2K MATT

Im getting a chap to paint my roof DEF 300tdi MATT BLACK in 2K , ,, now he sort of said you don't clear coat 2K Matt , But i'm sure you use a Clear especially for MATT .

Ive got rattle cans in matt and a matt clear , both 1K and a 2K matt clear coat both rattle cans . i didn't know they did a 2K can
so got it after . This i got to paint my rear door , but may get him to do the door also .

But my question is do you clear coat matt base .

Usually 2K matt is a direct gloss paint with matting agents added. It, therefore, needs no lacquer.

You can, however, use a standard black paint then lacquer with matting agents in the lacquer

If the base coat is already matt then it won't need lacquer

So basically 2k paint, regardless of finish, is a top coat. Be that direct gloss. Lacquer etc. 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Now that i understand . Like a one coat does all sort of thing .... As long as its a hard surface , UV etc , im happy .

So when he went mmmmm we never clear coated matt as clear is to give shine . He must of meant its a direct gloss + matt agent paint .
