2k Paint, mixing laquar in the top coat?

[Balley]

Hello, as some of you know I am currently in the process of repainting my car. Basically I have heard a few times in the past you can mix 2k clear in with the final top coat to give you a really good shine. What ratio would people use? I was thinking somewhere along the line of 1:1 Direct gloss with clear, and then 2:1 with normal direct gloss hardener and then 10-15% thinners.

Anybody done this? would my made up ratio even work? any other tips. I am confident in using 2k so that isn't a problem. If it matter then car is being painted 80L black.

Regards Dan.

hi dan I would just stick to the 2 k on its own if you get it on right , 2 :1 wouldn't bother to much with the thinners then 1500 wet flat then polish with g3 , then perfect it 3m glaze job done happy days just my way of doing it the old 2k way

Never heard that!

You can flat gloss of and clear over the top for a deep shine and extra shine and protection.
