Howdy all out there in Torana land. What you all say about the "clear over base", two stage paint system, compared to acrylic?
Ok, here we go, this base coat system is called a two stage "2K base" paint that works with acrylic systems. . Well, you can be excused for thinking that anything 2K refers to two pack paint. As in the use of paint hardener, isocyanate, too dangerous to spray at home, probably illegal to spray at home as the neighbors would get high on the stuff (not that I care with one neighbor on one side) etc. Get the picture?
Well, apparently you can use this base coat, two stage system paint, without the need for hardener. And also, they say this base coat can be used with acrylic systems paint. So you can use acrylic primer underneath it along with acrylic clear on top of it. Well, here we go, why is it called 2K and why/how does it works with acrylic systems? And if used with acrylic systems, could there be any bad/adverse effects later down the track? Such as de lamination, shrinking etc. And, they say a two stage base coat application is better than acrylic. True or false? So, what do I do, paint my pride and joy Torana in, base coat or acrylic?
Opinions and advises, and a rundown on this base coat, from paint experts, much appreciated
