Hi all, I am painting a friends Harley. He bought HD urethane color coat paint but I want to clear the paint so I can wet sand and buff. Do any of you know what brand of urethane clear I can spray over the Harley colors?

Ive spray both Nason selectclear and DuPont HC7776 and 74700S clear over them, I would assume you'd be fine with any 2 part clear

I've used HOK and it worked 'okay'. Was glossy at first, but died back.
It did buff out though.

I've had a problem with it dieing back/hazing a bit, but after talking to my paint rep, he said to let it cure longer(the paint). I did that on the next set I sprayed, and it was fine, he said it was the solvent still coming out that caused the hazing.

Alotta clears will die if ya don't give it good flash times. The most forgiving that has a limited wet on wet flash is the FC clears from Sherwin Williams. The only thing I have found to make it die is reduction. Done that once just to see what happens.

any catalyzed clear will work. PPG or H.O.K. are the best. easy sand and buff and very durable .
