Imron is just a brand name. Many of the paint company make single stage
urethane paints that do the same thing. The urethane paints were used several
years ago before the base clear coat paints arrived on the scene. I like the
premium line base clear coats because they are so much easier to work with. If
you get a run or sage, it can easly be sanded and buffed out without repainting
the entire section. Also, base clears are so much easier to repair. You just
blend into the existing paint and burn in the clear top coat. It is very hard
to see where you made the repairs and is less expensive in the long run. Clear
coats will buff to a mirror like finish and Imron is very hard to buff
expecially if is has cured for any length of time. With clear coats, if you
get a little lint or dirt in the top coat you simply sand the clear top coat
with ultra-fine sand paper and buff. We do some antiques and street cars and
we will put as high as four
or five coats of clear and DA sand them with 1500 grit, 2000 grit and then
3000 grit and buff several times to get the desired finish. Ultra fine sanding
takes out all the orange peel and any contamiants that settle in the clear top
coat.
