This is how I mix my 2K clear. People have asked so here it is! 

Thank you Mattew for sharing this tip with us all. FYI, if you'll take a rag soaked in lacquer thinner and wipe the inside of your hardner cap and around the spout, it won't weld itself together. Take care my friend and happy modeling. Don😎 P.S. Your little 62 bubble top is looking great.

I had no idea Mr. Color Leveling Thinner (Lacquer Thinner with Retarder) was compatible! BRILLIANT!

Nice to know Mr hobby LT works as a thinner for this. I do think you need to make a strong point about using a proper respirator and gloves when mixing and spraying. A long sleeve shirt wouldn't hurt either. This stuff can cause some serious damage to your lungs - think inhaling fine droplets of superglue. Once it's in there, you're not getting it out! Don't let a nice gloss cost you more than the price of the product. You're doing tremendous work, keep it up!

I really appreciate you reviewing this with us. I have bought the same 2K that you are using, and I got it from Amazon. Thanks from sharing.

Hi matt. I used before the Zero 2k diamond clearcoat,and it was magic for me. Then i got from a friend who works in a automotive shop a small batch of the 2k they are selling. And after some testings and try and error WE found out that for automotive the bist for the first layer RISE the pressure to 30 PSI and lower the paint output, then the 2th coat a bit more paintout put and lower the pressure to max 25 PSI. The 3th and last coat with the same paint output but lowering the pressure to between 18 and 20 PSI. Then with the MR leveling thinner you got the best result. Why 30 PSI at the mist coat and lower paint output.Easy because the higher pressure makes the mist even finer. The first coat is the tackcoat. And the finer the tackcoat is,the better the 2th coat will stick and level out. By lowering the pressure you will avoid on the 3th coat the rimpeling effect,where the high pressure new paint will move the old paint. Think about it as blowing in a glass of water. That automotive clearcoat is a budget saver.

The Acme 2k can also be thinned with regular hardware store lacquer thinner instead of the sometimes hard to find Mr. Color leveling thinner. Use the same ratio as the Mr. Color.

Great job Matt!!! Thanks for the tutorial.

Thanks kind sir one word you said might have solved my issue. Bad!!! My clear could be to old rather than using going to pick up some fresh. Thanks again

I worked for NAPA for 20 years and I never thought to use this stuff. I sold it all the time too. I am going to pop over to my old store and use my discount to get some. I am tired of my old methods. Thanks Matt.

Nice concise video. It should be mentioned that 2K is very toxic and proper chemical masks and gloves on both hands should be used. The arm holding the car being painted can be quickly wrapped in saran wrap to protect it as well. Keep the good stuff coming Matthew!

You’re welcome bro. Thanks for the shoutout on doing it that way.

Thanks Mattew for the tip.

Great tip with the MLT! Reducer's can sometimes have reactions with Tamiya and Mr Hobby paints, so it's good to know we can use MLT to thin out the 2K Clear.

Great information ty

Thank you!! I love how down to earth and simple you are!! And I'm like you. I'm always looking for the easy money saving route to get to the point! I plan on in the future checking out your 3d prints.

Nice tip.. Thanks for sharing.

Came to watch the mixing, but got distracted by the old school flat blade screwdriver 😂

Great thanks for sharing 👍

Great video 👍🏿

I have yet to shoot 2K thru my airbrush so this was very helpful! Thank you very much! I've been using 2K in a raddle can from Eastwood automotive. Good stuff! It's relatively new stuff. It doesn't go bad like it's predecessor.

Great tutorial

Interesting.

Thanks for the info Matt, I wanted to try it but was not sure of the steps.

I am speechless..Your taking real automobile clearcoat and hardner and mix and matching hobby paint colors and thinner ..And you wonder why you have fisheyes in your Cyclone paint color??

Thank You, I Put in an order want to try 2K.

That stuff I really love and there is no way you can screw it up if you can bake a cake you can mix this clear!😂😂😂

Great video mate

Great tutorial! What do you use to clean your airbrush? Thanks for sharing.

I struggle with painting panel lines. Yours always look good. Can you do a video on that? Thank you for making educational videos.

Good tutorial😊

Great video! I've been tempted to try a 2K clear but I've been hesitant since it has a tendency to run or pool if applied too heavy. Being a clear it seems it would be hard to tell until it's too late.

I’m not sure if I asked you this question before but is there a model kit company that either makes a 1932 Ford model B or a Hudson Essex super6? They are both really pretty cars. I would like to have kits of them in my collection.

My dad had those screwdrivers and passed the on to me. Too bad I broke most of them!

Nice 😅

Matthew, how do I get ahold of the chrome plated cups for the Neoeco airbrush? I have one, and I’ve tried to find the cups that you have for it with no luck. Thanks man. By the way, your builds are coming out fantastic lately. I’ve been watching your videos for quite a while and watched your models get better and better.

Hi Matt did you get my package it says it was deliverd

Thers no different between hobby chemicals and real car paint and chemicals thinners reducers thers only a hand full of solvents period just smaller containers

Urethane Reducer is what you need to properly thin 2k with. Dont mix hobby and auto products like that.
