Clear Coats

Clear Coat

Clear Coat is a transparent varnish sprayed over automotive paint to protect the color. This is why a clear coat is also called a varnish or clear coat. Because the clear coat is clear, the color of car paint will not discolor. In addition to ultimate protection, the clear coat determines the gloss level of the color underneath. You therefore have the choice of a clearcoat with high gloss, matt and silk gloss effect. At CROP you can buy professional clear coat in:

2K clear coat

2K clear coat is a clear coat that consists of 2 components. The two components are the clear coat and hardener, also called activator. By mixing the hardener into the clear coat, the varnish becomes incredibly hard and the clear coat is scratch resistant. In addition, a 2K clear coat is resistant to UV sunlight, gasoline, diesel, brake fluid, oil, acids and other chemical liquids. This makes a 2K clear coat the best to use on a car because it protects the color from stone chips, discoloration, yellowing, scratches, salt and dirt.

Clear Coat car, how do you use it?

Are you asking yourself, a clear coat for car, how do you use it? Thanks to our generation long experience as car paint experts, we are happy to explain to you, how to use clear coat on the car to get the best result. Whether you want to spray the clear coat on the car with a spray can or prefer to use a paint sprayer to spray the clear coat, there are some tips when using clear coat on the car that you should always apply for professional results. Read our 5 tips below.

• Tip 1: Good preparation is half the battle. Before you start using clearcoat on the car, the surface must be smooth, clean, grease-free and dust-free. If you do this properly, it will save a lot of time later in the process on repair work.
• Tip 2: Always work in an area that is windless, dust-free and clean. A clear coat is clear transparent which makes its use very critical. A well-ventilated room free of wind, dust and dirt will result in better results.
• Tip 3: Apply thin coats during use. A clearcoat used in evenly thin layers dries tighter, smoother and more beautiful. Using thin layers of clearcoat also prevents sags!
• Tip 4: Make sure the spray distance is between 15 and 20cm from the object for best results. If you spray too close, it can quickly become too thick. If you use the varnish too far away, it will create a distribution that is uneven. In short, use the right distance!
• Tip 5: Last but not least, maintain a pause between coats of clear coat. Give the clear coat enough time to evaporate and dry before applying another coat of clear coat. This will give you better adhesion and it will dry nicer.

How many coats of clear coat do you spray?

As car paint specialists, we recommend at least 2 coats of clearcoat for the best result. This gives you enough layer thickness so that the clear coat will protect the color. Apply a first thin coat, also called a "pick coat," which provides adhesion. After this, spray 2 full coats of clear coat, giving the clear coat sufficient body.
