#spraymax2kclear #2kclear #2kvs2x - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
From what I learned the 2x is 1K but have the capacity to coat 2x times that’s why is 2X
The 2x isn’t a “type” of clear. That’s just their marketing verbiage saying it provides 2 times the spray coverage with the tip that’s on the can compared to a regular can. If you look at it on the can, it’s trademarked and a marketing tool basically. The SprayMax clear is a 2 step clear and about the best clear coat in a can hands down.
Exactly. This video makes no sense. He's comparing a real 2K product to..nothing. Of course 2K is going to be better than Rustoleum, lol. No reason anyone should be using Rustoleum products on actual cars, anyway..
He never mentioned that only 2k is solvent/petrol resistant. That regular enamel will just wash off if you splash degreaser/brake cleaner on it
13:18
You never watched the full video then
This fool use to spray with spray can clear. Don’t listen to this guy he doesn’t know anything about automotive paint.
I was wondering which one to use! I'm going to be repainting my car. I really appreciate your dedication and knowledge! Definitely 2K!
Watched this video before and it was a great refresher! Amazing content for sure. Thank you, God bless.
2x just means 2 times the coverage over a typical spray bomb. 2x is just normal spray paint that alot of people think is special like 2k but it's not.
Exactly lol
🤣
For further clarification for people learning out there:
2K means any product that is activated with a hardener/catalyst. These products will dry as the solvent evaporates, then cure. "2-component".
1K is a product that can be reflowed, and does not have a hardener/catalyst. They will only dry as their solvent evaporates.
2X is just some brand naming nonsense. It has no relevance to actual refinishing.
You want 2K for any final topcoat, or surfacing build. Only your conversion coats and intermediate basecoats should be 1K. Others CAN be. But they shouldn't.
Thanks for sharing buddy your the master, 2k for sure gave me near perfect results on my rims.
Big difference 2k vs 2x. Thanks for putting in the time. 👍
Thanks for the video! Really well made content and answered my questions regarding the differences. I have bought 2X yesterday thinking that's 2K only under a different brand name. I'll subscribe and check out your other videos. My only advice to you is to omit the loud music in between sequences.
Great video Brother J. It's a shame they shut you down from doing bigger things but you still bring awesome stuff to the table
What do you mean?
Amazing Video ! Been watching you since 2018👍🏻
The difference between the two paints is that the 2x means twice the coverage and the 2k is two component paint which is the equivalent to body shop grade paint.
Thank you for the video it truly helped
Wow that looks awesome, and love the color!!
Good informative video. Thanks for this
I like the rocker cover in plain matte black primer.
The confusion was intentioanl by Rustoleum. I do like rustoleum for restoring headlight restorations. It's uv resistance is fantastic for preventing yellowing
Great comparison and great video 👍🏼
Thanks for that. On my one car , painted the mirrors with 2x and got those Riggle in the paint. And can't seems to fix it. But it's the 2x paint ,that's the problem. 🤪
Yes 2x does do that to my paint as well sometimes the crack ish look
To go with the theme of the video I'll ask what microwave setting is best to warm the cans
Nice paint mixer it looks like a soup can painted black. They do work well, cheers Graham
The depth of gloss of the 2k clear is far superior!
I prefer it without clear that flat finish in the color looks great
Thanks for the video.. I've just polished up some si civic em1 wheels. Would you recommend applying a 2k clear coat on top? Thnks heaps.. Love the content as always or do you already have a video on polishing alloys? I've used mothers polishing.
Clean bro I'd prefer that 2 k clear easy thanks for clarifying
Great vid.
Thank you.
You spent a lot of money on that demonstration. The winner is obvious, but costlier. Thank you! South Carolina Capenter
i like that color .. looks nice
Good stuff!
If you want to use spray can clear,, found that high temp caliper clear works the best, and definitely lasts longer.. the spray can clear with hardener will always peel off in about 1 year
Have you noticed if there is a difference between the Rustoleum Automotive Enamel clear and the 2X clear? The Automotive says it is formulated for use on vehicles and the weather?
I finished a headlight restoration with the 2X Clear and it didn’t look good, this comparison showed me exactly why.
2x shouldn't be used on actual cars. Rustoleum products are just for cheap household jobs or model cars. 2K only for real cars.
That burnt bronze looks amazing. 👍
just an idea you can get different nozzles/caps on ebay for different styles for graffitti, not sure but you might want to give them a try there may be one that is a wider fan for your bigger jobs
I used that exact 2k its excellent
Needa wedge something in your paint mixer 3000, letting it just free spin inside is slowing the amount of roatations
The 2x after it is dry you run your finger nail across it you can see a light scratch . 2k because of the hardener won't show . It's worth the money .
Awesome color.
Hey, you should do a 2k VS 1k. I would like to see how those compare. I only mentioned it because 2k is pretty expensive.
Good video thanks!
Very useful video covering a realistic comparison. Thanks for sharing this. “Glossness” is not a word; I believe you meant ‘glossiness’. Since you introduced me to the color, I refurbished one of my Baldors in burnt copper. What a beautiful color that really pops when you cover it with 2K.
Good job! Thx
Thanks brah
Good info!
thanks, excellent content. I used Rustoleum Acrylic Enamel Black and got a good result but a little orange peel and a few nubs, cleaned it up with #800 scuff pad. Do I need to recoat with the black rustoleum or is the #800scuff an acceptable surface prep for the Spraymax 2K. Thanks!
The 2X acrylic might crack from heat. Acrylic cracks. The wrinkling from the acrylic is from the acetone in the 2X clear. You didn't shake it enough. Need to bleed the excess acetone out of a new can before use.
Question.. how do you remove the 2x from that side to keep using the 2k in the whole piece?
Great video
great video
Good video brother 2k clear it is
Does Rustoleum 2x White High Gloss work with 2k clear? And if so how long should I wait before spraying clear on it so it doesn't ruin the paint?
I had a MASSIVE wrinkle problem spraying 2k clear over rustoleum advanced formula gloss black
How long can it be stored in the freezer?
Hi
For how long can be stored in frezer???
Thanks
Wow what a difference
Excellent vídeo and tips .
Thanks hope it wasn’t too boring. Trying to pack it with information without it being boring. I know a lot of people get bored of my videos so if you have any tips let me know.
@@JamesDguy nah man , it was really good , You are inspiring me to get me into car paint and stuff
If they consider ur vid boring simply means they not interested in learning supmn I love d explanation an amin Jamaica
looks like the 2X reacted with the surface for a wrinkle finish... probably need to paint directly after or much later after...
Great video man. I have to re do my civic so I am going to look Into this
How long will 2K last in freezer? How long will it prolong being able to use?
What about a scratch test ? Is there a big difference ?
Aha, so the freezer will prolong the useful life of that 2 part can process. Good to know because in my hobby, you never use the whole can. And many have said the can didn't work on the 2nd try. So now we'll see how the wife reacts to spray paint in the freezer. :)
Also, yes, that was another idea I was thinking before you said it. You would want to buy the 2K clear in bundles to save money.
Yes it saves a lot of money buying in bulk but you can get 1 can for $20 on eBay or Amazon
Ya, you need to apply the 2x as if it was another coat of the same paint, if you let it dry too long or it's too hot it will go crinkle mode. Also, I'm going to try the Crystal Clear HardHat version on top of the 2x clear, once it's hardened up for like half the year, then wet sand and see what happens.
half the year made me lol
To me it's like the 2K is meant to bring a glossy finish to anything you spray it on while the 2X is just if you spray it like three four maybe five times then I'll give it that real glossy finish but I see you only sprayed the 2K I think it was one or two times but either way the 2K looks better but I think at the end of the day for the price I would pay for the 2X because of price wise and if you spray it like me I like to spray it 4 or 5 times and I think it would bring out that glossy finish I'm looking for but thank you for the video
Goooood video
would be nice to see a solvent test
if you put it on the engine, how do they do in the heat of the engine bay?
How long will paint last in the freezer cheers Graham
You need to give the new Dupli color 1k Clear a try and see how that works.
Recently had to touch up a door on my SUV so wanted to use spraymax 2k clear so i didn’t have to drag out HVLP stuff. Worst paint job i ever did had lots of orange peel like yours does and needed almost 3 cans to get full coverage on full door. In the end sanded down then sprayed it right with my HVLP. Surprised at how bad my experience was with it, which surprised me because so many seem to have good results?
i use them all the time and get good results no sanding needed maybe you should try and warm it up
You did something wrong this stuff work so good
If it's too hot rhe paint will.dry too fast and make a nightmare.
Love that color. I painted my brake calipers they same color
The 2 K clear is a great product.
Careful putting spray cans in "hot" water. I've had them end up swelling almost to the point of bursting. I'd suggest using warm water and or don't let them sit too long.
Wear pants with pockets and put them in and walk around and do some of your prep work for 30 minutes with it still in your pocket and that'll do the job.
Mannnn i been trying to get my truck looking right for a while lol I got all the paint wonder how much 2k ill need for extended chevy obs ... or can I drive it down to you and have you paint it?
protip : next time you change your plug wires - cut your old set and use them as masking dummies for all future valve cover paint jobs.
When you dont mask the tube holes or the surfaces the rubber boots touch -eventually the paint flakes and could drop down the hole of shame.
That paint mixer3000 tho 😂
Will storing the 2k clear in the freezer actually work for later on use ?
rustoleum hardhat high performance clearcoat grey tall can is good
The only thing the rust-oleum might work on long term is like wall art thats inside, protected and out of the sun/elements. It's strictly a super low consumer "diy homeowner" grade. 💯👌
Noted
Great video bro...what happened to AJ haven't seen him on the show..hope he's doing well
He is just in Kansas right now but he is doing good
Spray-max is the Best, hands down!
I recently started painting parts with 2x and was so mad at that wrinkling thing it happened alot.
You can avoid that by how you spray it (one very light tack coat, then a couple "Wet" coats on top) but all clear is going to have a slight bit of orange peel, regardless. Wet sanding and cutting/polishing will remove it, even on the 2x. Never use a cheap Rustoleum product on actual cars, though.. that stuff is for household items or model cars. 2K only for real cars or motorcycles, etc. It's much harder and will withstand against rock chips, etc. EDIT: I think the wrinkling was more-so a reaction to the paint, not orange peel.. I got confused there. If that's the case then yeah, there's no fixing that without stripping it and starting over. Cheap Rustoleum stuff can definitely do that but again remember he's comparing a $5 product to a $20 product.
I have a short sample video on my channel of the cheap Rustoleum 2x on a model car and it look's similar to how the 2K does in this video, even before wet sanding, cutting & polishing. He didn't do a very good job of spraying the 2x, in my opinion. Seems like it was done on purpose for the video.
@@hhastewhat would you recommend for carbon fiber parts?
Nice job bro what a difference i guess you get what you pay for
comparo of spraymax 2k vs spraymax 1k ? or 2x vs 1k
Holy crap. I can’t believe how many people didn’t know that 2x is 2 times….😂😂😂
I was about to comment this.. Ppl didn't go to school I guess
Welcome to the "Pushed Forward" generation. (UBER SAD)
Just finished painting two bike fenders with the 2k Matt and am very disappointed. It doesn't flow very well and ends up having a rough finish like very small orange peel. Not only that but I got down to one third of the paint still in the can and it started sputtering like the can was almost empty. The gloss might be much different to work with but I wouldn't recommend the matt clear to anyone. I might as well of thrown twenty-five bucks in the air!
two X (TIMES) MORE COVERAGE is what RUSTOLEUM meant by the labeling.
How does one feel about duplicolor premium acrylic gloss clear? Anyone use it anyways?
save yourself 16 minutes.
2k is the obvious winner and prepwork is the key to a good finish.
No matter which clear you use...Minimum of 4 coats or you have nothing left to color sand and buff...
Hey quick question in your video with color shifting the civic engine bay, is it possible if I were to paint my whole car with ot and apply a 2k clear coat over it?
yes
The 2x is crap. Ive tried many times like yourself and it was always a let down. Great video.
can you do a review on the dupli color clear coat?
I sure can
@@JamesDguy thank you for the reply ! I just want to let you know i follow your videos and painted my bumper on my 2013 BMW 550i m sport and it came out amazing, took the extra step to wet sand on each base coat tho but if it wasn't for your great videos I wouldn't have been able to do so. Thank you Moore!
btw , im aiming to paint my next daily Rustoleum Smoke Grey after seeing how clean the civic came out. Any suggestions on how to mix? im going to try to paint it with a harbor freight paint gun instead of the rattle cans
What does spraying acetone do?
How much the 2k clear cost per can, in class no audio lol
Jus a pity these stuff no readily available here in Jamaica
Them deh yah except the 2k clear which you can buy for $24 0n amazon. Vht. And 2x deh yah
The epoxy 2 Komponente (german for component) product will also be far more durable.
How do either of those clear coats hold up with the engine heat?
Both hold up fine i have done them before no issue with either just the 2X isn’t the best clear out there for gloss
Yo what was that track in the background ? Sounded sick
Sickening...
