    My first question is, what brand of clear would you guys use over dupont chromabase paint?

    Is there somewhere I can buy it online?

    Has anyone ever used Restorers choice clear? I have heard it works pretty well?

    Thanks!

    and just for fun here are a couple shots of the bumper i sprayed last week

    This is Omni paint (yes i know)

    first timer here… be easy on me fellas

    Hi Josh, welcome.

    Bumper looks good. I don’t think it matters much what clear you use over it, Any 2K …whatever works for you. I use BASF products and use Glasurit 923-109 as my go to clear for the most part. If your looking for a cost effective clear maybe look into southern polyurethanes, transtar and I think a few guys here use a NAPA clear (crossfire).

    I’m looking to go to a different clear because the omni is so hard to work with after it cures….

    thanks guys!

    Yeah napa sells clear, 15410 or 15420, I think the new numbers are FC410/420.. I have used both and they work well. Virtually no die back and you cant beat the price. Bondo can give you more info on these products.

    I really like the SPI stuff!!! I’m new at this stuff myself though

    I can lay out SPI’s MS clear with no need to Buff most projects!

    I also like Transtar Euro clear That’s a good one but spendy.
    Buffing was required on that one after a few coats and Beers I think the Beer had something to do with it though as the first two coats were killer :blush: I dunno the jury’s still out on that job. :blush:

    Hey Bondo?
    Was that supposed to be one or two beer between coats? I forgot to ask you… :unsure:
    Oh well…I think after the second coat I went too three any way :huh: .
    (threw the instructions out after the second coat :blush: )
    (dont do that! :blush: ) read your tech sheets! :S :whistle: :silly: :unsure: :huh:
