I have blended clear many times with the clear I used on the car & I have used what is called a blending clear. I spray the clear in the repaired area then with the clear reduced more than what is called for I then spray 2 to3 inches around that area. I then spray just reducer out side that line fanning the gun. What that does is the reducer melts the new clear into the old clear. I have blended metallic & non metallic bases. I have learned this from top notch painter & guys who teach auto painting. So it can be done but it can also be a pain in the ***.
