[@SigurdDecroos]

Nice video! Oh, about Vallejo Shifters, be sure to use a gloss black as undercoat (Vallejo gloss black primer or Golden High Flow Carbon Black). Apply the shifter in thin layers with the airbrush for best results. If applied on a light gloss color, you get a nice pearl effect.

Great Video! For alclad chrome, you want to first use the alclad aqua gloss clear and then use the 2k. That will give the best chrome finish. Saw this on Gordan Tarpley's channel.

Very cool. I’ve been using 2K for about a year. Bought a quart from Amazon and they sent me a gallon😃. I love MCW paints/ that’s all I use on my race cars. I just started buying their enamels. Love they way they spray and how fast they dry, especially with the hardener.

[@jerryrichards8172]

Nice to see another modeler that buys paint from the automotive paint suppliers. The products are the best and they can make very small amount of products for us model builders pluss they can mix ww2 or any military colors. Pluss you can add metal flake into your clear coat. Dont forget you can get true candy apple colors.

[@jerryrichards8172]

When i shoot these kinds of gloss coats on my models or small car parts i put them inside the clear plastic cake containers with a few breather holes drilled in to help with the chemicals cook off. Keeps your model dust free while drying.

SOOOO much better quality and durability I am getting now.

[@tomdelaney19464]

Thank you so much for this. I know you've talked about 2k clears previously . I am extremely leery on trying things that produce odors when using, mainly because much like you I have parrots. CAG(see my pic)and an Amazon mealy. They do not handle odors and aerosol's to well ,so when I see you using certain products it gives me some ease when using. I also take extra measures in insuring their safety. So I have to ask about the smells(again) that you might have . Again from an avian lover to another....Thank you

[@barbatosrex9473]

My birds are upstairs away from my area. I always take precautions with them. No Fabreze or certain products. I've raised birds for 40 years. This paint is very strong as it's an actual auto paint. But the hobby versions are much less caustic then this. I would go with a brand like splash or Modo if you want to play it safe.

This is really informative and well done. I love how much information you put into these videos. What are your thoughts on tinting the clear coats with alcohol ink to make candy paints?

[@barbatosrex9473]

I haven't thought of that but I will try that out

[@danieljanssen4580]

The MOST IMPORTANT thing you forgot to discus is how dangerous 2K urethane is! This stuff absorbs into your body they your eyes, hair follicles and skin. You really should have told your viewer they should be using a good quality full face respiratory and gloves with a long sleeve shirt. I do not like using this stuff when I spray in my home shop and I have the largest Pace spray booth which is a good quality booth. This stuff should not be sprayed in your house. Without a doubt this is an incredible product as far as being durable BUT I think the health risks should be discussed before you tell everyone to use this!

[@robertpowell8362]

Food for thought... i paint mostly rc cars and almost completely createx paints. What i have started doing is making my own pearls and colorshifts for dirt cheap with exceptional results. I buy 5 gram sample packs of pearl pigments from kp pigments from thier website. 5 grams costs 2.00 to 4.00 a packet and can make about a GALLON. I mix them depending on use with 4030 balancing clear, 5601 transparent base, or the UVLS clears. The colorshifting pigments are amazing. Would love to see a test about it.

[@mml3140]

Does that make the paint viscous or clumpy? Would definitely love to try that.

[@dantrevino4166]

can you try Dr. Ph. Martin's Iridescent Calligraphy Color on clear plastic? I want to be able to tint my model car windshields. Thanks for the excellent content, so far!

[@MedskiPurnamski]

I find that to use polyurethane paints such as these you really need to test it out on a junk plastic part first because some brands of automotive paint actually eats through the plastic despite using model paint thinners like Mr. Hobby. Also I've had issues when spraying certain types of hobby lacquer paint on top of the 2K coating, where it would react strangely to it and ended up ruining the whole paint job. This is the case using Jumpwind colors, I haven't tested it with Mr. Hobby or Tamiya yet. So I really recommend that the 2k coating should be the very last layer to apply.

[@mckerrowsiding]

do the vertical rack design it will use the least desk space. great video !!!!

That's what I'm thinking of going with. Desk space is a big deal to me and I'm going to try and design them with that in mind

[@orakeljoe9611]

hi there! informative content!!! I've got some uhs (ultra high solids) 2k clear in my workshop and it is impossible to spray with an airbrush. Too thick. Maximum amount of reducer is 5%. Even with 5% reducer not sprayable. 0.5 needle. when adding more reducer to the paint / hardener mix it is sprayable BUT - less shine afterwards. Huge difference in the gloss. Should I use another 2k clear - not one which says to be an "ultra high solids"?

[@danzo5521]

What health effects can it cause

[@donttellhimpike2043]

Most motor and building trades use 2K paint which, if using an isocyanate paint, increases the probability of developing asthma by a multiple of 90. Also, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reports that every year around 50 sprayers are diagnosed with isocyanate asthma and most have to leave the industry. Even at very low exposure levels, attacks can still be triggered.

[@barbatosrex9473]

@@danzo5521 keep in mind, to even consider getting any of the side effects you'd have to be a spray painter by profession, spraying it every day in large amounts without protection. As a hobby, painting it in tiny amounts on small pieces once every few weeks while wearing protection yu should be fine

[@Wolfox85]

hey there Rex! I wanted to ask when spraying 2k clear did you have any problems with orange peel? And if so how did you fit it?

[@hhaste]

I could justify one of those smaller 60ml or whatever size the small kit bottles are, for satin, for sure. I'd never use more than a fraction of one of those for that but 32:56 looks incredible

[@barbatosrex9473]

I did release my own line of 2K clears including Satin, and in 2oz bottles. I did a full review of them here a couple months ago.

[@lucasluzzi9287]

Awesome video! Should I thin this even it doesn't say at the datasheet (using a 0.8mm airbrush)? Also, can I just wait until the acrylic paint is fully dried and apply the clear coat? Or should I do something in between?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Doesn't need thinning. You can clear as soon as the acrylic dries.

[@DLxFC]

I would really like to see a new video showing more in-depth the air pressures and needle tests with 2k paints and clear. In this case, spraying thin wet coats with no orange peel, and not filling in corners and details. When I spray clear on masters for mold making it is crucial just to make the surface glossy and glass like, but there are so many variables. It would be a good idea to thin the clear coat because you have to remember the suggestions are geared for 1.2 mm spray guns at 40-60 psi. I spray my clear coat 4:1:4 in my iwata 0.3 at 20-40 psi depending on the application which is usually recessed details. I’m still trying to figure out the best set up to get ZEROA orange peel on the detailed parts. Larger surfaces aren’t as much of a problem because like auto body you can wet sand and polish clear coat peel. But some areas you can’t do spraying right the first time is crucial

[@NinthDensity]

Excellent video!!!! Does the 2k just dry naturally!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yes it does. And fairly quick too

[@Matthew_Dubroq]

Another great vid. Is the 2k sandable? Like after flossing over decals and then light sanding to level?

[@barbatosrex9473]

T Yes, I believe 2K is sandable.

[@joseruiz-agosto3115]

just throwing out an idea, feel free to ignore it. but if you put tape on half of the spoon before you put the clear down you could remove it and show a close up before/after when using it. especially for the black spoons

That's a good one. I am keeping one spoon as is and using it for comparison but taping will give us a closer look at the two. I will tape a few of them

You might want to put a big safety warning about Isocyanate clear coats and how potentially lethal they are and that they will get into your body via membranes ( as in you need to have a full face shield with proper filters and fresh air etc) a spray booth isn't gonna do squat against it. Not sure if those 2ks were the non isocyante ones

[@barbatosrex9473]

They're non Isocyanate. I wear a mask. Also spraying small parts for 3 minutes isn't the same as spraying an entire car for an hour. My family business was spray painting for 25 years. Giant spray booths, giant ovens. 50 gallon drums of thinners and acetone. I do know the ins and outs so to speak. I'll do a video of my mask that I prefer soon. Thanks for watching 👍

I think a followup video on this is warranted to talk about the safety aspect of using these types of paints.

Really appreciate the test though, I've been thinking about trying it myself to get a more even finish for chrome on 3d-printed models.

Great video! I'm wondering with the alclad chrome, if you use the aqueous clear and then the 2k if the chrome effect wouldn't change. I've run into the same issue with reflective spray enamels when you clear them they go dull. But I did notice when you did your alclad chrome video that when you used the clear aqueous, that the chrome sheen was unaffected. If that worked it would be great to have that durability and a really shiny chrome.

[@sfuzzolo]

It's what gordontarpley does. Long story short he documented in the years the process to finding an ideal way to do a really shiny and deep gold finish on his C3PO costume props and found that the best course of action is to spray a varnish like Aquagloss or Liquitex High Gloss between the Alclad and the 2K varnish, the acrylic forms a barrier for the Alclad Chrome, protecting it from the lacquer-melting solvent in the 2K clear

[@BennyCFD]

So....Thank you Mr Rex for another fine informative video. I've been thinking about trying some automotive 2K for a while. A few thoughts. I'm sure the smaller model sized 2Ks are just smaller amounts of the automotive 2K. And for the price people paying way too much for the price per volume. You have shown in your other videos you can get a very shiny finish from Acrylic Polyurethanes, so what's the advantage of these 2K clears. You mentioned durability, but 99.9% of the time Gundam/car and other models will be on a shelf or in a display case so there should be no real need for durability. Now that you've tried the 2K are you switching from using Acrylic Polyurethanes. I'm going to get some just to see how it works.

[@barbatosrex9473]

I would use this for my car kits. I have a ton of them and this was actually a cheaper way the clear them. Also, some of my paints, in particular metalizer colors which rub off super easy need a durable coating and that's why I got the satin too

Hey buddy, great to hear from you. It's a standard Alclad Gloss Black Base, then the Alclad Chrome then the 2K Clear.

Here I used a GSI Creos Procon Boy 290, it comes with a fan cap 0.5mm. Grex airbrushes also comes with a fan cap

[@OldManDiecast]

On the tamiya paint holder can it handle the createx 2 ounce bottles?

[@barbatosrex9473]

It does but it's a bit harder to see the color

[@coffinguy2680]

Will the 2k spray out of a 0.3mm airbrush? If not, what thinner can I use to thin the clear.

[@barbatosrex9473]

It should but if it needs thinning use a urethane thinner

[@mylesjohnson7351]

Could you review automotive paints

[@barbatosrex9473]

I did a video a few months ago on painting your car kits with real auto paints

[@TrevorHutchison]

Does the 2k auto clear have a thicker coating than a model-specific 2k? Or are they essentially the same quality?

[@barbatosrex9473]

I feel they are slightly thicker but not so much as to affect the kit. But some hobby brands are close to this meaning they are just repackaged versions of this.

[@mordantly]

I noticed you didn't mention urethane reducer.. Was it reduced in the can?

[@barbatosrex9473]

This one was reduced in the can. I asked the auto place when I bought it do I need to thin it, they said nope, it's pre thinned

[@nscaledelights]

Although Im not into auto paints Im glad I stopped by to see the product announcements.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Glad you stopped by. What products are you interested in??

[@nscaledelights]

@@barbatosrex9473 I'm interested in the paint holder and your sprue holder.

[@JasonMcGuffin]

Will the 2k cause any running of panel line, or damage to waterslides/decals?

[@barbatosrex9473]

No, as long as everything is fully dry

[@DawsonSabean-me6xb]

Do you sell them airbrushes

[@dustypate2816]

What brand is the one with no label? Don’t think u mentioned it.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Same, they just didn't have quarts in stock so they poured me some from a gallon can.

[@RizaGunturPrakoso]

can we use cordless airbrush for car paint? I plan to buy cordless airbrush with 25psi max pressure, will it suffice to spray 2k paint?

[@barbatosrex9473]

As long as you use a 0.5mm needle you should be fine

[@SLICK-GLN]

Is there any special handling of the 2 K such as dont get it on your skin and breath?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Off camera I use gloves and a mask respirator. You should wear both with these paints. I'll show my gloves and mask of choice in an upcoming video

[@SLICK-GLN]

@@barbatosrex9473 watch the international hobby guy and he seems very cautious about the 2k stuff and was wondering about your handling of it.Thanks for the response and stay safe
