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":42881203994742,"sku":"ALPH-LOT-GALREA-1458460","price":683.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Quart (32oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Medium Reducer)","offer_id":42881204027510,"sku":"ALPH-LOT-QUAREA-1458461","price":178.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pint (16oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Medium Reducer)","offer_id":42881204060278,"sku":"ALPH-LOT-PINREA-1458462","price":96.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4oz \/ Ready To Spray (Medium Reducer)","offer_id":42881204093046,"sku":"ALPH-LOT-4OZREA-1458463","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallon (128oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Slow Reducer)","offer_id":42881204125814,"sku":"ALPH-LOT-GALREA-1458464","price":683.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Quart (32oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Slow Reducer)","offer_id":42881204158582,"sku":"ALPH-LOT-QUAREA-1458465","price":178.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pint (16oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Slow Reducer)","offer_id":42881204191350,"sku":"ALPH-LOT-PINREA-1458466","price":96.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4oz \/ Ready To Spray (Slow Reducer)","offer_id":42881204224118,"sku":"ALPH-LOT-4OZREA-1458467","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallon (128oz) \/ Non-Reduced","offer_id":42881204256886,"sku":"ALPH-LOT-GALNON-1458468","price":1280.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Quart (32oz) \/ Non-Reduced","offer_id":42881204289654,"sku":"ALPH-LOT-QUANON-1458469","price":335.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pint (16oz) \/ Non-Reduced","offer_id":42881204322422,"sku":"ALPH-LOT-PINNON-1458470","price":180.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4oz \/ Non-Reduced","offer_id":42881204355190,"sku":"ALPH-LOT-4OZNON-1458471","price":60.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1686\/7941\/files\/lotus-calypso-red-l42-oematch-automotive-basecoat.jpg?v=1765384377"}],"url":"https:\/\/thespraysource.com\/collections\/lotus-oematch-basecoat-paint.oembed?page=3","provider":"The Spray Source","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
