Austins right. Some clears take longer than others to cure.
You can get a job perfect, then stick it out in the sun, and this will probably bring back all the scratches. Doesn't even look like you buffed it. This really happens to darker colors since they draw so much heat.

I found out today that I put the wrong reducer in my clear.
I am using Chroma Base clear and I put the reducer for the base color in it by mistake. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/foreheadslap.gif Has this happened to anyone else and if so what should I expect? The paint man here didn't know what will happen. He suggested to let it dry for a couple weeks and try buffing it again.

Man,dont you friggin hate it when that happens /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flame.gif I don't remember DuPont that well but if the basecoat reducer has a hardner in it it's a guessing game now.I want to say since it didn't coagulate and you didn't notice a difference in spraying it there's a good chance it will eventually set up.If it doesn't continue to set in a week,2 tops,it's screwed-there's nothing for the base catalyst to bind with and it isn't working itself out.

Question, I have been using DuPont base coat for 2 years. My biggest complaint has always been, the job looks good untill I buff. Then a day later it looks Dull. I have re-buffed my last time. I now tell cutomers to bring it back in 2 weeks. Bty...I also used base reduser in my clear once...it worked out fine, just took a little longer to fully cure.
