Outstanding ! I have not tried the speed clear yet.

Beautiful! Curious why you chose the speed clear over universal or euro etc.

Everytime I've sprayed it, it comes out like glass. I wasn't in a big hurry, but I have been wanting to try using it like this. Absolutely poured the clear on it without a hint of a run or sag, solvent pop, or dieback.

I thought your helper sprayed it.

You caught me He can lay down some synthetic enamel.

I'm having the same experience with this clear. The only thing keeping me from making it a daily driver is that I suck at knowing exactly how much I'll need, and so end up wasting more than usual.

I saved the piece of tape covering the fuel tank hole. After 2 coats unreduced epoxy, epoxy sealer mixed 1:1:1, 2 coats SPI catalyzed base, and 4 coats of Speed Clear, I folded it back and forth and wadded it up trying to make it crack, and it wouldn't. I gave the tape to the owner and he was so amazed he was going to show it to his wife. I'm sure she was thrilled

Speed clear powders up nicely when DA sanding and is not very prone to pigtails, makes buffing easy, something else
I like about it.

Outstanding flow coating job, Texas.

Now you did it, Texas. I thought I was doing good until I saw this...

The parts came out so nice after both clear sessions, I had to force myself to sand them, especially after I flow coated the tank and 2 fenders. Just had to see if it could get better with buffing. I love spraying small parts, they make you look better than you are

That did look beautiful!!!

The speed clear is a little bit more $$ but my results have been stellar and I don't have anything close to good conditions. I have found a 1.4 is the way to go.

What's the window for cutting and buffing?

 

[texasking]

The next day is perfect. The longest I have waited was painted Friday and buffed Monday. Buffed a little harder, but still very acceptable.

This is why I prefer a clear that gets hard fast.
Unlike most that want one that stays soft.
