Car-Rep® 2K Polyurethane Clear Coat

Car-Rep® 2K Polyurethane Clear Coat with Wise 2K® Technology forms a strong and extremely durable crystal clear chip, chemical and UV resistant film. It can be applied over solvent or waterborne base coats. Revolutionary Wise 2K® technology delivers 2K OEM performance without the worry about premature hardening in the can.
Features superior gloss retention and quick chemical resistance. High quality blendability and quality spray and flow.

Suggested Uses and Substrates

Uses: Designed to provide extremely durable coating on top of bare metal or painted surface.

List of suitable substrates: Bare Aluminum, Bare and Galvanized Steel, OEM Finish, Old Paint**, Most Plastics

Unsuitable substrates: Styrofoam

Flash time: 10-15 min

Dust dry: 15 min

Touch dry: 60 min

Polishable: Overnight

Final hardness and chemical resistance: 8-10 days

Application Instructions

Surface Preparation: Make sure the surface is clean before application. Sand if necessary. When applied over base coat, clean the surface with a pre paint cleaner such as degreaser. Make sure the cleaner doesn’t contain strong solvents such as thinner or acetone. For previously painted surfaces, make sure the previous layer is fully cured before overpainting if not advised otherwise.
Aerosol spraying distance: 15-25 cm (6-10 in)

Coats: Maximum 3 layers

Flash-off time: 3 min between layers

Application: It is better to apply more thin layers than a few thick layers. Final layer should always be a wet layer. Application and curing temperature 18-25°C (64-77°F) Polishing: After curing overnight or 40 min @ 70 °C (158 °F)

Clean nozzle: By holding the can upside down and spraying for 5 seconds

How It Works

Car-Rep's® patented 2-component Wise 2K technology features both the deactivated hardener and the paint in a 1-component can. The hardener only activates when sprayed and not inside the can, which means Car-Rep® 2K products have a revolutionary UNLIMITED potlife.

Forget about activation, mixing and waste; Car-Rep® 2K products are always ready and incredibly easy to use. You can use the entire can with no waste.

Both the epoxy and polyurethane technologies deliver outstanding 2-component performance: superior adhesion with corrosion, chemical, stratch and UV resistance.

Car-Rep® 2K is a 2-component spray paint intended for serious automotive enthusiasts. With Car-Rep® 2K car refinish products, you’ll guarantee OEM quality car refinish job with ease.

 

1-component paints are air-drying, whereas 2-component paints harden trough chemical crosslinking of the resin and the hardener. The chemical hardening process of 2-component paints enable unequaled properties such as extreme bonding, superior corrosion resistance, resistance for chemicals such as acetone and gasoline as well as extremely durable and diamond hard surface.

Car-Rep® 2K is for serious automotive enthusiasts, who only wants the best for their four-wheeled jewel. 2-component products enable unequaled properties such as extreme bonding, superior corrosion resistance, resistance for chemicals such as acetone and gasoline as well as extremely durable and diamond hard surface.

Painting with Car-Rep® 2K products is as easy as painting with a regular 1-component solution. However, the unequaled properties of 2K paints guarantee that the painted surface is going to last whether you liked it or not. Be sure to perform proper surface preparation before application as removing Car-Rep® 2K is going to be a tough job.

Clean and sand the surface thoroughly. Start with 320, proceed with 400, then wet sand with 600 or 800, if desired finish with 1200/1500. Clean the surface with a pre paint cleaner. For previously painted surfaces make sure the previous layer is fully cured before overpainting.

No. The paint and the hardener are already mixed together inside the can and begin cross-linking when released to the atmospheric pressure by spraying. Your only concern is to shake the can for 3-minutes upside down before painting. Reuse always when needed.

Painting outdoors is possible in the right conditions. Optimal painting conditions are at 18-25°C (64-77°F), relative air humidity 35% – 75%. Do not expose to water or dew before 12 hours.

Yes, you can. For a serious car refinish job, 2-component products are often used for priming and clear coating, whereas the OEM color layer is often 1-component. The 2-component primer ensures extreme bonding and superior corrosion resistance whereas the clear coat provides extremely durable and diamond hard surface that is resistant to chemicals such as acetone and gasoline. However, if you only need a solid color such as black or white, you can simply use our Car-Rep® 2K Top Coats, which will ensure the same adhesion and corrosion resistance properties as the primers combined with a diamond hard and chemical resistant surface. Note: Some alkyd paints might react with Car-Rep® 2K. Test before application.

The final hardness together with chemical resistance are obtained in 8 days. The surface should be handling dry in 12 hours, but patience is important. The key to a flawless long-lasting surface is letting the object dry accordingly before use.
