Freddy, jsut remember that you shouldn't mix paint companies. Dupli color paint, Dupli Color clear. Krylon paint, Krylon clear. Different paint compaines and differnt paint types use chemicals and stuff that can react funny with eachother and create ugly and unwanted "custom" effects

I've heard that as well, but never actually experienced it. I've had good luck spraying Dupont Omni AU and PPG clears over Duplicolor, but that's just because that's what I had. If you were going to just buy clear, the Duplicolor Clear wheel coating works well too. No chips so far, and I don't exactly baby it
