Speedokote Premium High Solids Clear Coat

Had some issues with other speedokote clear, after few days some kind of white marks was showing up. Decided to go with SMR 42, because previous one was regular clear coat instead of HS, its extremely thin, laying down perfectly like glass. Ofc had few runs on first spray, never had that thin clear but its all about your hand, i would suggest to keep 15min flash between coats. Sprayed few extra parts after that without runs, perfect mirror finish. This clear is definitely PRO, quality match with more expensive ones like PPG Deltron. One of my new favs!!

Looks great and spray the same as their SMR 130, even uses the same hardener, just twice as much. Speedokote is hard to beat if the money and ease of use.

Best clear for the money. Thick clear 2 coats is like 3-4. Buries flake and graphics well. Buffs out well. Do not over reduce it or it will dieback like 4:1 cheap clear. Either use a good gun that can break it up or just a dab of slow reducer to help the cheap guns. The china made porphis is as good as Iwata and Sagola guns!!!!

I’ve used this stuff on a lot of random stuff, it’s a great high solids clear. Has great self leveling qualities and is dumb easy to buff, seems to last, puts off a great shine too! Always just 2 coats with this stuff, Can run very easy if you’re not familiar with high solid clears. I use high solid axalta spies hecker clear coat every day at work and this sprays a lot like it in many ways

Best clear on the market!!!@@

I have used this on multiple classic cars and the shine is fantastic with the SMR42. I prefer it over their Euroclear. Have not compared it to the glamour clear yet. Buffs to a showcar like finish. Currently using it on a 67 Fairlane. I get some trash or specs from clear coat drying in the air due to painting in a garage. So I need a clear that can be safely wetsanded and buffed. 3 coats on classics. 2 coats on dailies. I do Not use it in the winter. It will run. Warm weather clear. Speedokote has several clears for winter panel painting that dry nicely in cold weather.

When I first bought this , I had a problem with pinholes in the clear . Called Speed Kote and spoke to a tech named Brad who was extremely helpful. Turned out the pinholes were caused by an equipment failure on my compressor which Brad advice lead me to. After addressing the problem, this clear laid out like like glass. This is now my go to clear. I am also going to check out their other products. Excellent product and excellent customer service. Thanks Brad. Bob

Awesome product
