G'Day All,I have been told conflicting info,Can you 2 pac Clear over 1 Shot enamel.Thanks for any advise you give.
Cheers Mark

 

I have seen it done several times at work but we use PPG products. Im not sure about the 2 pack clears

 

Whats 2 pac clear?
For best results...add a "tad" bit of the clear hardener in the 1-shot.....reduces the risk of bleed through...

 

???

 

Why did I see that coming ^^^^

 

only if you add a little hardner to the One Shot. or use the urathain striping paint for perfect results

 

I clear over 1- shot all the time with Urethane without adding anything to it. I just let the solvents dry out thouroughly before clearing.
I used to add a drop or two of hardener to the 1-shot but it really didn't make any difference. Certain colors have a tendency to bleed if your not very carefull and it doesn't matter whether there is hardener added or not.

 

I clear over 1 shot all the time also I just let it sit fora week in a nice warm place or I take to my Buddyss shop and he bakes it in the Booth then let it cool then bake it again thencool once. More and I don't have any problems

 

Good clear adhesion is acheived if you apply the clear while the base is allowed to just tack off.
May be different if your base in non compatible. I maybe missreading somthing. Of not understanding a one shot.

 

Usually what I clear has been thoroughly dried out and color sanded, then pinstriped which is allowed to dry thoroughly, then cleared.

I did an experiment on one of my tractors years ago which included clearing over 1-shot, then using it as intended.... Serious abuse and weather extremes, washing it off once a year with engine cleaner, etc, etc..... Took 7.5 years before any delaminate on occurred....and that was over the 1-shot. I couldn't ask for more durability than that.
