    Hi im spraying my mates car which is magic black what would be a good clear coat to use for luster?

    PPG,Dupont,Max Meyer,Standox these are the products my dealer supplies.

    Cheers

    i like the dupont 5100 clear. it sits flat and has lots of gloss.

    Standox has a premium clear to this day it has the highest gloss ive ever since..I ve used dupont,spies,nason,standox,ppg and Rm clears i think dupont has a 4900 or 4300 clear that is okay and very easy to shoot…Premium took about 4 jobs until i got the hang of it

    So standox is good in your opinion but can you explain how you made it work for you

    Mate try 0300 with the correct hardener and im sure you will be impressed. I use 0200 on all collision repair work but im looking for a clear that will produce a long term finish and high gloss finish.

    Standox.
    Dont use 15-60—too sensitive

    Premium Clear

    2 to 1 with the 20 -30 hardner

    5 percent 15-25 express thinner

    Tight first coat – three inch from the panel moving about twice as fast as your used to at 6 inches

    give it 10-15 minutes to flash ..18-20 if ur booth has bad airflow

    then just give it a wet 2nd coat normal speed and normal distance

    Becareful don’t let the clear build up to 3 coats on the blends in between panels
    because it will run. Don’t stop at the end of panels either blend into each panel

    Good luck its a beautiful clear it might pinch but it buffs out perfectly
