"Hi, I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Ok now Andy's going to adjust the gun. Get the right pattern he wants. One screw adjust the air, the other screw adjust the fluid. Now he's applying the clear coat to the brake calipers. This'll take at least two coats of clear. He's going to see how it lays out. His first coat goes on pretty light. He's just trying to get everything nice and tacky without getting any runs in it. The clear coat is the final protection to the piece. It makes it shiny, keeps it from rusting. Everything else we put on it is just so that the clear will go on and look good. None of the other products we put on are really a durable product. This is what protects everything. The other products we put on here are pretty thin. The clear coat will go on real heavy. Several meals per coat."
