The clearcoat then covers the entire panel (or the blend area + full panel), locking everything in and making the repair seamless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alpha Automotive Paint","offers":[{"title":"Gallon (128oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Medium Reducer)","offer_id":42833234722934,"sku":"ALPH-KAR-GALREA-195857","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Quart (32oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Medium Reducer)","offer_id":42833234755702,"sku":"ALPH-KAR-QUAREA-195858","price":130.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pint (16oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Medium Reducer)","offer_id":42833234788470,"sku":"ALPH-KAR-PINREA-195859","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4oz \/ Ready To Spray (Medium Reducer)","offer_id":42833234821238,"sku":"ALPH-KAR-4OZREA-195860","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallon (128oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Slow Reducer)","offer_id":42833234854006,"sku":"ALPH-KAR-GALREA-195861","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Quart (32oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Slow Reducer)","offer_id":42833234886774,"sku":"ALPH-KAR-QUAREA-195862","price":130.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pint (16oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Slow Reducer)","offer_id":42833234919542,"sku":"ALPH-KAR-PINREA-195863","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4oz \/ Ready To Spray (Slow Reducer)","offer_id":42833234952310,"sku":"ALPH-KAR-4OZREA-195864","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallon (128oz) \/ Non-Reduced","offer_id":42833234985078,"sku":"ALPH-KAR-GALNON-195865","price":911.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Quart (32oz) \/ Non-Reduced","offer_id":42833235017846,"sku":"ALPH-KAR-QUANON-195866","price":238.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pint (16oz) \/ Non-Reduced","offer_id":42833235050614,"sku":"ALPH-KAR-PINNON-195867","price":128.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4oz \/ Non-Reduced","offer_id":42833235083382,"sku":"ALPH-KAR-4OZNON-195868","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1686\/7941\/files\/karmann-maraschino-red-metallic-y3v-oematch-automotive-basecoat.jpg?v=1773329943"}],"url":"https:\/\/thespraysource.com\/collections\/karmann-oematch-basecoat-paint.oembed?page=166","provider":"The Spray Source","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
