I have been using urechem for over 6 years. My cars sit outside all year long. The paint looks as good as when I first laid it down. I also only use their high solid clear. The paint and clear has always laid down smoooooth, see no reason to try most expensive brands when I get great quality from urechem.
Same The HS glamor clear in hot Texas sun. No shrinkage
How is it holding up now? Would you recommend it for a show car? (I'm in the process of building one)
I like how it lays down first coat looks great but it had some sort of reaction on the second coat and looked awful.
Probably laid it down too heavy
Nice review! Very similar experience here with spraying the sparkling merlot pearl(videos on my channel). This was my first time spraying a whole car. And it was a DIY job in my home garage. The HS clear laid out very well! Like I mentioned, I’m a novice and I got it to spray out like oem texture. Being in a garage I had some dust nibs and also got a few sags. But that all cut and buffed out very easily with 1000-3000grit then a 20mm Da with Maguires 110/210.
I use Urechem every now and then for some of the custom paint jobs that i do for people out of my shop. They do offer some great colors especially with their metallics and silk base pearl colors. The price is right and after a good 7 years of using it have had no complaints with the things i have painted. It is 2:1 mix which sure isn't as nice as 1:1 but the price is right regardless. I never used their clear I use certain brands of clear I prefer and i dont deviate from those products. Another brand of paint I have had excellent results with is Autobahn as well as Tamco.
So, for a comparison, I used ProBase from NAPA, which is a Martin Senour paint. I think the parent brand is Sherwin Williams but I may be wrong. I used it to paint a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner and the color we went with was a 2008 Hemi Orange, which is an orange/red color. We also played with it and added some gold pearl flake so it would pop in the sunlight. It took 5 coats of base until it wasn't streaky under a sun gun and I went ahead and sprayed a 6th just to be sure. If that stuff is covering in 2-3 coats with a red, that's money! Reds are the most expensive and the crappiest covering colors.
I used their base on my Civic and another clear. The Urekem clear I did the underside of my hood and you're right it shrinks plus in the cup it's yellow I mean very noticable. My midnight blue pearl was great but you do need more of the 2:1 base for sure.
You get what you pay for. I just priced the paint or Project 1Ton and it's $150 a quart.
I think the clear not being the best was important for viewers. I ordered a kit for my 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix. I also ordered Sherwinn’s “Finish 1 (FC720) ultra clearcoat. I wasn’t sure which clear to use but after your video I will seriously consider swapping the clear to “Finish 1” instead.
That would be strongly recommend
Their HS glamor clear is only 50 bucks upgrade. There's the better product.
EXACTLY!!
Great video bro we use a lot of tran star and matrix at the shoo in at now before then I was just using matrix clear and paint at home. Nice video and thanks for the info bro
Yup , I’ve used several different transtar products just not thier clear coat, is it any good ?
@@Mechaniclyfe we use a lot of there signature clear and it seems good so far still getting the hang of its nature lol we also use a euro clear hs which is nice but more of the signature
I used their no mix paint , before I switched to valspar
Good detailed review Chris, I think you good folks over there have a bit more choice in what you can use then we do here in the UK, I have heard of Urechem but don't know if it's available here I haven't seen it anyway. John UK.
You can use economy line primers and paints and reducers but do not use lower and clears put a high and clear over the top of all that for UV protection and to lock it down if you're trying to save money and put three coats not two to only if it is a high solids you need something that's going to last 10 to 15 years at least or you will be doing it again and you don't save any money at all better to spend a couple hundred to a few hundred more and last 20 years then they have to do it every 6 years
I like Matrix clear’s
Hi chris informative video bud as youve realized not all budget products are the greatest sometimes it worth spending a little more switching over to HS will be a good move bro you will see in the end results bro 👍👍👍👍
As I've said in the past brother paint all jobs wirh the remaining ms to use it all up then give it a couple of wks and hit it with some HS after a good key you will notice the difference bro believe me really flat not much cutting and buffing try it brother I know it works 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Chris my first day back I've sent that e mail to that rep waiting on his reply also boxed up a few goodies for you I need a mailing address but no rush bud all in your own time 👍👍👍
Thank you so much Dean , I much appreciate it ! I’ll send you an email right now in a bit
@@Mechaniclyfe juat got your address will mail it over don't worry about the cost it won't be much via air mail there are no liquids so should be sraight forward as for the rep my end waiting for his reply 😊😊👍👍
Thank you so much Dean 🙏🏻😊 I’m beyond grateful 😊
Hey Chris is the urechem slikbase acrylic urethane? Nice video also.
No, this paint is a polyurethane, but they do offer other paint on their website. Thecoatingstore.com
Gallon of root beer paint reduces and Hardner's clear coat gallon activator cups activator cup strainers sticks $410 for both one gallon and 1 qt kit delivered to the front door you can't beat that 👍 From my understanding these people who own this company used to work for house of color they made a more affordable product instead of you going to pay $800 for a gallon No reducers with $1200 you can paint your car 3 times literally 😀
It's a Mississippi company right up the road from me. I have a '02 Jeep Wrangler I'm prepping for paint and I'm definitely going to give it a try.
any thoughts on how this will hold up a decade later for those customers that will hold onto the vehicles..
So i can buy finish 1 fc720 and it will work fine with urchem 3 stage pearl paint then ? It’ll bond to it fine etc, just don’t want to use the clear that comes with the kit
Yeah it’ll be fine
Thanx run across this brand last night. Ordered the bright blue kit with high solid upgrade. Iam spraying my trophy truck project Tacoma. I finish high end wood with axalta sikkens ilva 2k polys solvent base. Been awhile since I shot a truck or car how easy is for i guy like me to use? Now I have been spraying with a supernova entech for atleast 30 hours a week .
Pretty easy to spray in my opinion, base covers really well when mixed 2:1 as recommended, I reduce it just a bit more for a flatter layout on my base
@@Mechaniclyfe thanx for info brother. About to spray the primer surfacer just waiting for shop to cool off its 116 right now
I hear ya it but a bit warm here too
Try their HS Glamour clear. I've sprayed every ppg/omni clear, most of the transstar products, finish master, nasson, cheaper sherwin. I prefer the CS HS clear to them all, you have to get it on way past way to thick to convince it to run and even spraying bike fairings with a cheap gun it came out glass flat in all the pockets. First time I used it I was fully expecting to have to sand it flat and buff it out but I got a finish with less ripple than I've seen on any factory new car. Only real downside is it did take a good 24h at 75-80f to air dry enough to put the bike back together and I'd want to say give it a couple weeks to a month before rag washing or showing it any abuse, it did eventually get very hard though, by far harder than any of the ppg products I've usually gone with. Its a little deceptive when spraying also, maybe a better gun would help but it looked like it was going to be a orange peel mess as it laid down but that glassed right out within a few minutes of spraying. Not to say its the best thing around but for the money or even double the money i have not found anything better. Their 2k primer I thought was alright, nothing to complain about, but I've used others that build faster, need less time to cure before sanding, sand easier. I'd probably prefer a finish master or Sherwin product there if they were not about 2x the price.
Hmm I might just have to give it a go once I run out of my other material , I have 1.5 gallons of clear still left
how do you think the clear will hold up after a decade for customers who want no fading clear jobs
@@91rss I've never had or even heard of any clear fading since maybe the mid 90's. If you are talking about looking like its sun baked off or pealing that is 100% down to being improperly applied. It was either a thin single coat of a production clear as many body shops like to do cutting material costs or something with the base coat being too dry or not dry enough trapping solvents under the clear, temps maybe. In my experience its almost always because someone sprayed base one day and cleared it the next. I'd never even consider putting down clear after 2 hours has past, usually looking to spray clear right around 20min after last coat of base. Urethane clear properly applied over urethane base becomes one single coating that just can not separate. I'm not sure if its still the case but not too long back many of the HoK products lacked uv protection and so the color/candy coat pigments would fade. I wouldn't be worried about unless the products state otherwise. That sort of thing just isn't an issue with modern stuff, yeas coating store is a discount line but the reality of that is they are just putting their labels on the can, its still supplied to them by one of the few major manufactures. Quality differences are mostly going to come down to physical durability and how tolerant is the product to less that ideal application, how quickly can things be touched/assembled, how long till it reaches full hardness, how hard will it actually get. As for the CS stuff it seems pretty hard to mess up compared to a lot of paints I've used, The primers cure to dry sandable quick, the color covers reasonable enough, the clear glamor clear resists runs and self levels very well but it does take longer to cure than what some people may be used to, it wouldn't be suitable to a shop looking to get stuff out the door quick. 24-36 hours at 70f to safely handle parts, I'd give it 2-3 days before assembling anything, full hardness seems to be around the same 2-3 weeks as most other brands and it does get very hard, if you need to cut and polish i would do it within a week for sure or it will be a nightmare once it gets too hard.
Less reducer means that pain has more pigment. The amount or urethane resins and drying agent is less. Get a $30 Harbor Freight spot light, swivels, magnetic base and light levels and check for thin spots and missed areas after second coat of color.
There are 9 different ways clear coat shrinks. Do you mean it pulled away from the edges about 2 inches of what.
Since you don’t not show, you must describe. Orange peel, hazing, dry spots, rough patch in one area, what booth? What size tip like 1.3mm, yellow hue, yes 70% of cleats including PPG, Sherrington-Williams, Speed-Coat, other have yellow hue now or later. How fast were you spraying, what over/lap did you try, PPG 2.0 cups or other keeping a 45 degree angle to the panels… I have many question and yes, MS Clear is less vicious as it has less solids in it. Use an export for the sealer over the high-build, primer or filler. Epoxy works best here to spot prime fill only only after sanded to P600-P800, epoxy, color then clear with 3 coats. Let cure for a week or two, final block, tach & blow, W&G, dry and put two wet on wet coats of clear, done! No cut & buff, no extra work, just put trim, windows, lights and finish out / done!

Great video. If you get a chance try Grant 7 clear. You will never use a different one again
I’ve heard good things about it not sure if they could ship to California
@@Mechaniclyfe I'm not sure. Hit him up on his site. There is a email address and he is quick to reply
@@Mechaniclyfe I am in norcal and they ship the oh my clear here no problem.
Really?! 🤔 in that case I might just have to pull the trigger on it, but first I got to use up some remaining clear I have stored in the closet!
@@Mechaniclyfe Yeah I've been using it for about a year now and so far so good with shipping. It is a really nice clear and flows out like glass. Are you still using the inflatable booth you did a video on?
have u tried the urechem glamour clear?
Haven’t sprayed it personally but heard many good things about it, I would lean towards glamour clear over their ms clear
Good info on application and expectations of application. You also covered some sanding characteristics. Sadly though, no mention of how it buffs, resistance to chipping or longevity. From a constructive criticism point of view, I would suggest waiting a while before posting up a review. In the end, doing so would make your content even more meaningful and informative.
I have been using urechem for over 6 years. I still own the first one I did with their cherry bomb pearl and it still looks freshly painted.
@@myviews7882 u got Instagram with pictures?
@@roofhy4133 I do not use instagram. Next time it is sunny I will load a video.
Don't expect any help from the tech dept. If you have issues. Been chasing answers for weeks and they do not call back.
What issues you having ?
????? What is the BEST BASE AND CLEAR ON THE MARKET TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE IF MONEY WASNT OF ANY CONCERN???? THX...
So many out there , I haven’t used all of them so I couldn’t say , I’ve used valspar for years , valspar is buying up a lot of companies , I believe they own part of ppg , if I’m not mistaken, as well as sherwin Williams , debeers, and a few others. Valspar from my experience is very good . Idk about being the best tho.

Sadly they don’t have 1f7 paint code base coat for a 2020 Corolla that I’m rebuilding and need to paint a few parts
Yeah they are limited on colors
@@Mechaniclyfe all good I’ll be going to napa to get half quart of base I believe it’s $85 can’t remember
@@Mechaniclyfe by chance know any other sites that I can buy paint matched paint at because there’s gotta be a cheaper place then $85 for half quart then Napa
Depends on your area , I usually go to a local paint store for paint matching
@@alivapereviews8057 Tamco will do oem codes, just text Tammy and she will hook it up. Their stuff is 1:1, covers really well, and so far I've had really consistent color matching.
