SpeedokoteHigh Gloss Jet Black 2K Acrylic Urethane, 3/4 Gallon Black and 1 Quart Activator, SMR-9705-M

After sanding all panels and aluminum trim. I used a 2 part epoxy paint/sealer to cover all the exposed areas. I bought 2 gallons of this speedkote gloss black single stage paint. I am not a painter nor am I a body guy. I read reviews of this product and did my own research on shooting this product. I purchased a hvlp gun I used a 1.7 tip. The paint when opened was clumped up thick at the bottom of the can. I mixed it up which felt like forever. Until the paint was smooth. It appears thick and didn’t drip off my stir stick very well. So I decided to mix up both gallon cans together so I had uniformity. I ended up reducing the paint 20% which sprayed very consistently. I did set my gun up prior to shooting the trailer and tested it out on a test panel to get the pattern I wanted. The product went on very easy. I was able to see the pattern when applying and use an overlap that was consistent. Consistency was key. Both in motion and application as well as product and volume. My air compressor is a 60 gallon and kept up nicely. Painting a large trailer is tricky vs a smaller vehicle. The canvas is massive and has to be done uniformly and consistently. I had paint mixed up ready to go. So I could continuously shoot with minimal interruption. I did 3 coats total and was very pleased with the results. I have never painted anything automotive before. So this was an overwhelming experience overall. But in hind sight preparation was the key to success. I planned out each phase and was ready for any issues. By the time I finished a side of the trailer and worked my way around. The paint on the first side I started with was ready for the next coat. I used every bit of both gallons. So far it’s held up nicely and transformed my dull ugly trailer into something well, not so dull and ugly. I plan on using this product again for another project.

I have a old truck...25yrs...that was definitely needing some attention!! I opted not to spend 50k for a new one and fix this one up. It was starting to get embarrassing to drive. I decided I would put some money into it but not enough to break the bank. I really did not want to spend a fortune on primer and paint either. I called and checked locally and the price was very high. I decided to check Amazon and was surprised on the relatively low price. In trying to keep the budget on the lower side I decided to use a single stage paint. I preferred urethane over the cheaper enamel paint so I decided to give this paint a try. I am so pleased with the results. I am by no means a painting expert ...but with a HF gun i turned out a factory quality paint job. I also I went with the speedkote black over the speedkote primer.i also used the recommended speedkote thinner gor thinning the top coat.Fantastic shine for a single stage paint. I added some new badges chrome trim ect. This truck now looks like a new truck. I just need to finish the back. I dont often write reviews but I was so impressed I had to!!

Very happy with this paint so far. I painted the front clip on my motorhome with no issues what so ever. Paint went on smooth and was very glossy. I sprayed the 2 coats they recommended only because it said to on the can but I going forward I would only spray one and my 3 coats of clear after. I didnt see a benefit to 2 coats of base color. Who knows Im no painter by trade I just paint my own projects.

Ive been using this product for a solid 2 years now mostly on alloy wheels. I personally really like it. Paint dries quick i normally install wheels back on vehicle after a solid 3 hour cure (not to say it cant be done sooner) normally within 30-45 minutes after last coat is sprayed they are dry to the touch testing the tackyness on the tape on tires. I normally shoot a tack coat and a wet coat thats normally enough the gloss is super high. A couple things ive noticed is that it is super thin i got to the point im spraying a black primer on every job so that the single stage covers on its second coat. Its also very thin and is prone to running if you lay it on heavy. Overall this is a great product and will continue using if they make it just a tad bit thicker would be great.

I bought this black gloss single stage paint to blackout my chrome trim on a older mustang. I prepped sanded and used the epoxy primer from speedokote. Wet sanded primer with 400 grit and began painting. No sealer coat was done. I will say, I was kinda shocked at the quality. It was a lot better then I expected. Coverage was great and the shine is like piano black. Really glossy. I sprayed with a anest iwata LPH400 which has a reputation for laying its paint / clear ridiculously smooth.

a-ok a-ok

Highly recommend. Great ok awesome coverage. Fantastic building quality and a true out of the can shine using only 2 thin coats. I painted my Mercedes this summer didn't care for a different brands gun metal color was full so I changed up to jet black gloss and for the price was shocked. It flowed medium wet so can run if not moving fast. But the results says it all. No buffing or clearcoat yet. Straight out of the can is what you see. Btw painted it outside in 50 degree weather. Will definitely buy again and again. Plus shipping was quicker than the other online provider's

Plan on allot of cutting and buffing gingerly.Plan on spraying two coat of clear regardless of it being single stage.Plan on using this for a figure 8 car, or a streetable going to town rig.Plan on base coat clear coat for a serious project.
