Can you use this product on Dupli-Color BFM0317 base coat? I read online that you cant use this type of clear coat on laquer paint.

You are correct it needs to be enamel paint, I made the mistake of using lacquer based paint and the paint was soft even after many weeks of dry time

Yes because all this stuff is a clear coat, so trust me it works, don't get me wrong, this stuff is not like a professional booth paint job clear coat, but its the best from my experience for a Do it your self stuff. I even tried the dupli color clear coat and that stuff fades and turns yellow, the USC spray max high gloss does not.

I have Dupli Color paint and it says on the can, Enamel Lacquer. Will it work? Sure sounds like it will.

It works great especially for the newer paints. To test it after buying it, I sprayed epoxy primer (1.8mm tip), base color (1.5mm tip), and urethane clear (1.3mm tip). The gun performed flawlessly. I would suggest you keep a cheap gun for the primer and use this for color/clear, so you don't have cross-contamination from the primer. I use a Husky HVLP (about $50) that works great. I would buy this gun again. I use it on classic Corvettes....

It's not the best idea to do that. It can "melt" the lacquer by trapping it's (the lacquers) own solvents under the clear if the lacquer isn't well and properly dried for a few days. Try at your own risk. Good product though.

I checked the manufacturer's web site for specifications. They claim that it can be used as a primer for other paints, so I painted over the Hydro Seal 75 that I had applied with a vapor-barrier type paint. The combination seems to work really well. I'm not ready to sell my basement dehumidifier yet, but it hasn't been used since I painted the walls about seven months ago.

I emailed Meguires about a paint job on my older Ford Explorer. Seems that the body shop used a cheap clear coat over the base coat and began to haze prematurely. I suspected the clear coat was sprayed on too thin. I live in the southwest and auto paint is subject to harsh summer heat. I asked the shop to spray four clear coats but I'm sure they didn't and used some cheap stuff because paint failure happens after a couple of years but anyway, The customer care guys at Meguires suggested I use this product with a grey foam pad( I used a yellow) and my car looked like new after I finished it. The oxidized paint came right off. I also put the synthetic sealer soon afterwards and even left that on overnight to bind with the paint. You really dont need to polish your car often if you wash it by hand using a microfiber wash cloth and Meguires car wash then spray on the synthetic detailer (while car is still wet) dry off with a dry microfiber cloth. The polish is only to SLICK UP THE FINISH. Sometimes the birds get to my car and I polish that off after the hand wash but once the suface is slick and sealed, evrything will wash right off. You are right though, you go polish off some of the paint when you do this so go easy, low RPM on your rotary polisher,light pressure and remember to seal it up ! this stuff really worked well for me, I used a Dewalt rotary polisher that I purchased here on Amazon for about $150.00 a year ago. The rotary polisher is a little more difficult to use than the orbital(much lower oscillations per second) and you might want to consider that first. I have seen those at Harbour Freight Sales for about $25.00. I hope that helps !

I've never used lacquer with mine. I've sprayed a lot of oil based polyurethane and latex paint. Poly is the easiest. The trick is getting your material to the correct viscosity. A little trial and error and test sprays, this gun is easy to use.

Absolutely, this product is a heavy duty clear-coat. Make sure you follow the instructions and wear a properly approved paint mask for this product!

Not sure about staining since I am careful regarding what comes into contact with the treated surface. My advice would be to remember that this is simply a type of paint. If something will stain or damage paint, odds are that it will also damage duplicolor shadow. Another option is to contact Dupli Color with your question.

No sorry it won't work. It is like nail lacquer. You need a base and a top. Color in-between if you want. The base it what helps hold it on the nail and only a top will peel off because there's no base. Hope this makes since. You can use only a base and top coat with no color if you want. It looks really nice and the shine lasts for almost 2 weeks.

It should work really well but be careful. It is not recommended for clear coat paint.

It can but its not really recommended. Glossifier is supposed used with plasti dip, at least 3-4 coats, and it's not intended to be used as an alternative to clear coat if that's what you're trying to accomplish. What exactly are you trying to do?

I apply over first coat. Wait 5 days & remove & apply again. I use as my base coat if applying color polish.

Use a gloss black primer, and then paint *extremely* light coats of chrome, building it up slowly. I find that 2-3 coats works best, and it dries very quickly in between coats. I have looked everywhere for a "manual" or directions, but have not found one, so the info I am giving you is based on my own tests. I tried it many different ways, and only gloss black with light chrome coats gave me the high polish results I was looking for. It should also be sealed if it's going to be even lightly handled, and again the sealing should be done with a very light hand. I would recommend testing on plastic spoons to make sure you have things right before you go to model, as stripping this stuff is a real PITA. Happy Painting!

A lot of base coat clear coat paints are urethane and It is urethane based so I would say yes.

Absolutely! Today I was polishing a car with both single stage black enamel and lacquer and it works exceedingly well. Even using a wool pad, you would be impressed at how nicely it finishes. As others state, you will need to follow with M205 or something to refine the marks left from compounding. In other words, it is not a one-step product. Worked *carefully* with a microfiber applicator or towel, it can be used by hand, but I would only recommend this in spot applications.

Hi-I just painted this on, UNdiluted, with a big brush. It worked fine (my painting was 4' X 3.5'). If possible, I wouldn't thin the gloss if you sprayed it. Then again if you applied several coats of thinned gloss it might work out to be the same as unthinned.

it will work on stainless steel. if you are using clear coat, the surface needs to be rough in order for it to stick. if you are using the lacquer paint, it will stick to stainless fairly well. it has to be dry and clean at start and dont get it wet for at least 24 hours.
