I've used some cheap shit and that fc720 is the only "El cheapo" clear that never shrunk up on me like the Nason and shopline junk. But understand if I care about the project it's getting spi!

Probably frowned upon here but I’ve sprayed a ton of Finish 1 fc710/720 clear in my day. Actually kinda like it. And it’s 10 min away if I’m in a pinch. Every company has its pros and cons.

. It’s kind of a moot point for me. I can’t get any of the SPI paints or clears here in CA…. If I I ever move I’ll be sure to give them a try. This is my first project so I don’t have anything to compare to but I sprayed the single stage and it went on real easy. I jumped back and said “holy crap, I did it!” Seems nice to me. I’m using the ATX line. I think it’s supposed to be middle of the road line.
 
Read the tech manual. You can see all the compliant products there. SPI even has compliant reducer. You can download the Tech Manual on the SPI Website. It's also included in paper form in (nearly) every order that is placed.

Look at the reducer. Is it milky? All of SW basecoat reducers (that I know of) have a stabilizer in them. If it is not completely clear, do not use it. Big problems. As crash said, the US series is regular urethane reducer and would work fine.

They are surely not all milky, the US series of reducers are a standard reducer that you would use in clear, sealer or things to that nature, BCS and he RHF are milky reducers. I would struggle recommending any products that require these milky reducers and I am a distributor for Sherwin. Been trying to work my way out of it for the last year.

I figured they would be back to painting with brushes in California by now. And getting fined for every drop of material that spills from the can.

:) That would be too hard on all the homeless folks who like to repaint their tents.

The tech line said I could use the SW reducer so I will probably give it a shot. It is for my truck, I’m not painting someone else’s vehicle. To quote an old joke, if all the paint falls off I will “Repaint and thin no more!”.
