2k clear coat activator

The perfect 2K clear coat activator may be challenging to find, but it is not entirely impossible. First, you have to know what kind of feature you’re working on. Are you painting a car, some furniture or something else? Other projects could require different activators. For car painting, you’d be after an activator that dries fast so you don’t have to spend too much time waiting between coats. If you're doing some furniture on the other hand, maybe actually going for a slower drying activator would improve your flow and finish

Then think about the temperature and humidity of where work is being done. Some activators function better in dry, warm air, while there are some engineered for cooler or more humid surroundings. That can influence how compatible the activator is with the paint. We stress frequently to our original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers not forget that when you read a product box it says something like “created by,” but there is no law requiring them to say built by Dongxu. Find a clear coat activator that is formulated to go with the type of paint you're using. Mixing products that aren’t compatible can cause issues such as bubbling or chipping paint.

How to Choose the Right 2K Clear Coat Activator for Your Project

And another consideration is the mix of activator to paint. Many instructions will tell you how much activator to add to the paint. Getting this right is important. It’s also possible that too much activator can create paint that runs too thin, and not enough can mean the paint doesn’t cure quite right. Follow the instructions carefully, or consult us at Dongxu if you have not something understand. Lastly, check the activator with a touch of your paint, beforehand always to ensure you don’t ruin your system. That way you can test out how it reacts and ensure you get the finish you’re after

Begin by pouring the proper amount of 2K clear coat into your mixing vessel. Consult the instructions on your product’s packaging to find out how much activator is necessary. The standard ratio is 2 parts clear coat to 1 part activator, but they can vary. When you have the correct quantities, add the activator to the mixture. Now, it's time to mix! Stir the two liquids together with your paint stirrer. Be sure to stir well so that there are no lumps and everything is mixed evenly. This procedure is crucial as if your solution isn’t properly mixed, then it’s silver lining’ may not work.
