FAQs

Is this a single-component product?

No, this is a 2K (two-component) acrylic clearcoat that requires the addition of a hardener to initiate the curing process.

What is the primary advantage of a VHS clearcoat?

Very High Solid (VHS) clearcoats contain a higher percentage of film-forming solids, meaning you achieve a thicker, more durable finish with fewer coats compared to low-solid alternatives.

Can this be used for airbrushing?

This product is designed for professional spray guns used in automotive refinishing. Airbrushing may not provide the necessary volume or pressure to achieve proper atomization.

How long does it take to cure?

Curing time varies significantly based on temperature and hardener speed; always refer to the specific technical data sheet included with your hardener.

Is this safe for use on plastics?

While it can be used on properly primed and prepared automotive plastics, ensure you use the correct plastic adhesion promoter and primer system first.

Does it need to be thinned?

Typically, the mix includes a hardener and sometimes a small percentage of thinner. Follow the ratio instructions exactly as provided on the packaging.

Troubleshooting

Clearcoat appears to have 'orange peel' texture

Check your spray gun settings, increase air pressure, or slightly reduce the viscosity with the recommended thinner to improve leveling.

Finish is running or sagging

You are applying too much material in a single pass; slow down the application speed or increase the distance between the gun and the panel.

Poor gloss or hazy appearance

Ensure the shop environment is not too humid and that you are using the correct temperature-grade hardener for your current workshop conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior depth and gloss retention
  • High solid content reduces solvent waste
  • Excellent resistance to environmental degradation
  • Provides a long-lasting, rock-hard finish

Cons

  • Requires professional application equipment
  • Strict mixing ratios must be followed for optimal results
  • Higher viscosity may be difficult for beginners to spray

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve professional results, ensure that the substrate is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and free of dust before application. The KLAR 525 must be mixed with the appropriate hardener at the manufacturer-recommended ratio; using the wrong ratio or incorrect thinner will compromise the cross-linking process and final durability. Always store the lacquer in a cool, dry place and ensure the lids are tightly sealed to prevent moisture contamination. Clean all spray equipment immediately after use with a high-quality solvent to prevent the catalyzed clearcoat from hardening inside your spray gun nozzles.
