Glasurit P-C-30 High Gloss 2K Automotive Clear Coat Top Coat Direct Bake Car

When the final repair must look smooth, deep and reflective—not merely painted—the clearcoat process becomes critical. P-C-30 High Gloss Clearcoat is a transparent two-component acrylic polyurethane coating developed for professional automotive refinishing operations that value surface leveling, film fullness, fast process capability and premium visual delivery.

After curing, P-C-30 is designed to form a clear, glossy layer over the automotive basecoat. The recommended dry-film thickness of 40–60 μm supports a fuller appearance, while its flow characteristics help create a naturally smooth surface with less dependence on extensive correction polishing.

The system can be adjusted for different workshop environments by selecting P-H-410 fast, P-H-430 standard or P-H-440 slow hardener, together with P-R-110, P-R-120 or P-R-130 compatible thinner.

For luxury vehicles, dealership delivery, restorations and customized color projects, customers often judge a repair by reflected light, surface flatness and gloss uniformity. P-C-30 is designed for this type of visual-quality target.

A small repair should not consume a full-day production slot. With suitable short-wave infrared equipment, P-C-30 can reach a post-processing condition in approximately 8 minutes, helping workshops move repaired panels toward final finishing quickly.

Complete vehicle repainting requires enough time to maintain overlap, wet edge and panel-to-panel consistency. P-C-30 offers up to 2 hours of pot life at 20°C, making it suitable for larger paintwork operations when combined with an appropriate hardener and thinner selection.

The 1.5-coat process is intended for repair centers that need to reduce unnecessary waiting between spraying and baking. It can help shorten process steps when work bays and spray booths are under pressure.

The transparent finish is designed to reveal the depth of the underlying color layer, including metallic and pearl basecoat effects. The resulting surface has a high-gloss, clean and polished visual character.

The recommended film thickness helps produce a richer, more substantial clearcoat layer. A properly applied full film can improve the visual impression of paint depth and reduce the risk of an overly thin finish.

P-C-30 is designed to level naturally during application and curing. When spraying conditions are controlled correctly, this helps achieve a smoother panel appearance with reduced orange peel and less polishing demand.

The painter can select fast, standard or slow hardener and thinner combinations based on the repair size, ambient temperature, booth conditions and required production speed.

Choose the process that fits the job:

• 1.5-coat direct-bake method for efficient workflow
• 2-coat method for conventional application preference

Final material selection should follow the applicable technical process, temperature and local operating conditions.

The clearcoat will amplify what is underneath it. Before spraying P-C-30, ensure the basecoat has flashed correctly and is free from dirt, sanding dust, fingerprints, silicone and oil contamination.

Use a mixing cup and prepare:

• 100% P-C-30 clearcoat
• 50% compatible hardener
• 10% compatible thinner

This equals a 2:1 clearcoat-to-hardener volume ratio plus 10% thinner.

Mix completely, then strain the product before spraying.

For an even, high-gloss surface, use an HVLP gun with a 1.3–1.4 mm nozzle at 2.0 bar inlet pressure. Poor atomization, excessive gun distance or uneven overlap can reduce leveling and gloss.

Apply a light initial mist coat, then immediately apply a full wet coat. No flash-off is required between these passes, and the part can move directly to the baking stage.

Apply two full coats, allowing approximately 3 minutes of flash-off between coats.

• Air dry: 10 hours at 20°C
• Bake: 30 minutes at 60°C panel temperature
• Short-wave IR: approximately 8 minutes

For fast IR operation, P-A-920 accelerator may be used where approved by the specified paint process.

Do not polish a hot panel. Allow the coating to cool fully to room temperature. If necessary, remove minor dust inclusions with fine sanding and perform controlled polishing.

9. Is P-C-30 a high-solid automotive clearcoat?

P-C-30 is positioned as a high-gloss 2K acrylic polyurethane automotive clearcoat and is applied to achieve a recommended dry-film thickness of 40–60 μm.

2. Can P-C-30 be used for a full-car repaint?

Yes. Its 2-hour pot life at 20°C and selectable hardener/thinner options make it suitable for full vehicle refinishing when used according to the relevant paint process.

3. What is the fastest P-C-30 drying option?

Short-wave infrared curing can take approximately 8 minutes under suitable conditions. P-A-920 accelerator may be used where applicable to the approved process.

4. Does the 1.5-coat method require flash-off?

No. The 1.5-coat method consists of a light mist coat followed immediately by a wet coat, without intercoat flash-off or flash-off before baking.

5. What is the difference between P-H-410, P-H-430 and P-H-440?

They are fast, standard and slow hardener options. The selection depends on job size, temperature, booth conditions and the desired working speed.

6. What should I do if dust particles appear after curing?

Allow the surface to cool completely. Then lightly sand the affected area with fine abrasive paper and polish it carefully.

7. What package sizes are available?

P-C-30 is supplied in 5 L metal square cans, and compatible hardeners are supplied in 2.5 L metal square cans. Each carton contains three cans.

8. Can distributors order hardener and thinner together with P-C-30?

Yes. Wholesale buyers can combine clearcoat, compatible hardeners, reducers and related automotive refinish materials based on stock and export requirements.
