What happens here

Apply the second layer, a clear coat of Citadel's UL-80 Polyaspartic. This material offers a longer working time (35-minute pot life) compared to the first epoxy layer. Mix the polyaspartic components thoroughly, pour it onto the scraped and cleaned flake layer, and spread it evenly with a squeegee. Immediately after spreading, broadcast another layer of decorative flakes over the wet polyaspartic. Allow this coat to cure, typically overnight.

Goal: Apply a polyaspartic layer with additional decorative flakes.

down first. Then we threw our first flake coat and we used the PLE 100 FC. It's a Fast Gear epoxy that we threw our first flake coat on. Then we came back, top coated that with UL80 Poly aspartic. Threw our next flake coat on top of that. And then we're going to be going over the top of that with our final uh finish coat, Poly1 HD UDP, which is a performance top coat that resists hot tire pickup and scratching. All right,
