About Car-Rep 2K Polyurethane Clear Coat High Gloss 11oz
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
63% praised for its strong adhesion, though 37% experienced peeling issues
The clear coat seems to be stuck to the surface, but it's brittle and not flexible. There's no adhesion issue.
After 1-2 months of application on metal panels, the product started to crack.
64% praised for its chemical resistance, though 36% noticed damage from cleaning products
I experienced surface failure with the product where two parts developed clear cracking after three weeks of dry time. The finish initially looked great but eventually shrunk and cracked, reminding me of old lacquer which is not desirable.
The paint did not harden even after two weeks.
67% liked how it maintained the original color, though 33% noticed some fading
I have used this clear coat for various projects, including my car tags, computer cases, and my wife's ground effects. I apply it after all the body and prep work, primer coat, color coat, and clear it with the 2k clear.
I believe that the CarRep 2k caused the paint to not retain its color as expected, as it did not happen with my other projects painted with a different 2k clear coat.
The clear coat ate away at the color rite paint and made it run.
69% appreciated how easy it was to clean
I found it easy to apply this clear coat to a guitar body, but had to be careful of runs.
The product flows out nicely and dries to a high gloss most of the time, without the need for cutting or buffing. However, it can be done if needed.
For small projects that don't require the time to mix regular clear for a spraygun and then cleaning out the spraygun, it is great.
68% found it easy to use and apply
Applying clear coat to a guitar body is easy, but one must be careful of runs.
68% praised for its high-gloss finish, while 32% found it lacked luster
My clearcoat cracked all over my project after I pulled my car out in the sun one day later.
Over an extended time, the finish appeared to shrink and crack.
63% liked its scratch-resistant properties, but 37% found it prone to scratches
The paint is easily scratchable with a fingernail, indicating poor scratch resistance.
