anyone have experience spraying flat black with clear coat? (special clear coat for flat black)
Sure what do you want to know?IMO it is much easier and less work to use a black single stage urethane with a flattening agent added,work smart not hard 😉
basically dont ya just shoot the preflatted clear like ya want it all slick an shiney an let the clear do all the work for ya as it drys :stoned
I’m with Jayson, flat SS is less work. However, we always do flat clear as we don’t have and SS in the shop so it is quicker than ordering in something that may only get used once or twice a year.
As Bondo said, shoot is like normal clear. Just doesn’t have to be as wet. Read the tech sheet for it and don’t F*** it up or else you’ll be re-spraying it.
I’m with everyone else as far as using a flat single stage black. You are wasting your time spraying a flat black then a flat clear. The flat result comes from the flat clear only (if you are clearing).
Or even easier, just spray black primer.thanks guys..but i want to spray the whole body..can single stage lasting for many years? do single stage paint have UV protection?
Yes of course it does,many oem highway tractors and new chevy truck solid colors are still single stage.A single stage solid color still looks better than bc/cc,as long as you use good products it will last indefinately.
I like the singlestage flat blacks to. I’m going to be recording a vid this weekend spraying a jetski using RM UNO I thing SC02 … I’ve used it before on some other things and its held up a few years so far just fine. It’s pretty simple to spray for sure. I would have to think a flat clear would have better UV protection (compared to a singlestage) but noticed most tech sheets I’ve come across suggest applying an extra coat of flat clear, would lead me to believe that a flattened clear doesn’t hold up as well as a regular one. Just my thoughts. :hunt
im confused with flatting agent. how to mix? cannot wait to watch your new video..hehehe
I’m sure they’re all mixed different. My glasurit ones I think are 50:50 clear:matting agent then hardened 2:1 (clear/matting:hardener). The preflattened uno (singlestage) just gets hardener and reducer added and ready to spray.
can i use medium solid clear coat for my project? or i must use high solid clear coat? i heard medium solid is easy to spray but the layer is thin then high solid? it is true?? what the difference is?
thanks
yeah, if your going with bc/cc be sure to lay the clear as if you wanted it glossy otherwise it just ends up more of a foggy look. :stoned
Be a bit before i’ll have the video up, some pics attached here.
wow..u use ss or matte agent with clear coat? still waiting for your video ..hehe
that’s singlestage
