whats you views on this clear? The guys at the paint shop says that he sells a ton of it to body shops.

Never used it. Just because they sell a ton doesn’t mean it’s any good.
From what I have read most people who have tried the Transtar liked SPI alot better. The one thing that worries me on lower end clears like Transtar is the amount of UV screeners in them. That is usually the best place to cut costs.
I think Han has used some so maybe he will chime in with his opinion.
If your looking for a decent priced product that is very good quality look into Lesonal. I have used a good amount of it over the years and have always been impressed.
I have used some of the Euro clear about 5-6 years ago on a few completes,seemed to work okay, didnt buff bad. I havent seen any of those cars in a few years so I cant say how well it holds up.. I would stick with PPG clear if you are using their base..
I have used a few Gallons of that Transtar good stuff!
A little on the yellow side but good stuff
For the money they want for that stuff you could probably get PPG :SWhats the Deltron can for?
Yes, i’ve used lots of it and it does hold up well. But with the amber
cast, it’s not good for collision/spot jobs. I payed around a $130/kit
and you get nearly 2 gallons; not bad for the money. But if color matches
are important to you, then use a “clear” clear (SPI).I’ve read a while ago that the amber cast was to help with UV protection
in lower end clears…i used ta use the same one yrs back not bad stuff i would put some of there accelerator in it an it seemed ta work pretty nice didnt care for their kwick clear though that stuff seemed a bit on the twitchy side :unsure:

I’ve tried all there other clears…they all suck, except this 7021/7311.
Tried most of there primers too…again, crap.well, this sucks. I was planing to use that on my truck to reclear the whole thing. The small can is the base. I am going to return it to get a gallon of base to do the whole truck now.
I dont want the clear to be ‘Yelow looking’. I was told that it wasnt yellow looking. Maybe something you did to get that effect???
It’s yellow. Don’t listen to the guy selling the stuff.
Since you’re shooting the entire truck, it’ll look fine.
99% of folks wont be able to tell. It’s a good looking clear.Bumper, hood and the entire drivers side was painted.

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v345/zsolo/Cars/PICT0057.jpg[/IMG]Well, I thought for a $130 it would be reasonable to make the whole truck look 100% better. Maybe I better look in to something else.
The cost for the good clear they had sold for $105 for a [i]gallon[/i]. That’s why I bought this stuff. $130 for 5 liters. Almost 2 gallons sprayable.
but your truck is black, an amber clear prolly wouldnt show unless it was green then ur truck would look more bluish.
The price is good. An amber cast on black won’t matter.
thers that yellow cokebottle again :rofl
Not quite black but it looks fantastic.

very good too. You have it, use it.
