2K Spraymax/Eastwood over Duplicolor Timing?

[SMRcalidiv]

Hey everyone, this is my first post to this site, but I couldn't help but see that this seems to be the place for people discussing the use of 2k clear over Duplicolor. My question is, what is the standard timing of this process? Do I need to wait a week for the Duplicolor to cure? Will it need to be sanded before spraying the clear...or will the solvent in the 2k allow for chemical adhesion to still occur?

spray over the duplicolor as fast as 30 minutes if you want
as to wet sanding thats all up to you and how smoooooooooooth you want it
do you want it smooth or do you want it smoooooooooth
can you dig it?

Lacquer cures by evaporation of solvent. Overcoating it with anything before it dries completely could result in "solvent pops"--- small bubbles that form in the top coat as the solvents try to escape from the lacquer underneath. Just something to be aware of.

You'll never get it with a spray can..... But I think it's great your trying....

you can achieve GLASS if you put enough clear on and have good hands and common sense, and can get youtube at least 100 videos available

LOL Ditlzer is great paint...... It's the rattle can that's the problem......... I've painted for 40 years plus, Painted many award winning show cars. With a rattle can you can't get enough product to buff it to look like glass...... Just being honest..........

This is slick as glass......... Now who has the hands???????????

Those are trees and me reflecting in the paint.............

It's all good...I know what I can get out of a can. I did a deck lid on my old Mustang with Spraymax and cut/buffed it to a super smooth finish. Not really looking to debate what can be achieved or anything...I have just never done Duplicolor under a 2k and wanted to button down the timing.

I would just make sure it is dry before you cover it up with 2K so it won't lift..... Good luck

Nope not kidding at all, Like I said above I was just being honest...... You were making it sound like there was no difference..... Now you are saying there is a difference make up your mind..... Looks like glass with a rattle can????? I guess it can be done but it would be tough..... Just my opinion..........

Also you said...

guess you dont have the hands

I posted a pic to show you I do have the hands....... And I know what I'm talking about not just hear say.........
