August 26, 201312 yr comment_2848 Hello, I recently painted my wifes motorcycle with Testors Acrylic (Metallic) http://www.testors.com/products/137192 She liked the color.. I didn't think there would be a problem with DF.. Although I usually use 2 part stuff I thought I would give this a go. I decided to brush on, unthinned, but it looked like it was having trouble sticking to the paint, like it was repelling it. The end result was so bad I had to sand it all off and repaint. I repainted and redid with 2k product in the end. But I would like to know if you know of this issue, or if there is a cure? The tank is the same color and the gas has got underneath it at the cap and I'm thinking this would make a better seal at the cap.. if only I could get it to lay flat. Thanks for any help.

August 26, 201312 yr Author comment_2850 It had been cured for at least a week, but I didn't do anything to the paint afterwards. Thanks.

August 27, 201312 yr comment_2855 OK. Thanks. Wipe down the cured acrylic paint with KBS Klean. Then apply the DiamondFinish Clear in thin covering coats according to the directions. Please let us know if you have additional questions.

August 27, 201312 yr Author comment_2864 Just one... Will I need to scuff the the surface first.. or will the KBS Klean be sufficient?

August 27, 201312 yr comment_2866 You should not have to scuff the surface. Just cleaning the fully cured surface with KBS Klean should be perfect.
