  • Aye I think everyone gets confused, as I know it...

    1K single stage is like the old cellulose, colour and gloss you just spray on after reducing.

    I think we are talking about 2K single stage which is again like cellulose but also requires hardener/activator.

    And all we want is 2K two stage, aka base/clear coat.

  • What he said ^

  • So what exactly is the problem with modern 2K? Is it something to do with application & drying characteristics?

    My first ever real job was developing paints for industry many moons ago, making paints from scratch & testing them on various surfaces & for different applications. There shouldn't be any reason you can't modify twin-packs to behave as you want. IIRC using different activator/thinner ratios will change how paint applies & dries
