Best technique for applying 2k Clear coat over Base coat + flash times etc?
hi all just wondering what is your technique in applying your 2k clear coat once you base coat has flashed and is cured
i tend to dust/dry spray on my base coat to iv good coverage,what ever amount of coats it takes,once its flashed i tack cloth the surface then get ready to apply my clear coat,
i try all sorts of methods but want to perfect just the one
i no base coats dry to a matt finish this is to allow clearcoat to stick/attac good,iv been told wet sanding base coats is not good idea,being metaalic/pearl
so i never wet sand my base
do yous dust on a skift/dust of clear coat over panel and wait to to its flashs/tacky then gives it a good full wet coat and let it flash/then give a final good full finished coat of clear coat
or do you start by full giving 3/4 wet coat of clear coat then let flash followeded by another good full wet clear coat to finish
also do yous add thinners to your clear coat and hardner mix??
i usually mix 2:1 clear to hardner and spray
but if its very warm 18 degrees+ id add 10% thinner so flow out better
what is Flash time for general 2K clear coats?
i tend to have to wait for about 45mins for it to flash,far too long
also what kinds/manufacturers of clear coats do use tend to use??
iv tryed alot and havnt got acostumed to 1 yet
upol 2k clear
Besa bernardos clear 2k
havnt tryed max meyer or clostermann clear
i tend to be getting runs even tho i havnt applied an overly thick amount of clear coat
seems to flow out and be perfect for about 5-10 minutes then any time after that the runs start to develope and clearcoat seem to flow for around 20-25mins before start to flash
seems to be flowing out for far too long,
maybe i need few heaters and bring shed temp to 25 degree's?
usually paint at about 14-16 degrees
painting with a devilbiss FLG-5 at 2bar 1.4mm tip,
dont have gun long so suppose mite take getting used to,
used it few times
another question out of the blue my Dad came back the other day with a
Palinal Multicryl expensive thinner 1/2 litre in a paint jar
i think he got it for mixing with base coat 2:1
what is it used for ??is it a fade out thinner
can any thinners be used as a fade out thinner for base coat into existing?
