Aerosol 2K Clear Coat

[AMC RULES 37,130]

Yeah you know, I could see it being a throwback to the old...

Oleg Cassini, 

Pierre Cardin,

Gucci, 

and/or Levi's days.

The '86 420LSE did mark the end of the AMC days.

2K paints/coatings require a chemical reaction for hardening. Hardeners are usually isocyanates that combine with the base paint to form very durable coatings.

Take a look at this page, it should answer your question.

What got my interest was the fact that a true 2K clear will not react with whatever base coat it is applied to. Since it is not a chemical, but a mechanical adhesion, it does not wrinkle, lift, or change the color of the paint beneath it. As much as I have tried to get a nice glossy finish with the rattle can Krylon, I have been instructed to use 600 grit sandpaper or comparable Scotchbrite on all the surfaces to create "tooth" for adhesion. 

I have to admit that my 13 year old grandson has done a pretty good job of painting, but I'm am not happy with the way that it chips so easily. I am a stickler for safety in painting, and have let him paint using a half-face respirator with 3M filters for the Krylon, but I'm not letting him anywhere near the 2K stuff. Later this school year, (he's in 8th grade) they are allowing him to go to the high school Career & Technology center to take a semester in autobody. He is quite excited about that.
