I am almost at the stage to start thinking about paint and clear so does anyone have a suggestion about which would be best for a non professional? I have talked to ppg jobber and asked about 2021 clear any thoughts? What about the Tamco that is on this sight what are your thoughts about it ? Is it user friendly ? I understand that it is a matter of preference but any suggestions are definitely appreciate. Is the 2021 harder to sand than most others ? Chris this may be more towards you but which of the Tamco clears would be more user friendly since I am not a painter by trade ? Thanks guys !

check out this brief thread...

While I have not yet put the clear finish out in the elements, etc, I can speak to its workable value to beginners like myself. I am very happy with the forgiving quality of how it sprays, levels, and polishes. That would be the Tamco HC 2100 clear that is sold on this site.

I would suggest you do a search here on the forum for clear coat and see what pops up. I am sure there are lots of options.

Get Tamco Universal Clear and you will be happy and save money too.
Remember the paint doesn't make the painter. Having the right air compressor, filtration system, spray gun and spray area all make a huge difference in how things will turn out.

Keeping a consistent distance from the panel, a steady spraying speed, not tilting the gun and maintaining a 50% overlap will all help. Wait the required flash time between coats.

Yep, try the Tamco Universal Clear. Here's a small project we just did.... viewtopic.php?f=12&t=25966
Stuff handles easily and has a lot of the hardness characteristics you'd see in cured PPG 2021. Another thing the neighborhood might like... it seems to have less "smell" and it doesn't linger as long as some clears I've used. That Jeep was done and back on the road in two days. Looks great.....

thanks guys for the info will get some on the way .

In the past I have had great results with 2002 as well. Although the velocity clears also seem to be pretty user friendly, I was never as satisfied with the depth. Don't skimp on clear, the last thing you want is it burning off 5 years later.

The HC-2100, HC-2104 and HC-4100 are all excellent clears and will last for many (many) years. Very easy to use. The HC-2021 is a dead ringer for PPG's 2020/2021 but in my opinion more suited for a booth situation than home garage.

I have the most experience with HC-2100 but will likely start using HC-2104 more, going forward.

I like Tamco Universal Clear as well. Seems to do the job.
