P-C-40 2:1 Acrylic Scratch Resistant Automotive Clearcoat High Gloss Car

A vehicle repair can be structurally correct and color matched, yet still fail customer inspection if the finish has dry spray, orange peel, weak gloss, pinholes or early wash swirls. The clearcoat is the final visible layer—and it determines how the repaired vehicle looks under showroom lighting, daylight and close-range inspection.

Glasurit P-C-40 is a professional 2K anti-scratch clearcoat used with P-H-440 slow hardener. It is intended for automotive refinish work requiring a transparent, high-gloss and visually deep finish. The system is especially relevant for high-value vehicle repairs, large-panel spraying, complete refinishing and paintwork where improved flow time is preferred.

The standard process is simple: mix 2:1 by volume, add 10% compatible thinner, apply two coats, then cure at ambient temperature or bake at 60°C.

After repeated washing and wiping, ordinary clear coats can show swirl marks and fine scratches that reduce the sharpness of reflected light.

P-C-40 solution: A dense, resilient crosslinked clear film designed to offer improved resistance to light everyday scratching and washing-related micro-abrasion.

Hoods, roofs and side panels can be challenging when a clear coat flashes too quickly. The result may include dry edges, poor leveling, orange peel or visible overlaps.

P-C-40 solution: The P-H-440 slow hardener supports a longer, more controlled working window for large-area application under suitable workshop conditions.

A low-transparency clear layer can reduce the visual effect of metallic flakes and pearl pigments.

P-C-40 solution: Its clear, high-gloss finish is designed to preserve color clarity and create stronger visual depth over compatible basecoat systems.

Body shops need reliable production scheduling for same-day or next-day handover.

P-C-40 solution: The product offers two curing paths—10 hours at 20°C or 30 minutes at 60°C—to support different body-shop workflows.

Best for repaired exterior panels on luxury sedans, SUVs, sports cars and high-value customer vehicles.

Typical process:

Basecoat application → Correct flash-off → P-C-40 / P-H-440 mixing → Two clear coats → 60°C baking → Cooling, inspection and controlled polishing if required.

Suitable for custom wrap-replacement paintwork, premium color changes and full-body refinishing that need consistent gloss across many connected panels.

Key advantage: The slow hardener option can help painters maintain a more even wet edge during broad-area spraying.

For display cars, collector vehicles, dealership delivery preparation and custom projects where paint depth, reflection quality and surface presentation matter.

For professional spray booths capable of controlled 60°C curing, the 30-minute bake schedule helps move finished vehicles efficiently toward inspection and delivery.

1. A Complete Clearcoat-and-Hardener Combination

   The product is supplied as a matched P-C-40 clear coat and P-H-440 slow hardener system. This supports more consistent mixing and application compared with unverified component combinations.

2. Designed for High-Gloss Automotive Finishes

   The cured surface is intended to provide high reflectivity, transparency and a fuller visual film appearance after the recommended two-coat application.

3. Practical for Workshops and Distributors

   The 5 L clear coat and 2.5 L hardener packaging aligns with the 2:1 mixing ratio, making it practical for professional workshop stock and refinish-material distribution.

4. Supports Multiple Climate and Job Conditions

   Compatible fast, standard or slow thinner can be selected at 10% addition according to temperature, booth airflow and panel size.

5. Suitable for High-Value Basecoat Colors

   When applied over a properly prepared and flashed compatible basecoat, P-C-40 can help showcase metallic, pearl and special-effect color systems.

For the stated paint system, P-C-40 is designed to match Glasurit 90 Series basecoat application procedures.

1. Check the Basecoat Before Clearing

   Do not apply clearcoat over a dusty, oily, poorly flashed or contaminated basecoat. Confirm that the basecoat is uniform and ready for clearing according to the relevant basecoat procedure.

2. Measure the Mix Accurately

   Use a clean mixing cup and follow the volume ratio exactly:

   P-C-40 Clear Coat:P-H-440 Hardener=2:1

   Then add 10% compatible thinner.

   Mix thoroughly and strain the material before spraying.

3. Choose the Correct Thinner Speed

   • Choose fast thinner for lower-temperature conditions and small repairs where permitted by the process.

   • Choose standard thinner for normal booth conditions.

   • Choose slow thinner for warm conditions, large panels or jobs that need longer flow time.

   Final thinner selection should always follow the relevant product system and environmental conditions.

4. Adjust Spray Equipment

   Use an HVLP spray gun with:

   • Nozzle: 1.3–1.4 mm

   • Air pressure: 2.0 bar

   Test the fan pattern and atomization before applying material to the vehicle.

5. Spray Two Uniform Coats

   Apply two controlled coats with even overlap. Flash for 3–5 minutes between coats. Avoid attempting to achieve all film build in one heavy coat.

6. Select the Curing Route

   For regular ambient workflow, allow 10 hours at 20°C.

   For accelerated booth workflow, bake for 30 minutes at 60°C.

   Allow the vehicle to cool before final inspection, assembly or polishing.

1. Is P-C-40 a one-component or two-component clearcoat?

   It is a two-component (2K) automotive clearcoat. It must be mixed with P-H-440 hardener before application.

2. What is the P-C-40 and P-H-440 mixing ratio?

   Mix 2 parts P-C-40 clearcoat with 1 part P-H-440 slow hardener by volume, then add 10% compatible thinner.

3. Which spray gun setting is recommended?

   Use an HVLP gun with a 1.3–1.4 mm nozzle and set the spray pressure to approximately 2.0 bar.

4. How long should I flash between clearcoat coats?

   Allow 3–5 minutes flash-off between the first and second coat.

5. How long does the clearcoat take to dry?

   It requires approximately 10 hours at 20°C for ambient curing, or 30 minutes at 60°C for bake curing.

6. Why is a slow hardener used in this system?

   The slow hardener supports a more controlled application window and is particularly useful for larger panels, full resprays and conditions where additional flow time is beneficial.

7. Can this product be used for custom metallic or pearl paint jobs?

   Yes. When used over a properly applied compatible basecoat, the clear transparent finish is suitable for showing the depth and effect of metallic and pearl colors.

8. Is P-C-40 available for wholesale or export orders?

   Yes. It is suitable for automotive paint distributors, importers, body-shop suppliers and wholesale buyers. Packaging, export documents and order configuration can be discussed based on market requirements.
