Hey, I was wondering if anyone is still using, or has used RM DC5335 Glamour clear? I don’t what hardener to use since I can’t find a tech sheet on it. Has it been discontinued? I know jimmo used it on a Camaro and it looked great. I was thinking of trying this clear on a restoration project. I would appreciate some input. Thanks
the tds is on http://www.basfrefinish.com. the mix ratio is 4-1-1 dh42,46,47 is the hardner and ur or vr reducer.i used it once on my mustang and it took long to dry…i dont have a bake.
If youve got a bake booth use the Dc5335, its an awesome clear. If you cant bake, dont use it. It takes forever to dry. The Dc92 is a good alternative to the dc5335. I recently started using it and I love it. I would rather use the dc5335, but I dont have a “bake” booth. both great clears imo.:rock
Thanks for all your input. Yea I Can’t bake so I guess that is not a clear for me. I will certainly like to try the DC92.
If you like runs you will like dc92,it is a nice clear but not real user friendly and kind of finicky.
Most the problems from what Ive been told was from baking it and reflow during the baking process is where the sags and runs come from. If you dont bake it, its just fine (which I cant bake so im golden). I havent had any issues with it at all, and im doing 3-4 cars a day with no runs or sags. I use the dh42 hardner and ur50 reducer. any slower than that and you will run it. either you love it or hate it.
I felt the same as Jayson about DC92. I used some years back and it wasn’t my favorite. It looked great but as stated once the booth started baking if you had a area that was a little too heavy it would take off. I was quite a bit younger when I used it so who knows I could have just been hammering the crap out of them :whistle:
Good to hear your having luck with it Rodney!
seems most of the basf clears are like that when you bake them. you really need to let them tack up for 10 minutes or so before hitting the bake cycle. 109 and 255 are a little bit better and holding on
