    Kinda Weird

     



    Took the sled to a show Sunday and while sitting behind the car I noticed that even though the car is green, everything reflected was the proper color.
    Must be some science to explain it. Never took notice before.

    No Scientist by any stretch of the imagination but wouldn't the "Clear Coat" be doing the reflecting and not the "Color Coat"?
    Especially at that angle - - - - ???? Just a guess on my part????

    i has nothing to do with clear it has more to do with how flat the final finsh is and how good the buff job is as how it reflects light . i painted many cars guys always wanted to know how many coats of clear? tell them zero some just looked mad and walk away
