Wish I saw this video before I used it on a panel. Can instructions do not say anything about a light first coat. It pebbles very badly at first so I put on a heavier first coat to flatten it out. On horizontal surfaces it works great, but on vertical I got runs. Can instructions also only say 5 minutes between coats. Haven't sanded it yet, so we'll see how it goes.
I used your 2X gloss clear coat on a vintage motorcycle tank. I sprayed the clear coat 3 days ago and left it over the weekend to fully cure. I followed the instructions every step of the way, and it looked fantastic when I left the shop for the weekend. The finish exceeded my expectations. When I came back in this morning, the clear coat was covered in spider cracks all over. They are so deep, that they catch your fingernail when you lightly drag it over the surface. I don't blame the product at all. It worked great on other pieces of the project. Do you have any idea what could cause this? It is a 2 colour candy red and silver fuel tank which will take time to sand down and respray before I can try again with the 2K clear coat. I am hoping that you have some guidance so that my second attempt will be successful.
Good presentation, but I am left wondering what to do about various different colours and what types of compatible paints I can use between the Car-Rep primer and the Car-Rep clear coat?
WARNING: do not use Car-Rep 2K Polyurethane Clear Coat. This product over dark colors will crack if exposed to sunlight. Stuff looked great until exposed to sunlight. What a nightmare . . . literally.
Are you sure it was not operator error. They say this stuff drys much more quickly. If that is the case it would seem that if you spray it on and then 12hrs later take your vehicle out into the sunlight it might cure too quickly. Perhaps it needs 48hrs before taking it out into the light.
