not require flash time between coats or
baking in a paint booth and can be polished within approximately 30 minutes,
delivering outstanding gloss, appearance
and durability, according to the company. With their reduced cycle times, the
clearcoats can improve productivity, increase efficiency and cut energy costs with
no sacrifice in final finish quality.
