**Disclaimer ** By general rule 1k products do not require activators 2k products require activators You can use activators in 1k products to speed up dry times if the chemical make up is compatible. I said 1k for the high tech and tractor supply clears due to their poor quality and lack of uv protection while they are technically 2k. Ultimately do your research regardless guys to see if it's a quality product. 2k urethane clear coat has always been my choice for most paintwork. Thanks for watching!!!
howdie all! I don't mean to disagree necessarily but 1k is referring to single component coatings. Such as any coating that doesn't use a hardener. 2k is referring to 2 component coatings. So by the books 1k = no hardener/catalyst, 2k = 2 part coatings. coating + hardener/catalyst. Hardener and catalyst is two different words for the same thing. High Teck is basically a relabeled matrix product. PS ive been running my own paint and body shop for 17 years and have been painting for 25. Those are both good clears you have there for the money.
Yes just be careful with the 7000 clear coat it doesn't carry much UV protection and tends to lose its gloss after about a year the 8000 is a better quality clear so I'd go with that but they make some good products at a fair price thanks for watching!
I see videos people mixing a pigment pearl into a "Mid Coat" clear. I'm not sure what they mean by Mid Coat. It seems that a base color like a black goes down and then the mixed pearl and then a 2k clear over it all. I had wondered if something like the T.S. Clear that is not good for a top coat might be good for something like that and then covered in a 2K. I used to see things like a Gloss Masstone Base but I don't see that any more an dwonder if it is just a clear that has been renamed. I don't know much about paints but with your videos I'm gonig to get there. Thanks for great stuff for those of us that want to know.
Yeah when they say a midcoat they refer to what is considered an inner coat you can actually mix your pearls into plain binder which is what all paint is mixed in so essentially you're just spraying it in the clear liquid that paint goes in and you can get that by the gallons also
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS LOL, well I looked up paint binder and got a link to Speedkote, so far so good and then find Universal Basecoat Binder right beside is Clear Mixing Base. LOL, the plot thickens.
It all achieves the same outcome a clear base to add your pearls into rather than stacking it up with clear coat but speedokote is selling multiple products to make that money so I know that looks confusing lol
You should be ok using most any primer as long as everything is prepped properly. I would stay away from using the majic brand stuff mostly the clear because it doesn't have any uv protection. I would more so recommend using rustoleum professional paint that you get at Lowe's with acetone to reduce it and speedokote 2k clear coat as it's in the same price range that you can get it off of Amazon to keep things as cheap and simple as possible. Hope this helps thanks for watching
Yes as long as they are somewhat compatible however Rustoleum is a 1K paint and I shoot 2K urethane clear over it with zero issues so I would say if your question it do it on a small scale spray out first before you run the risk of messing up a whole car Thanks for watching
@spenceengland1915 no you want to spray it wet on wet its the exact opposite as most people would think check out my Rustoleum paint jobs tutorial you'll see what I mean ruclips.net/video/tO_OKalgEQo/видео.htmlsi=Ywf-OUNBDu6ZYJbC
The best I found for the money is finish one 2K automotive urethane high solids clear coat works great well worth the price I'll include a link Thanks for watching amzn.to/3NBdP69
You said that the 2k lasts as long as the cheaper cans, but it's much better. However, about the storage itself, I see they suggest throw the bottle after 48 hours of hardening? I know some people mention freezing it, but I don't know if that's officially recommended?
Yeah the 2K urethane especially is by far the best as far as storage life on those cans though it varies I've never tried freezing them or anything like that I usually wait a day or two and then usually throw it away but mostly I mix my own stuff if you have any other questions though feel free to ask thanks for watching
I have seen some High Teck 8000 value clear on ebay. It says its a 2k. I kind of took from this video that the High teck was just a 1k. But probably like any brand they have tiers and levels of products.
Yes the 8000 is 2K and a much better clear I use this clear the 7000 because I can get it dirt cheap and it works great for just doing tests to show everybody on the channel
I mean it's all about the same quality high-tech make some decent stuff you have to kind of watch out for it when you get into the clear coats but as far as the paints go I don't see any reason why you shouldn't use it
I have 1k spraxmax clear to use for headlights. I didn’t want to use 2k spray max because I have to trash it the same day. Will there 1k spray max work?
You don't have to trash 2k clear the same day it usually keeps for a few days but you can use the 1k the finish just won't be as good as the 2k and it won't have the added UV protection I would recommend the 2k if you want it to last thanks for watching
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS well, I do a lot headlights and normally by the next day, I can tell the difference with the can. So I rather have cans I can use in it’s entirety. Eventually I need to upgrade to a spray gun. That should fox my problems. I would just have to figure out a mobile set up for it.

Thank you for your time and consideration one more thing what ratio did you cut the paint to
70% paint 30% acetone
@whitleyautoworks. Have you every used the High Tech paints? They seem to be very affordable.
Yes just be careful with the 7000 clear coat it doesn't carry much UV protection and tends to lose its gloss after about a year the 8000 is a better quality clear so I'd go with that but they make some good products at a fair price thanks for watching!

Mr whitley hi I need some advice about painting I picked up some majic paint is it ok to use on a truck and what primer should I use with it ?
You should be ok using most any primer as long as everything is prepped properly. I would stay away from using the majic brand stuff mostly the clear because it doesn't have any uv protection. I would more so recommend using rustoleum professional paint that you get at Lowe's with acetone to reduce it and speedokote 2k clear coat as it's in the same price range that you can get it off of Amazon to keep things as cheap and simple as possible.

good job
great information, thank you
Can you spray a 2k clear over a 1k paint,
Yes as long as they are somewhat compatible however Rustoleum is a 1K paint and I shoot 2K urethane clear over it with zero issues so I would say if your question it do it on a small scale spray out first before you run the risk of messing up a whole car Thanks for watching
@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS this paint is a 1k without a catalyst. I'm guessing you'd have to let it set up for a few weeks
@spenceengland1915 no you want to spray it wet on wet its the exact opposite as most people would think check out my Rustoleum paint jobs tutorial you'll see what I mean

So if you were going to do motorcycle tanks motorcycle fenders the rattle can 2 case probably the way to go no mess clean up is that correct
2 k......whoops. Lol
By the way great video
Yes that would be easiest way to get smaller projects like that done👍
great vid thanks dude.
Great content!! Thank you for sharing!!
I need a clear that lasts and doesn't result in fryup.

@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS man look at the typos! Let me clear this up for some folks who may be interested to actually read it🤣
Do u have ant brand/product suggestions for a 2k ceramic clear? Having trouble finding many offerings
Not gonna lie I haven't messed with them much yet
Can you spray 2k clear over Acrylic enamel
Yes
great video ....what are your thoughts on the high tech paints like the ebony black ..?..im looking to make my own black cherry paint....
There decent enough paints right on par with most entry level enamel paints like speedokote or nason fast dry
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS ok i dont want to spend an arm an leg for paint ...i was also looking at auto baun paint...what are your thoughts..?..
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS plus im going to be putting flake and pearl over the black ...
I mean it's all about the same quality high-tech make some decent stuff you have to kind of watch out for it when you get into the clear coats but as far as the paints go I don't see any reason why you shouldn't use it
@@WHITLEYAUTOWORKS ok great thats what i was thinking plus im going to be using black sealer as well.....how good is ms clear vs hs clear .?..
you didnt get the general explanation on 1k and 2k. 1k is air dry and 2k is a 2 part where activator is mixed together.
I have 1k spraxmax clear to use for headlights. I didn’t want to use 2k spray max because I have to trash it the same day. Will there 1k spray max work?
You don't have to trash 2k clear the same day it usually keeps for a few days but you can use the 1k the finish just won't be as good as the 2k and it won't have the added UV protection I would recommend the 2k if you want it to last thanks for watching
