How to apply car paint to a painted surface? Are there differences in the work with varnishes MS, HS and UHS? Which varnish is better and why? And also, what should you pay attention to and what is less important? We will discuss this in the article.

 

About car paints and their types:

 

The car paint - is a composite of synthetic resins and solvents that protects the painted surface against corrosion or mechanical stress after application, can reduce the effects of ultraviolet, harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures and prevent premature aging of the dye. And it gives the surface a beautiful glossy effect, which improves the decorative properties.

Car paints subdivided into:

UHS / VHS / HD - difficult compositions that are only used in large specialized car services and workshops, as they require high temperature drying;

HS (High Solids) is 50-70% synthetic resins, 20-40% hardener, 10-15% solvent;

MS (medium solids) is 35-45% synthetic resins, 15-25% hardener, 30-50% solvent;

1K (LS) - the solvent content is more than 50%, these types of lacquers are sold in spray cans.

 

 

We leave UHS / VHS / HD for professionals. For the full work in your personal garage or a small car repair shop you have to choose between MS and HS. If the working area is small, compositions marked with LS are very suitable.

You can find many car paints in the  range. High Solids: professional HS Spezial acrylic paint, reliable MOBIHEL V5 and cheap Farbid PREMIUM VHS are popular.

In addition, there is a wide selection of medium weight category: economical, as the name implies, NOVOL Economy, offers long-term protection of MOBIHEL MS 2 + 1 and designed for "metal" and "pearly" solid Clear Top MS.

 

All of these car paints have worked well in real working conditions - they have predictable behavior, are well applied and have a high gloss. Much depends on the personal preferences of the master and each of the lacquers presented in the store sparepartstore24.co.uk can do the work efficiently and for a long time.
