Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the shelf life of clear varnish?

How long clear varnish stays good depends on how you store it. An unopened can and spray can of clear varnish stays good for years.

What is 2K Clearcoat?

2K clear coat is a transparent lacquer consisting of 2 components. A 2K clear coat is scratch-resistant, petrol-resistant, weather-resistant and UV-resistant. 2K clear coat has been voted the best clear coat for over base coat and colour coat.

How do you apply 2K Clear Varnish?

2K Clear Varnish is applied with a spray can or sprayer. A 2K aerosol can of clear lacquer is applied by means of a spray, so you do not need a special paint sprayer. If you have 2K clear coat in a can, you apply it with a spray gun.

What is the difference between 1K and 2K clear coat?

The difference between 1K and 2K clear coat is that a 2-component clear coat is scratch-resistant, petrol-resistant and chemical-resistant. However, the difference between 1K and 2K clear coat is that a 1K clear coat is fast-drying and a 2K clear coat needs to dry longer because it consists of 2 components.

Which 2K lacquer is best?

Which 2K lacquer is best can vary from user to user and application to application. It was recently declared that CROP 2K lacquer is best under all conditions and at different temperatures. It is also best to apply CROP 2K lacquer over all paints and lacquer types.

What is clear coat?

Clear coat is a transparent lacquer that you apply over a colour lacquer. This makes a clear coat the same as a varnish that protects the colour lacquer from scratches, discolouration by sunlight, impacts, weather, salt and more.

How do you apply clear coat?

Clear coat is applied with a spray can or a paint sprayer. There are several ways to apply clear coat. If you apply clear coat, make sure you apply at least 2 layers.

What is the difference between clear coat and transparent?

There is no difference between clear coat and transparent. A clear coat is transparent, which is why this varnish is also called a transparent varnish.

How many layers of clear coat should I apply?

Applying 2 layers of clear coat is enough to have enough layer thickness. Do you want the clear coat to have more ‘body’? Then apply another coat of clear coat.
