Step 4Spraying the clearcoat
Spraying the clearcoat on your part in this step is different than if you were actually spraypainting it. I applied a thicker than normal coat so that when I sprinkle the glass beads onto the wet surface there is enough paint to adhere them to the surface.
I highly recommend you do a test run on a piece of cardboard to get a feel for exactly how it's done.
You will want to avoid a really thick coat, you do not want any runs, drips or pooling of the clearcoat.
The clearcoat I used stated it "dried in minutes" which ended up being a slight problem (I'll describe later). If you can find a non-quick dry clearcoat it would give you more working time to sprinkle the glass beads and re-sprinkle as necessary to get proper coverage.
