2020 RTL in Asphalt Grey Metallic - does a Clear Coat go over the grey or Not?
On my wife's 2020 RTL in Asphalt Grey Metallic, I cleverly spilled brake fluid on the paint without noticing. Now I have an area of about six square inches to repaint. My question is: Does a clear coat go over the grey paint? Or is it left as it comes out of the rattle can?

A long time ago I had to drill a new hole ( RT 2014 ) because I swapped out the OEM antennae for a Bosche car antennae. I patched the orig. hole going the Bondo route and re-painted myself .... color was white pearl ... From 5 feet away you can't tell where it was re-painted ..... If the damaged panel is easy to remove, try re-painting the entire panel..... Basically you have nothing to lose by trying this yourself. If it fails go the pro route ..... good luck ..... And Yes it will need a CLEAR-coat to finish it.....Mike

Yes. If you are using the rattle can duplicate paints, you need the base color and the clear coat over it.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.
