Nope. its spraying without getting it to drip.

I've used 2k clear on several older vehicles. It surely qualifies as good enough. Trick I learned was heavier coats are better than light ones. Looks good from 20ft but most importantly stops the clear coat peel from spreading :)

If a proper prep and good 2k clear is used, it will not continue to peel. The new clear will provide the proper u.v. protection to prevent further failures.

Members only jacket lol. I'm barely old enough to remember that

Just be careful with that 2K clear. Super dangerous stuff. Technically, you should have an forced air mask, but at a MINIMUM, you should be using that outdoors or in a VERY well ventilated area with a respirator and paint cartridges.

So what you should have said is I am going to teach the wrong way of working on cars one part at a time! But is cool as long as the job gets half way done and it works is all good

thank you lewis starting my paint project soon

It even made the faded spots look good

you could go down even to a 160-200 grit for the clear removal, maybe even down to 120 grit. And for home paint jobs, using low pressure air (40-60 psi) you can blow off the car in between coats to help minimize the dust trapped on the surface to cut down on the cut and buff at the end

@Fhwgads11

11 ай бұрын

That’s pretty aggressive, you’d have to come back up to 400 (ideally more like 800) unless you want sand scratches all throughout your clear. The risk of going through the exposed paint would be way too high if all you want to do is just re-clear

So many DIY guys say it's easy, and then break out the 2k. You need a face shield respirator for something as poisoning as that. That no longer makes it as easy as these vids are saying

Thank you! I have a 2005 Acura which is in pretty good shape except the clearcoat and I don't want to pour a lot of time or work into it because with 215K miles and at almost 20 years old I don't plan on keeping it much longer so a fix like this is good to make it look good for the rest of its realistic life (the interior has irreversible damage like cracked dash and perforated seats that are tearing between perforations)

Have a 2007 Camry and trust me. My interior was worse than you could imagine happen aftwr what monstrosity you already described. Google Toyota cheap interior issue on 2007-2010 Camry and Lexus if you want to know. The dashboard would melt and stick to your hands. I got it fixed by going to one of those car seat and upholstery shops, they put a faux leather same color as my dashboard and now my dash looks brand new. The upholstery all over the car got changed as well and it looks brand new. Now was thinking to get the car poloshed but wanted to paint clear coat, which the paint shop duped me out of by claiming he will do it all, but did a bad job of polishing ( no wet sanding, just polished portions of the car and then shampooed and slightly waxed)

All right you convinced me 2kis the way

Fantastic job bro!

Dam that’s real nice I’m gonna have to do that soon

The reason people dont do this is that the clear and base a bonded together when sprayed. Doing this means that the weak point is the base. Sure it works and it should last a while, but how long it lasts will be how good the bas coat is that you sprayed it to. Ive debated doing this because all my vehicles have this problem. But eventually ill just respray the whole thing in a single stage paint with some hardener from tractor supply for $100. Car paint is insanely priced now adays. From the prep to labor to the actual paint cost. Ill go with a tractor paint lol.

That still looks great I'll have try this on my truck roof noone will see it anyways

How long did this last? Especially without matching paint.

Great job

2k is the real deal and dangerous because of it. Full respirator like in the vid, minimum.

I like to use if it’s not sun faded like that and just little scratches or some overspray or something I just wet sand, clean it up and then clear it

You could put a couplenlayers of base on before the clear because judgingbby how much clear was missing the base had probable started fading too, but thats not bad if someone just wants an improvement and notba perfect paint job, do you know how well its held up?

Ohhh so he's a painter too niiiiiiice

You should really be adding plastic at the bottom to at least protect the unmasked areas from overspray, other than that, nothing beats that 2k aerosol clear!

Great results. I ordered the same 2k clear coat almost a year ago. I have just been debating myself on how to prep the car. Thank you for the video. It gave me the push I needed to jump in. Much respect 🙏 🫡.

It looks good but the dry sanding with such a rough grit is scary, could’ve took too much off

I would definitely get a plastic car cover for the car, cut out what you’re spraying and tape edges again. Otherwise you risk overspray on your other panels, plastic

Good results!

I’m sure that there’s over spray all over the car 😓cover the vehicle

Go ahead and buff it lol

Good shit Luis! You made me feel confident in doing it. I jusy got done using some mcguires conpound shit but i can still see the oxi marks so maybe ill do this in a few months. I was worried about doing this wrong and drips and unglossed surfaces as i did with desk top several days ago. Lol

So you sprayed right on top of the clear coat oxidation?

I just plastidipped my accord back in the day when the roof was bad lol nice video though

Think u forgot the most important, (wet sanding)

That overspray must look horrible

It came out super hazy, because the rattle has not got enough preasure and any kind of wind would cause oversprays. Can you show the after cut and polish?

You should be using denatured alcohol to clean not mineral spirits. Mineral spirits is for cleaning after using oil based paints. It will leave a residue behind on the surface when used the way you used it here

Lol hermano, man this was brave. Sand it down with 800 grit and water with a block, less scratches to fill for a smoother surface but it’s not a repair that will hold or look great

Well the prep not well done because this clear fly really quick and it will stick to everything and you just wrap only around the areas which got clear but you forgot the rest of the car and the mineral spirits is oily so I think there is a lot missing here by the way I am no expert on paint but I do work a lot on shops
