2K Clear Lacquer aerosol

[ADS_V6]

Hi what is the best brand to get,respraying washer blanks and wing mirrors and been told to use 2k but looks expensive

Any 2k Laquer should be fine. May react with regaular spraycans so try to get it all from the same place.

I get my best spraycan results with a light coat followed 3-5 mins later by a dust coat (hold the can far away from the job) followed by a full heavy coat 10-15 mins later.

dont hold your arm further away from the panel when applying dust coats or itll be drying by the time it hits the part youre painting. just move your arm quicker

Why would you dust coat lacquer?

Have you got any experience with this over any of the VHT paints? Looking to do my Brembo's but the VHT clear doesn't leave the best of finishes

I've used vht wrinkle red and high temp but for gloss nothing comes close to body shop quality except the tin listed above

I was asking if that 2k lacquer will be ok on top of the VHT caliber paint they do?

it wouldn't be recommeded, but would probably be ok for normal road use. 2K paint is much more resilient than normal paint

Your best off just using 2K in the colour you want. no point VHT 1K then 2K lacquer on top

As in heat resistance as well? Bearing in mind my brakes see a lot of heat from trackdays and aggressive pads

I wouldn't like to say with aggressive use, but can't see what else would be better. You may be able to get high temperature 2K paint in the colour you want, but i would happily use 'normal' 2 pack on calipers, it bonds really well too much better adhesion

You can get industrial 2 pack paint aswell (depending on the colour you want) i done the wheels on my track car with that in dark grey, i clean them with truck acid undiluted and they still look good as new
