I don't know about using clear coat with John Deere factory paint. Our painter expert told us you can't use clear coat with acrylic enamel. He said they react and make a mess of the surface. I'm not saying it wont work, but this is what I was told by a guy I really trust on such matters. I would consult a body shop before moving forward.

We just got done doing this 4040 entirely in automotive style base/clear mixed to Deere specs. It was certainly more expensive, but so worth it. I probably had 100 hours of prep time in this one and our painter probably had 100 himself. With that kind of time invested, we weren't about to stop short on materials just to save a few bucks. Good luck with your project! It's always more work than you think it should be, but it's an awesome feeling when you're done!
