Kind of like that white shirt that ages over time and starts becoming off-white but you don`t notice till you are standing next to someone with a brand new white shirt on. Then you are like oh damn my shirt is not white anymore. lol

Thanks. Now that is a really good analogy lol.

great work Guz

any pointers on using Can Coat? I`m going to be offering it this summer as my new intro coating - bottle is still sitting on my shelf as we speak.

Thanks.

With can coat I would recommend using it in small sections. Acts just like a coating with it flashing. It`s a bit hard to level out depending on the temperature and humidity. Mind you I was working outside under a tarp so that played a factor in it.

It`s essentially a wipe on wipe off application. No need to let it sit longer than a minute. Sort of like DLUX if you have ever used that. I would stick with a low nap microfiber towel (300-350 gsm) for removal. It feels grabby with a towel that is more plush.

I used a handheld microfiber applicator to apply it. Seemed to work well. I did not try applying it it with a towel. Other than that it went on fairly well. I think i used a little too much for my first go around with it.

I forgot to post these the other day. This was 2 days after I had one stepped it. I took these as I went for a walk around the facility.

A bit washed out. But gloss looks good. Hopefully can coat lasts long with the paint being single stage.

The two main things he wanted done was:

1. Restore the paint - accomplished.
2. Restore the trim - accomplished.
