No, acrylic and enamels are 1k paints. They work OK for clear coating, but their durability and chemical resistance are non existent. 2k coatings are a resin and a hardener, generally polyurethanes. 


2K is not a paint type but refers to the fact that he paint system is a 2 part system ie needing a hardener to make the paint go off. 

yes Acrylic and Enamel paints are 1k paint and dry throw solvent evaporation but its Acrylic Enamel which is a two paint and most people in the car restoration industry dont like it as they say it looks plastic .

im not 100% sure but i thought Polyurethane paints were mainly primers. where as Acrylic Enamel paints were primer, direct gloss topcoats and clear coats
