Seeking advice on applying clear powder coat

What Is Clear Powder Coating? These guys are using only acrylic powder for clear coating. When enhancing base coat color they are applying the clear to the color during the curing process. This idea can be applied to your second coat of clear as you have no base color. If preheating the brass a bit before applying your clear doesn't fix your orange peel I would try the second coat during curing process and let the powder "melt" into the original coat. "Harrisonm" found this out through his own experimentation and is leading you down the right path if you don't want to do the post painting smoothing and polishing. One of the companies makes lockers for pro football teams and the military. I can remember several years ago making lockers for the Jets and the line never stopped between the first and second coats and the parts were not removed and rehung. The powder was melted into the green and silver parts and the finish was top shelf, several mils thick and shiny.
