2k will not need a clear coat Some restoring companys use the 2k as the colour and then clear ,but you need to get the colour on pretty flat What brand have you bought as some of the cheaper ones I mix at 3 /1 Best to go higher pressure to when spraying start off 32 psi just over 2bar then see how it sprays out ,I normally sit at 2 1/2 bar don't mind that bit more material use with a 1.3 tip ,brand gun makes alot of difference to If it's over 25 degrees go with slow hardner and thinner if you use that flow's out nicer

1 ltr of 2k mixed 2/1 Id say 300ml a side 2 coats 150 more if you do 3 on top Always better to buy more than you need just incase Solvent 1/2! Ltr mixed 50/50 Give you plenty then clear coat be same as 2k Waterbase depends on brand and if it's one visit or normal What colour are you painting over as yellow can be . thin and need more coats of the good enough ground coat
