How To Clear Coat A Car - Roberlo High Solids Clear Coat Review

[@satamanschmidt3428]

Roberlo makes good stuff. Their best product in their clear line is Kronx 610. This will not work well in a Binks model 7 but works great with a high efficiency gravity gun like a Tekna Pro-lite with a TE20 aircap and a 1.2 or 1.3 tip. Works great in a SATA X5500 RP with a 1.2 or 1.3. Best gun for the Kronx 610 is the Iwata WS400 Supernova with a 1.3mm. Roberlo for your information is from Spain.

You don't know about. The lifetime on this clear

[@andrewbodey5025]

Can one use standard reducer or is it Roberto specific?

[@satamanschmidt3428]

Urethane grade reducer from any reputable brand works fine for me. @@andrewbodey5025

Pete you've got start your ad revenue. It'd be life changing for you financially. And if anyone deserves it. Its you man.

[@samsook3]

I've been waiting so long for a roberlo clear review!! Thank you my friend Pete. South Africa saying hi!

[@samsook3]

And it's the same clear that I've been using. Thank you so much pete

[@birdmanblues]

We use their products at work. The b500 is a universal hardener, for primers. Their cleats have separate hardeners from very slow to fast. The global 6000 probably the best clear they make. And you can rub it the next day. We have had some issue where if you lay it on really thick it gets some die back issues. But yeah their stuff is really good.

[@jamesrene7509]

Roberlo maxi fill body filler is some of the best filler I ever used, lays nice, no pin holes, cuts like butter and half the price of rage gold and 3m Platinum

[@jamesrene7509]

Sanding wise you wouldn't notice the difference, just make sure you get maxifill . May even cut a little better. No need to put 40 grit or cheese grader on it

[@musclecarmaniacs9789]

The Binks #7, my best friend.

[@HomeGrownPyro1]

Roberlo makes some great body fillers too that are easy to sand

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Thanks much for a great vid and product review. Hope all is well in Moab. Relocating, rebuilding and finding honest, reliable suppliers and products is never easy. On top of all the changes , dealing with a new climate is definitely a true challenge. You have my respect. Wishing you and yours good health and long life.

[@georgepetrillo7316]

Saw the Binks #7 siphon feed gun. Those are great guns. I have one. I use it for all my automotive paint projects. That gun atomizes paint like no one's business. Lays down paint very good. The one I use was bought in 1982 and I still use it today. I bought a second one a couple years ago for parts at a swap meet.

[@deankay4434]

Pete, your videos on product, technique even taping are save in my private “Saved” KZbin folders in 6 categories. You are very helpful to a mechanical tech, not a painter. Going for a nice “TEE” shirt soon. Thanks for all of your work. I maybe having Amon at color tech ship product to me when ready. I will support that small business! Blessings to SWRNC, Moab, UT.

[@obclark259]

I bet youll fall in love with southern polyurethane. Free shipping and the best epoxy primer ive used. There universal clear is top notch also.

[@nicholasgreenough567]

Roberlo Kronox 610 UHS, use it in my paintshop and it's awesome

[@Sarfrozkhan]

can you explain something more

[@davehaas6830]

Also a VW Bug is one of the hardest cars to paint like that as well Pete 👍🏻

[@stephenwhite5444]

Great review! What would be cool is to compare a bunch of brands on the same hood and see which are most durable against chipping, scratching, etc.

[@rong4189]

But, siphon guns DO suck, by their very nature, they’re designed to suck, they sucked back then and still suck today! lol

[@alanandroseyadventures9959]

Are you still using this clear today if not what clear do you use now

[@aarondalton2223]

Pete, I use the shop line 630 clear. I'm in wv and it's the best for the price as far as I'm concerned.

[@upandabove567]

i use the same model 7 for the past 30 years great gun period

[@briankerschke5306]

I made the mistake one time trying to buff clear too soon before it fully cured. It got all messed up and turned cloudy. It was not this one but a different brand 4 to 1 clear. Now I always spray some on a test panel and I always wait a minimum of 3 days before attempting to buff

[@federicorodriguez1229]

Was wondering if you have tried out the tamco clear

[@bradgibson4459]

Have you ever done a hardness test on these clear coats after they have truly hardened. Hit a high solid ppg product with a wooden, rubber or steel mallet and show the results after you have pulled and polished the area. I have never used the product you are using in this video but I have used ppg products and was always impressed with how tough and the abuse it would take.

[@daleshowers2691]

Montana Big Sky also makes some great products, especially their DTM primers. I've only used their spot/panel clearcoat but had excellent luck with it. The Roberlo body fillers are awesome.

[@336motorsportsllc]

I’ve been using Roberlo and I love all there stuff primer fillers and clears I love the kronx610

[@christrainor1129]

A lot of people are commenting about Tamco and I would really like to see you give it a try sometime too. I think their flagship clear is the 2104 which they also have a slower version of (2105) for hot and humid climates. They also have a 2021 which I believe is their version of PPGs 2021. Anyway, a small American company out of Virginia, check em out. The Roberlo clear looks great, might be worth sticking with but it’s always fun trying different stuff. I started using Tamco this week, so far only two small jobs, I used their 2 hour clear (7600-I don’t have a booth) and I’m pretty impressed.

[@sharebear1129]

The last place I worked. We just started selling this. Glad to see a review. Thanks Pete. Minnie ❤

[@andybussa1323]

Is it any good,just got a kit

[@warrenlewis3977]

I'm in Florida where can I find a distributor??

[@zanaga1901]

Saw a video Tamco Clear never used it though the store went to buy auto paint products last year was Auto Value they have Nason products I got the flat black sealer last year it cost like 160 but never used their basecoat. I used different clear but wanna start using high solids clear and fast speed. Tamco looks pretty good for clear but lately when get paint got the Starfire paint from Paint For Cars site. I don't know the best fast clear speed paint to use though. I used Speedkote clear too.

[@charliejohnson5544]

I used it one time and love it can’t get it Here in the Bahamas

[@frankanderson328]

Pete give tamco a try sometime. I tried the hi build 5311 and its nice.... Other products be great reviews too

[@deankay4434]

Henry Ford used “Varnish” too, as long a you wanted a high gloss black. Other colors available in 30 years. (Just having fun) Urethane binders are mostly all the same, it is the man made additives they add or leave out, that makes the product. I have a buddy from high school who worked on coatings for nuclear submarines as they where under the water for a year or much longer, if needed. It’s like “Anti-Fouling” coatings at the waterline on boats. It acts like an “Exfoliant”. Algae and Barnacles can reduce to speeds by 12% per hundred foot. Best of luck.

[@DWARSCO]

If you like the 2020. Try using Spi The euro. Or better yet the universal clear !!!!!!

[@c.thompson9771]

If you put a soft, wide rubber ring under your canister, makes putting it down 'non-tippy.' Lol! Busting your rig on the concrete, less of a thingy. Love your work!

Pete have you ever used speedakote clear. I buff everything thats in my shop and it buffs like butter. we have a salesman come by every week to sell the roberlo. I have had such good luck with speedakote I think im going to stay with it. it does not die back. buffs like butter. lays down slick. I paint with a binks 7 and a iwata. you paint it like you want it to look. 2 wet coats your done. 3 if you got to buff. its called smr42. have a good day bud look forward to seeing your videos

You may wet or dry sand. Easier to buff like that.

Yes, Pea Green maybe buy it is always the customers choice. Besides, going in the way-back machine, Pete started on VW’s. Have a good one!

Review TAMCO. Its not very often when you have a question or concern, that you get to talk to the Owner directly. You get the absolute best and highest quality paint products for a fraction of the price of the big ripoff corporations.

[@lonestarlows]

That looks alot like the shop line jc6700 European clear. Pete u should give southern poly urethane a try. Their epoxy is top of the line. And its sandable like a 2k primer. Their production clear shouldn't be called production. Try them out. Free shipping and 100% made in USA

If it's in the clear, it may wet sand out. If it's in the color, you'll have the feather them out with sanding and respray the area.

The best paint job is one big run. Heavy and wet which is what these guns do. Hvlp, which I use and learned on, is meant to save paint and be more efficient with less air. Binks makes some of the best products out there. They still have the best polyurethane foam gun 30 years later. Your comment is the same as telling Eric Clapton he would preform better with a newer acoustic than his favorite. It’s a tool, no more no less, that preforms as well as the person using it.
