Product Information

Full details

The U-Pol System 20 HS Super Crystal Clear Coat 2:1 is designed for professional automotive refinishers and serious DIY enthusiasts who require a high-gloss, durable finish on vehicle paintwork. Its primary benefit is providing exceptional clarity and superior color matching, particularly for challenging tones like light silver metallics. A significant caveat is that this is a professional-grade chemical product, requiring proper respiratory protection, a well-ventilated spray booth or environment, and precise mixing to achieve the intended results.

FAQs

Can I use this clear coat over water-based basecoats?

Yes, it is compatible with most standard water-based automotive basecoat systems when properly prepared.

How long is the pot life after mixing?

The pot life is typically around 1-2 hours at 20 degrees Celsius, though this varies based on temperature and hardener speed.

Do I need to sand between coats?

Generally, no. If you are within the recoat window, you can apply additional coats without sanding. If the window has passed, you must scuff the surface to ensure adhesion.

Is this product UV resistant?

Yes, it contains high-quality UV absorbers designed to prevent yellowing and fading of the paintwork.

What safety equipment is required?

You must wear a supplied-air respirator, chemical-resistant gloves, and protective coveralls due to the isocyanates in the hardener.

Troubleshooting

Orange peel texture on the finish

Adjust the spray gun air pressure or reduce the paint viscosity slightly with a compatible thinner if allowed by technical data sheets.

Clear coat is not drying or curing

Verify the 2:1 mixing ratio and ensure the hardener was not expired; check ambient temperature, as cold conditions drastically slow curing time.

Cloudy appearance in the clear coat

Ensure there is no moisture in the air lines or spray environment; avoid spraying in high humidity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior optical clarity for a showroom shine
  • Excellent flow and leveling characteristics
  • Specifically tuned for difficult metallic colors
  • High solids content ensures a thicker, more durable film

Cons

  • Requires professional spray equipment (HVLP gun)
  • Strict environmental and safety gear requirements
  • Not suitable for casual touch-ups without proper training
  • Limited pot life once mixed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free of wax or grease. Use a high-quality degreaser before application. The 2:1 mixing ratio must be strictly followed; use a calibrated mixing cup to ensure accuracy. If you are using an HVLP spray gun, set the air pressure according to the gun manufacturer's specifications for high-solids coatings to ensure proper atomization. Once the clear coat is applied, allow it to cure in a dust-free area. Avoid washing the vehicle with harsh chemicals for at least 48 to 72 hours post-application to allow for a full chemical cure. Always store the remaining hardener in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed, as moisture exposure will cause the hardener to crystallize and become unusable.
