Is this a paint I can brush on?

No. It is a spray base for refinish work. It needs the correct reducer and a spray gun, and it is meant to go over a primed panel.

Does it need a clear coat?

Yes. As a base it is not the final layer. A compatible clear or blended topcoat gives the satin-pearl finish and the protection.

The satin-pearl effect. It gives a low-sheen pearl look instead of a full gloss, which also hides small surface imperfections better.

It can be used for panel repair, but pearl satin is hard to blend into an adjacent panel. Expect to clear the whole panel for an even match.

A primer, the specified reducer, a spray gun and a ventilated space or booth. Follow the system's mixing ratio and flash times.
