Hey everyone! :welc

I’ll be painting my bumper next week. I have 2 clears:

Nason 465 with med. reducer
Lesonal ProAir with fast hardener

I’ll be using R-M Diamont basecoat. Temperatures these days range about 66-80F (18-27C).
I like the Lesonal better since its very user friendly, easier to spray and kinda hard to get runs with it. :whistle:
Do you guys think I could get away with spraying Lesonal with fast hardener? Or would you use Nason.
Nason is supposed to be a “Glamor” (ie: better) better. :whistle:

The lesonal is a better clear. For just a bumper you could get away with the fast, I would try to paint it when it’s below 75 degrees though.

You could just go buy a quart of slow hardener :whistle:

Great! I’ll use the Lesonal. Most likely I’ll be painting at night, its about 62 now so I’ll be fine.
Just looked at the TDS and it mentions: “For larger vehicles and higher temperatures, 10% Lesonal reducer can be added to improve flow and leveling”.

I have half quart of a universal urethane reducer left, I’ll use that if needed.

Thanks for reply! :rock
