I read somewhere about Smokes Clear mixed with another color and how the colors don't mix. Also mentioned was how well the clear coats, or maybe how the 2 colors mixed coat.
Since I have some clear and quite a few other colors (all Smokes PC powder), I gave it a try. Black and clear appear grey, red and clear appear pink (etc) until cured. When cured, the color stands out as a speckled finish.
The important part was I got a complete coating that looks great. Strangely, the grease grooves appear clear while the sides and nose have the color.
I haven't used the clear by itself, and may not as I really like the look of the mixes. The clear really sticks to a bullet.
Neat stuff, PC is.....
