I picked up a urethane 2K clear coat set from Gravity Colors USA. I really had some nice results with Gravity products, and I especially like this set because I can buy it in a small amount to see if I really like this kind of clear coat. This will be my first time I will be trying a urethane clear coat on one of my models. I plan to use this type of clear coat on builds that have a fair amount of the surface covered with decals since I was told urethane will not harm water slide decals. I have seen some really nice work done with urethane clears at some of the model car shows. If you decide to give this stuff a try, you should make sure you thoroughly clean out your airbrush immediately after you are finished. In addition, you should also spray thinner through your airbrush frequently between coats, because if it hardens you won't be able to dissolve it with regular hobby lacquer thinner or any other common solvents that you would normally use on lacquer's or enamels. Finally, you really need to use a mask when spraying this stuff because it can be fairly toxic. Since the activator and clear have to be mixed, I plan to buy a small digital scale in order to get the proper ratios when I combine them.
