Sherwin Williams HS High Hardness Automotive Clear Coat Fast Dry 2K Varnish Hardener Kits

Automotive clear coat is the final protective layer in modern vehicle refinishing systems. SW990 Efficient Fast Dry Clear Coat is formulated with acrylic polyurethane technology to provide a transparent protective film with strong gloss and durability.

Designed for professional body shops, the coating delivers reliable leveling performance and practical drying speed. Once cured, the surface can be sanded and polished easily to obtain a smooth finish suitable for automotive repainting projects.

The coating forms a transparent and glossy surface that improves the visual quality of automotive topcoats.

Its curing profile supports faster workshop turnaround compared with many conventional clear coats.

When sprayed with recommended equipment, the coating levels well and forms a uniform film.

The polyurethane structure provides resistance to weathering, fuel splash, and cleaning chemicals.

This clear coat is suitable for:

• Automotive repair paint systems
• Vehicle refinishing workshops
• Used car refurbishment
• Car dealership repainting departments
• Automotive paint distribution markets

It is compatible with common basecoat systems used in two stage automotive painting processes.

Before spraying the clear coat:

1. Ensure the basecoat layer is fully dried
2. Remove dust using compressed air
3. Clean the surface using a tack cloth
4. Make sure the panel surface is clean and free of contaminants

Proper surface preparation helps ensure strong adhesion and consistent coating appearance.
