NOVOL 2K clear coats for professional automotive refinishing
NOVOL 2K clear coats are two-component clear finishes developed for professional automotive repair and refinishing. Choosing the correct clear coat affects final gloss, application behaviour, drying time and the durability of the completed paint system.
The NOVOL range includes clear coats with different application and drying characteristics, allowing the system to be matched to anything from smaller repairs to complete panels and larger refinishing jobs.
Which NOVOL clear coat should you choose?
Consider the size of the repair, available drying time, workshop temperature, required gloss level and desired resistance when selecting a clear coat.
A fast-drying system can be useful for small or time-sensitive repairs, while larger panels may benefit from a longer application window and controlled flow. Always follow the technical data sheet for the specific NOVOL clear coat.
Fast-drying NOVOL clear coats
Fast-drying NOVOL clear coats are designed for refinishing work where short process times are important. They can be particularly useful for spot repairs and smaller body panels.
Actual drying performance depends on temperature, hardener selection, film build and the drying method used, so the manufacturer's technical instructions should always be followed.
Scratch-resistant and durable clear coats
Selected NOVOL clear coat systems are designed to provide improved scratch and mechanical resistance. These can be useful when both high gloss and increased durability are required from the finished coating.
Scratch-resistant does not mean scratch-proof. Mechanical damage can still occur, but the appropriate system can provide greater resistance to everyday wear than a conventional finish.
NOVOL NOVAKRYL clear coat systems
The NOVOL NOVAKRYL range includes professional 2K clear coat systems with different drying, application and performance characteristics.
Select the appropriate NOVAKRYL product according to the complete refinishing process rather than relying on drying speed or price alone.
Using NOVOL 2K clear coat with hardener
NOVOL 2K clear coats must be mixed with the specified compatible hardener before application. Once the components are combined, chemical curing begins and the mixed material has a limited pot life.
Mixing ratio, hardener selection, thinning, spray gun setup, coat structure and drying conditions can vary between products. Always follow the technical data sheet for the individual NOVOL system.
NOVOL clear coats for small and large repairs
A spot repair can require different clear coat characteristics from a complete door, bonnet or full vehicle refinishing job. Fast curing may be the priority for smaller repairs, while flow and working time can become more important on larger areas.
As this category expands, it will include additional NOVOL clear coat options for different professional refinishing requirements.
Polishing NOVOL clear coat
High-gloss 2K clear coats can generally be refined by sanding and polishing after sufficient curing where permitted by the specific product instructions.
When correcting dust inclusions, minor surface defects or texture, allow the coating to cure as specified and use an appropriate sanding and polishing system for the clear coat.
Frequently Asked Questions about NOVOL clear coats
Which NOVOL clear coat should I choose?
Choose according to repair size, required drying speed, application conditions and the level of durability required. Always check the technical data sheet and use the recommended hardener for the specific product.
What does NOVOL 2K clear coat mean?
A 2K clear coat is a two-component system that must be mixed with the correct hardener before application. The chemical reaction between the components creates the cured final film.
Does NOVOL offer fast-drying clear coats?
Yes. NOVOL offers fast-drying 2K clear coat systems designed for applications where shorter repair times are important.
Does NOVOL offer scratch-resistant clear coat?
Yes. Selected NOVOL clear coat systems are designed for increased scratch resistance. This improves mechanical durability but does not make the coating completely scratch-proof.
Can NOVOL 2K clear coat be polished?
High-gloss NOVOL 2K clear coats can generally be sanded and polished after sufficient curing where permitted by the individual product instructions. Always match the correction process to the specific clear coat system.
