Black Knight
Williams, 1980I have done 3 coats of automotive clear, leveled everything out pretty good.
Not looking for perfection, but it's hazy
I have buffed with a cutting pad, then polishing pad, then finishing pad.
I used novus 2 and bc-2 auto Magic premium final finish wax and carnauba wax, and it's not quite finished, what do I do to bring the shine???
Thanks guys
Quoted from vid1900:Looks like the clear is not fully cured yet, so way too soon to buff.
Also while you are waiting, scuff up those inserts and fill those holes and dips with clear so the whole playfield is completely level.
After I fill those and ask it to level, should I lay another coat of clear... its got 3 coats on it...how long should I wait before I sand again after filling the holes? ... how long until I can buff after the paint application?

I don't think you will need another coat of clear.
3 is plenty.

Depends on the temp, the brand of clear, the speed of the hardener, if you added any fisheye eliminator crap to the mix..... do a fingernail test and wait until its hard.

Very cool, Thanks for the reply!
I'll do everything and report back
The flipper bushings are not glued in, I just have them in there to collect , they can be removed with out cutting
