Paul,

I'd reach out to Lloyd and ask him what he is using.

I looked through Chick's thread and did not see anything definitive as to what they used in his 68.

Can't wait to see the continued progress!

I use RM UNO HD SC804 for parts and components that call for 30% - 50% gloss, its a single stage product (catalyzed) that is easy to apply (read "forgiving"), durable, and once I learned the technique, I can adjust the gloss on the fly from the base 30% (out of the can) to about 50%. I like RM UNO so much that I've also custom blended it with RM UNO Gloss Black (SC403) for higher gloss finishes up to about 80%.

Thanks Lloyd, what do you use to raise the gloss to 50% ?

Mitch, it was a trial & error process for me (I use a Sata X 5500 RP gun), I spray a slightly heavier second coat (slower pass, full paint volume) at higher pressure (27 vs 25 psi) which brings the gloss up the range to closer to 50%.

Many thanks to all who responded. The UNO HD looks like it might be the ticket. I’m sending your posts via screenshot to the painter, Lloyd, much appreciated.

Gotcha, heavy second coat.
