That's looking really nice, is it acrylic based finish?

Yes but the difference is its an Acrylic resin based paint, is fast drying and is a very tough cleacoat. Its made by Roberlo and you can sand and paint the next day, 3 days and you can cut and polish. Awesome stuff to work with. One can can do 5-7 good coats and costs about $17 au a can. The metallic base coat is $27 but they can mix any colour you like.

problem with acrylic over wood the clear will take ages to harden so every time you try to polish it you'll get fingerprint marks or even lay it on anything you will get makes from what you lay it on in it and it will also make everything under it soft can be a real pain even if you keep it in a warm place the best you'll get is just hard enough to polish in about a week, if you still not hard in a month you got some problems with it acrylic is simple to use but its not very forgiving can make all your hard work stuffed. if you're using a spray tin acrylic clear it has a retarder to make it dry slower so better to use spray gun with thin coats or just use a 2k product

just so you know i am a spray painter for real or should i say used to be before i chucked a motorcycle down the road and ended up in a chair hope that helps you :-)

Hey thanks for the input Phrozin, i used a 1k product and had no problem other than a gust of wind blowing into my shed on last coats of clear.. ggrrr. Back to sanding. If you dont mind me asking how long ago did you have your accident?

cool, where did you get it?

phrozin has it spot on, my clear is over stained wood, you may be having more luck over a colour

You could be right, timber is a lot more porous, although if you grain filled it it should be ok. I will be using it over my next one which will be stained.Our local "The Paint Place" stocks it, but if they dont have it they probably could get it for you. Id be very careful about putting it over your acrylic until its properly cured. As everyone here tells you, try a sample first. Good advice.

I reckon that stuffs the business. I use a 1k product, and thats 2k even harder. It says no primer needed, recoat 1 hr. Sounds awesome. With my 1k i touched up a corner of the clear last night and this morning sanded and recoated it. Id give that 2pak a go, and its turps based.
