I am a painter by trade, so I would always recommend spraying with a paint gun, but under your circumstances I can understand. I have always had troubles with spray can clear. ever since I was a kid painting models and what not. Most spray clears are air dry only except for 2k clears. This means that a lot of solvents can soften it. Even some higher temps can make it tacky again. It would never get the shine that I was looking for even if I tried to buff it out. I have not used this product, but I have talked to some people who have. Its Eastwoods 2k spray can clear. They say that it is sprayed on just like regular 2 part auto clear. Since it is a chemical cure it cant be softened again unless you use a paint stripper. It can be sanded and buffed out to shine. But like every clear 2k or otherwise, dont put it on too heavy as it will run, lock in bubbles and can also dull it to a point that buffing cant help. Im not affiliated with eastwood and like I said I havent used it, but from what I hear its worth a shot.

Maybe it is the way you use the spraycans? I use Motip and get good results with it...
Keep in mind that you have to apply multiple soft coats (not one big coat at once) sand it inbetween, add clearcoat again in a few time sand and then polish...
I recently used 2K primer and worked out great! it is much "stronger" than 1K spraycans. I'll upload a video soon on my Youtube-channel about my experience with 
that 2K spraycan

Hi guys,

I recently came across a post by a member here who mentioned 2k clear coat spray but in a can. I searched the web, even youtube and came across some pretty amazing stuff. From what I've seen, there's absolutely no competition between the normal aerosol clear coat spray can and the 2K. Some 2K's even claimed that they had 4 times the pressure of a normal aerosol clears. Not sure how true that is but anyway... I haven't got the funds to afford a proper airgun or an air compressor so I'm looking for cheaper alternatives. I've been working with Dupli-Colour clear spray can and I've gotten very bad results. I can never get a full gloss. EVER. Sometimes I even get a matte finish... Anyway, I just wanted to ask you guys whether the 2K clear coat spray cans are THAT good compared to the conventional one component ones, and maybe you can recommend a brand to me. Bear in mind that I'm not in the UK and it'll be splendid if I could order it online.

Regards,
Stan
