Do i need clear coat?

[M@tt]

I'm a bit confused about whether i need clear coat for the car I'm painting.

My local paint store has supplied me with Mipa paints. My car is straight Peugeot black and they've given me a couple of litres of Mipa OC T97 tinter.

I came away and forget to ask whether i needed clear or not, anyone able to shed any light?

Thanks

just looked it up its a base tinter which is 2k paint and is used to mix up certain colours so no laquer needed however it wont be the correct colour/ shade for your car

its also 2k do you have an air fed breathing system as you need one to spray 2k due to isocyanates

 

[M@tt]

Yeah I've got all the breathing gear

My 205 was resprayed a few years back and its done in a peugeot black which is a straight jet black so the tinter will match by all accounts :-)

get the paint code an enquire if it is a straight jet black

 

[M@tt]

My mate who sprayed it said it was a straight black

yeah some blacks are straight off the mixing scheme like that

id really go back and ask for some tech sheets on mixing ratios etc , you need to be clued up what you are doing and using the right hardner etc

i've got the tech sheet and the appropriate hardners for it but it didn't mention about clearcoat and i'd forgot to ask.

I was pretty sure it didn't require it but just wanted to double check

Thanks again

can i use this Mipa OC T97 to tint some Lechler 29107 Epoxy Primer? Its been tinted Grey but i could do with it tinting black

rule of thumb. If you have to thin it you have to clear it.

He will have to thin 2k paint. Mixing ratios should be supplied with paint.

I wouldn't mix you paint with the primer as different brands have slighlty different chemical make up it may react or hardner may not d full compatible with paint
