The Best High-Performance DIY Budget Clearcoat

[@steelerdude1967]

This is what I bought to do my truck, also bought that brand of primer. First time ever painting so I’ve watched a bunch of your videos! Bought 3 guns for each application. Plus a bunch of supplies that I needed. Tack cloth, paint prep, sandpaper, glass cleaner, microfiber cloths. I was happy with the primer and the paint I put on. I did 4 coats of red paint. When came time to clear coat I thought I had the gun set right according to instructions on the can. Well after spraying the inside of the tailgate it was leaving like tiny air bubbles. 😳 Well reaching out to others I was told my psi was to low, needed to try 30psi coming out of the gun. So I started on the underside of the fenders and once I started it was night & day difference!! So thankful for your help !!! 👍🏻😁

[@tripleeathletics]

Funny you posted this, Because we have been using this clear for a LONG Time! And YES, It really does do a great job, and lasts very very well…

[@johnsalvatore97]

This is my #1 selling clear, super cost effective price to performance. Another great one is legacy clear.

[@gmc412]

Great clear for the money. Been using fc720 for awhile have a small collision shop. Haven’t had no complaints years down the road holds up nice.I spray three coats doesn’t matter if it’s a complete or repair. It’s my go to clear the price is right for the set up. I’m not new to this used many different products. It will and does cut and buff nice if needed. First coat coverage second medium wet third wet. Each coat I increase pressure. That’s what works for me lays right down.Brian’s a good teacher one thing about painting can always learn more. If you get tunnel vision most likely you’ll be stuck with bad habits.

[@victorbelmares2722]

Fixing to paint a front bumper medium silver little lighter than charcoal grey do you think the fc720 will hold up for 10 years on a bumper I've been using the fc720 for 3 year's

[@mikeammargon6847]

i paint in my yard and thats the only clear i use and i love it... usually go 710 on roof, trunks and hoods for the fast dry to speed up dry time and help stop dust from landing in clear... 720 on sides just for a good flow out..... so far so good.

[@marcuswhite1403]

I used to love using the FC720 because of how easy it was to spray and how it shines, but noticed that over time it dies back and looks dull over time. It mainly did it on darker vehicles. I had a black Altima that I did some work on and a year later the customer wrecked it again. The car still looked good because it mainly sat under the garage. It was another black Altima that I worked on and a year later the customer wrecked it again and it was dull. I know that car sits out in the sun a lot. I've learned that they came out with an FC740, which I was thinking that would be a HS clear. I called their tech support to get more info on it and even he told me that none of those clears hold up well to UV rays.

[@jamesofallthings3684]

Yup it's useless trash. Looks great when it goes on. Oh and it's not from the sun. It's just what the clear does.

Literally my go-to clear, Always have FC710 stocked, GTI Pro Lite 1.3, 2 Wet coats, Hand slick between coats, Done.

[@robh3267]

I've used the Acme clears before and I for the most part preferred the 720 as it just seems to level out a little better, I've never really cared for fast hardener in any brand as it just doesn't flow and level as well, but for the money the Acme stuff is hard to beat, I do recommend for painters to stick with one or two brands so you can get familiar with how it performs and that helps cut down on unwanted suprises and one of the most important steps when you do start laying down the clear, and I always hear you mention it, is watch the material as your laying it down and make adjustments in technique and or gun settings to obtain the best results, and if you don't paint a lot spray a test panel first.

[@Titans2138]

Aw man, you're blowing up my spot. I love this clear. I just wet sanded and buffed the last car I painted with this clear to a mirror finish and I didn't have any sand throughs. I hope they don't raise the price or sell out of this stuff because of this video.

[@BearBudgetgarage]

Speedokote has a lot of DIY friendly clears. Many were designed for mobile use which means fast drying/potentially less dust settling in for smaller jobs. Price on most is also DIY friendly and easily as good or better than Finish one in my opinion

[@Kyle7K]

This clear was a game changer for me when I found it at the advice of a local NAPA mechanic. Suddenly the chances of runs dropped drastically, dry spots or other weirdness declined. Feels good to spray and is very predictable. Other budget brands I used sprayed like water and if that happens, you're gonna have a bad time. I was recently equally impressed by some of the speedokote super fast clears. 100% would recommend. My paint cabinet is packed with Finish 1 and Speedokote.

@Kyle 7K which clear? They have a good selection

[@Kyle7K]

@@2koolforyou88 I used the glamour production clear. what I really liked was that if you are even reasonably good at laying clear, chances of runs are so little. Spray it wet and as you see it on the surface when you spray it is how it's going to be when it dries. Unless you realllllllly mess up. really eliminates some of the guess work on how much a clear will flow out and that fine line between laying flat or running and ruining the job. The quick drying time was great at minimizing junk that may float into the clear as it sets in a less than perfect environment, and the gloss was right up there with anything else I've used. Used it on about half of a black car and the car was sprayed, unmasked and outside within 2 hours.

[@the1whoknocks275]

Could I possibly use speedokote base coat with this wherein Williams clear??

Man Brian you and i agree on a lot from paint, regulators, to clears. I have been using Acme FC720 high solids and FC740 for a long time for budget jobs. For a sherwins Williams product its surprisingly very good and for the price much better than their Dimension Clear. I saw Acme has an FC770 high solids Euro Clear now too that comes in euro style cans (5.0Liter clear, 2.5Liter catalyst) but i never tried it before.

Yep I used FC720 last fall with the FH611 Fast Hardener. No one recommends the fast hardener but it was all that was left at Sherwin Williams and it was fine since temps were pretty cool in the upper 60s. I put a heater next to the panel and it kept it reasonably warm. This stuff came out great.

[@routeddown66]

Ive been working with 720 in a mom and pop shop. It works nice for apot repairs and multipanel with the 612. However i reqlly need to try it with the 613 and or lower temps. For an overall i am getting a fair amount of orange peel beyond what id like after 2 coats. Wondering if applying a 3rd coat with a splash of reducer kicks the costs up to what id be spending on a better clear that lays flatter and smoother in 2 coats and less time. Just some thoughts. But so far not bad clear, i either need to fine tune it or maybe get something that isnt "diy level"

I bought a 5 pack of sprayaway glass cleaner at home depot. I love 710, its always sold out at napa paint store but managed to get a gallon. I paint at home and have a Pomeranian dog outside with long ass hair. I blow the driveway with leaf blower. The clear dried in 30 minutes but found some dog hair stuck to it. It didn't get absorbed by clear, it just wiped away. After 24 hours i tried sanding out the dirt nibs but noticed the clear was still soft, the sand paper wont even cut. Have to give it a few more days. Buffed out good with turtlewax one and done.

You should be fine spraying urethane clear over alkyd enamel, but wait 3 days for the solvents to flash out of the paint before clearing it. If you wait 5 days, you might need to sand the vehicle before clearing, because you won't have much chemical adhesion.

I was curious to see what you would think about possibly using FC770 as a replacement for the FC720. I’ve recently started doing multiple panels at a time, not my usual 3 panels or less. I have the most trouble with ”complete” paint jobs. By the time I get to the other side I get overspray on the panel I started with.

The factory paint on it lasted 23 years, the last 12 have been outside with no garage. It's a 2k S10 in Olympic White. The paint has not failed yet. It just has nicks and dings and is due. Are there any paints and clears that can be used to get the same durability? Cost is not a factor. Having to do it again in 5 years will be far more expensive than paying for good products.

What if you skip the base coat? Like if there’s still some paint, I suppose in that case he wouldn’t be sanding down first.

Also , what is the water based cleaner ? Sprayaway works well I have found as well . Just starting a shop , been watching you for a while and excited to do my own shop !

Brian, I have a Platinum White Accord and an idiot backed into it. Why does the flake in these new cars look so big? it doesn't look like earlier pearls, etc..I love it, but want to know what to ask for at supply..

After you clear coat yr vehicle with this brand how many years will it last before fading or peeling? Some brands will last two years while others I heard can last 10 years. Under normal weather circumstances. And no wax protection,
