So as I was at the autostore trying to pick up some painting supplies to start getting color on my bike I was torn at which clear coat to pick up. Duplicolor as two different clears, the perfect match clear in the 8oz spray cans for $7.50 and the arcylic lacquer clear in the 12 oz cans for about $5.50. Is there a big difference between the two? I plan on doing a final top coat of 2K clear on everything but i want to make sure before I do that I'm getting the right clear down first. saving 2 buck a can isn't much and if the perfect match is that much better then I will just be using that. As anyone had experience with either of them?
