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":41981201809526,"sku":"ALPH-VOL-GALREA-29935","price":511.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Quart (32oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Medium Reducer)","offer_id":41981201842294,"sku":"ALPH-VOL-QUAREA-29947","price":133.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pint (16oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Medium Reducer)","offer_id":41981201875062,"sku":"ALPH-VOL-PINREA-29948","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4oz \/ Ready To Spray (Medium Reducer)","offer_id":41981201907830,"sku":"ALPH-VOL-4OZREA-29949","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallon (128oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Slow Reducer)","offer_id":41981201940598,"sku":"ALPH-VOL-GALREA-29950","price":511.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Quart (32oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Slow Reducer)","offer_id":41981201973366,"sku":"ALPH-VOL-QUAREA-29951","price":133.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pint (16oz) \/ Ready To Spray (Slow Reducer)","offer_id":41981202006134,"sku":"ALPH-VOL-PINREA-29952","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4oz \/ Ready To Spray (Slow Reducer)","offer_id":41981202038902,"sku":"ALPH-VOL-4OZREA-29953","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallon (128oz) \/ Non-Reduced","offer_id":41981202071670,"sku":"ALPH-VOL-GALNON-29954","price":937.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Quart (32oz) \/ Non-Reduced","offer_id":41981202104438,"sku":"ALPH-VOL-QUANON-29955","price":245.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pint (16oz) \/ Non-Reduced","offer_id":41981202137206,"sku":"ALPH-VOL-PINNON-29956","price":131.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4oz \/ Non-Reduced","offer_id":41981202169974,"sku":"ALPH-VOL-4OZNON-29957","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1686\/7941\/files\/volkswagen-glutorange-ly2g-oematch-automotive-basecoat.jpg?v=1766563032"},{"product_id":"volkswagen-reflex-silver-metallic-a7w-oematch-automotive-basecoat","title":"VOLKSWAGEN Reflex Silver Metallic A7W | OEMatch Automotive Basecoat","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"tss-product-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tss-product-description-block\"\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"tss-product-description-main-title\"\u003eVOLKSWAGEN – OEMatch Automotive Basecoat Paint in Reflex Silver Metallic (A7W)\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tss-product-description-block\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis OEMatching Automotive Basecoat is precisely matched to \u003cstrong\u003eVOLKSWAGEN Reflex Silver Metallic (A7W)\u003c\/strong\u003e, engineered to deliver factory-accurate color performance for both professional painters and DIY users.
