Trying Out a UV Clear Coat – Will the Blend Work?

Описание: Testing Carlac's UV us Tesla Cure Clear Coat | Wing Panel Blend with UV Fade Out Thinners

In this video, I test out Carlac’s UV us Tesla Cure clear coat on a wing panel, using a blend technique with their UV fade out thinners. This is a technical breakdown of how it applied and performed compared to traditional 2K clear.

Application Process:
1st coat: Fine, close coat with ~30 seconds flash-off

2nd coat: Nice even wet coat

3rd coat: I added a third due to gun sputtering issues – interested to see if this impacts performance

Flash-off time: 3–4 minutes

Curing: 2 minutes under UV lamp, then ready for polishing

Despite some trouble with my spray gun (my own fault for not cleaning it correctly), this gave me a chance to see how the clear coat handled real-world imperfections like dirt and sputtering. It sanded and polished really well – no worse than 2K clear in terms of workability.

✅ The blend line with the UV fade out thinners was seamless
✅ The UV clear went on beautifully – very comparable to traditional 2K
❌ The dirty finish let me see how it buffs out (surprisingly well)

This panel will now sit outside for a few months to test weather durability. I’ve seen other UV clears fail long-term, so I always like to test new products before using them on customer cars. First impressions are strong – let’s see how it holds up.
