Hello everyone I was wanting to know if any of you have had any experience with EVERCOAT High Solids Urethane Clearcoat Or know anything about it if its any good. And another question I bought a gallon of Dupont Nason Ful-Base B/C and the guy at the paint store said I could use lacquer thinner to reduse it and I didnt need to use the hardner that it says that it needs on the can 8:½:4
MIX:
8 parts Ful-Base®
B/C Basecoat Color
½ part Ful-Base®
483-30™ B/C Activator
4 parts Ful-Base®
441-2X™ Reducers Has any of you guys used lacquer thinner to reduce nason base coat.

I would bet that someone told that guy at the paint store that you could reduce it with lacquer thinner and you wont have problems. but if you want any kind of warranty with the paint I would stick to regular basemaker. No need to save a couple of bucks have it f up on you and have to tell the dupont rep that you used lacquer thinner to reduce the base. Sound really hillbilly to me. good thing you posted it first.

as far as the clear goes I would use nason clear so you will have a better shot of getting a warranty

Use only urethane grade reducer in the nason base. Never laquer thinner. Thats for cleaning the gun.

Man, where does this stream of bizzare advice originate from???? The guys at the paint counter obviously now officially no nothing and are just "winging" it with advice. OKAY, EVERBODY, TRY THIS.... Read your p. sheets first, then come on here and confirm it with guys that actually shoot the stuff. :rolleyes:

Thats why I asked the question about the lacquer thinner because I read the data sheet for the nason And it says exactly what kind of reducer to use but when I asked the guy at the paint store he acted like he had never even hered of the stuff and told me to just use lacquer thinner and I thought that was a little strange because I asked him wanting to buy the 441-21 ful-base reducer and he didn't have it . he also told me that I didn't need to use the 483-30 base coat catalyst is it mandatory or what.

Well, this is the p sheet that I brought up.... http://pc.dupont.com/dpc/en/US/html/vis ... secoat.pdf
In there it says "to achieve optimal performance" you should use it. Sounds like its' the old "kick your base" thing that guys do here routinely. If you kick your base any further touch-up work will go a lot easier as you don't get bad reactions. I do usually kick my base because I am assuming there could be some damage in reassembly on a project. Hey, ODG, jump in here with some Dupont tech....

Always use activator in your base coat. There is nothing like watch $135 a quart base coat wrinkle. I even use activator in the base coat when I trim out parts.
