    Ballstix Black second Coat

    incase this question comes up again in the future. I was told a scuff with a red pad after the product has fully cured.

    Ballstix Black second Coat

    I applied Ballistix Black and have a couple of areas that look a little light in application or gloss. What needs to be done to apply a second coat, I can spot repair or do I need to scuff and second coat the whole shop ?
