CLEAR COATS
The “Premier League” of refinish materials! Today’s clear coats have complex tasks which were partly performed by base coats in the past.
The clear coat ensures gloss and long-lasting protection of the refinished parts and, in addition, it brings special effects of metallic, pearl or interference pigments of the base coat to life!
For this reason, a professional car painter is very skeptical about new clear coat qualities. At the end, a bad clear coat can destroy the previously perfect paint job, making additional interminable and unpopular sanding jobs at the respective panel necessary.
For this reason, our clear coats receive our special attention in development and production!
Some of CAP’s clear coats may be adjusted to respective working, job or climate conditions with special hardeners and additives which is safe and uncomplicated to be done directly at the working place of a car painter.
Furthermore, most of CAP’s clear coats may be polished even after several days as easy as some hours after application of the coat! This offers a big potential for process optimizations in the body shop: many parts may be still sprayed shortly before the closing time because polishing on the next day will not cause any problems! The same applies to Fridays or days prior to national holidays since the clear coat may still be polished to perfection without additional effort and without any concession to the surface quality on Monday or the following day!
