BASF RMC5000 Clear Coat

[GoDadGo]

Hey Gang,

We just a little paint work done on my son's 2000 Camaro.
We painted the roof black to make the car look a little more like an SS and/or Z-28 model
My painting pal tried a new clear coat that he said went on really easy and the roof now looks like a black mirror.

The clear is listed below if any of you are interested along with BASF's description:

Hey Gang,

Just want to give you a quick update on this clear coat.
I stopped by my pal's shop this afternoon and he said he's switching everything over to the RMC5000.
He's been in business since 1978 and still going strong, but mostly doing insurance collision work these days.

PS: He said I could even do a good job with this stuff and I don't know how to paint, other than with a brush or rattle can.

Hey All,

I wanted to bring this back to the top of the forum.

A few months ago we had a little work done on my son's car and so far the clear coat still looks wetter than wet. The Painter (Dennis) at my friend's shop says it still is the easiest he has ever used; however, it does require multiple passes and can be a bit tough to tell where he started and stopped. Dennis also stated that sometimes he does use the previous clear coat depending on his mood and the color of the vehicle that he's spraying.

Hope This Information Is Helpful!
