    BASF recommends applying the full specified amount of clearcoat to the entire panel for lifetime warranty eligibility. Blending the clearcoat reduces thickness at the blend edge and can cause the edge to become visible after weathering or polishing. For this reason, BASF will not warrant blended clearcoat edges, though blending is acceptable for non-warranty repairs where cost is a priority. Technical documents provide guidelines for proper clearcoat application.

    RE: Clearcoat Application Request 2014

    Dear Aaron:

    BASF recommends applying the specified amount of clear to the entire panel when doing
    Basecoat/Clearcoat repairs. This will make the repair eligible for the Glasurit or R-M lifetime
    warranty.

    Blending the clearcoat requires that the thickness of clear be reduced in the blend area. This
    can result in the clearcoat blend edge becoming visible after a period of exposure to sunlight
    and weather. The blend edge can also become visible if it is polished too aggressively.

    For these reasons, BASF will not warrant the blended edges of clearcoats. Although, BASF has
    developed processes and products for blending clearcoats, these are intended as a cost saving
    measure in those instances where an economical, non-warranty repair is required.

    Detailed guidelines for applying clearcoats can be found in the R-M or Glasurit technical data
    sheets and technical reference manuals. These documents can also be found online at

    Sincerely,

    Jeff Wildman
