Thats how I painted my Harley- 2 coats PPG Concept, 1 coat 50/50 clear and color, then 1 final coat of clear...Turned out great and no way the clear can ever seperate from the color, which is what I hate about 2-stage paints...In about another year or two I'm going to repaint the Mopar the same way
