I saw a link to Paintforcars.com in this post and I went to and saw this clear and was wondering if any body has used it and how it work out and also how well does it wetsand and buff

 

They sell two clears. I forget which one is the better, I'll have to check my garage in the morning but. The clear isn't bad. Out of a 1.4mm tip it shoots evenly. A wetsand later and you have a real nice job.

This is after drying, before wet sanding. The paint is also made by hawthorne.
It's dirt cheap and shoots as good as the PPG I used to buy at the local 'screw ya over a barrel' paint supply for twice as much.

Hey for $74 bucks thats a steal for a good clear how hard is it to buff after it has been wet sanded and what grit paper did you finish with

 

IVe had nothing but good luck with their paint, it what I used when I paint the Bird several years ago. Check out their stuff on ebay too [where I found them], they sometimes put up nice deals.

 

Im glad to see you have good luck with it and Im going to try it but how can ask for a nicer deal then $74 bucks for a gallon of clear

 

Ill let you know when I find it.

If paint with color n flake can be $40 a gal, why not clear

 

Cool Im with you I dont know why it has to cost so much the base coat for my car is $290 bucks a quart just for the base and it will take 3 quarts and then clear witch is right at $300 dollors a gallon

 

A couple local counties Air Resources Boards have banned all the old paints and only allow the use of water base.
So now with all the shops that the paint stores can't sell anything else to and the use of HVLP spray guns using less paint I think they jack up the prices to make up for the losses!

Has anyone used the paint that Summit sells? Know what brand it is? I have been curious to try it. Its usually like around $100 for a gallon of paint and hardener to do a single stage.

 

Someone told me it was Duplicolor but I dont know for sure if it is I dont wont no part of it

 

I would want no part of that as well.
Maybe one day if I don't find out for sure I'll get some and let you all know (provided its in at least small print on the label)

 

I gave them a try even there wax and grease remover comes in at the bottom of the barrel

 

The stuff with Summits name on it of the for certain Dupli-color?

 

No, it's either Kirker or HOK.

I dont know for sure some body told me that

 

After doing looking around it is Kirker a brand that I have never used

 

hey, i paint a lot of cars, also air brush work and adding base coat to the clear wont help! it could cause your clear to seperate, i have seen it happen, 5 good coats of clear and a good wet sanding will make it look really deep. good luck.
