Over reduction or solvent blending of the clear coat will become visible over time due to UV exposure on the blended edge. The edge may also fade or peel over time due to the minimal film thickness of the blended edge. • Matrix recommends applying clear coat to the entire panel. Many of today’s late model cars do not have a distinct edge or a break line on the quarter panel, in these cases Matrix recommends applying the clear coat to the roof and the opposite quarter panel. • This procedure will assure a professional repair, that returns the vehicle back to pre accident condition 9. SUBSTRATES (Properly Prepared) • All Matrix Refinish Basecoats • Existing OEM Finishes 10.
