Re: MFH Ferrari F40 GTE IGOL Monza 96
Very nice livery
 What the heck is a "1K" clear? What does the "k" stand for?

So this is a 1-part clear called "1k Clear"?! That being said, I have seen Clear written as Klear in many instances. I dare not say it could be a European thing cause I am not aware if true. But Microsol has Kristal Klear, etc... Seems like it would fit?! Alex, where did you find those allusive valve stems?! I have been searching for well over a year for some of those! Have they become available once again?!  Life's irony is great; I was looking into buying this kit tonight as I received the discount email from Steve. I think I need to find a way to scam $300 out of the misses, and then I can build it at any hotel I choose as I will be kicked out the second it arrives. Oh well,.........

 Thanks - I got that far all on my own  I know that 2K aka 2-pack is a two part clear (I have a bell in the back of my memory that one of the first 2-part clear coats was called "2000" or something similar and hence maybe the transcription to 2K as in Y2K). My point is what the heck is a "one part" clear?? What is so special about a 1K clear? What makes it different from TS-13 or Gunze Top Coat for example? (we don't we call them "1K" clears...or do we?) I can't imagine a 1K clear being a pre-mix of a 2K clear because presumably it would harden in transit but maybe I am wrong? I'm getting a whiff of "1k" marketing BS but I'd love to know what the real answer is  opcorn:

Re: MFH Ferrari F40 GTE IGOL Monza 96
Well Steve I appreciated the hilarity but the misunderstanding start from me and my own idio(t)ms. 1K stand exactly for the rounds you'll do with the finger polishing: 999 and your model would be rough yet, 1001 and you'll expose the primer: just count and you'll have a "Alex standard"
J/K. The right name from the "other" Steve is just Lacquer Clear Coat. I thought is an acrilic coat with a very volatile thinner: it cure at touch in seconds (really). I found safe on decals and undercoats. Despite it cure very fast he's a bit sensitive to masking tapes so a couple days of curing should be sufficent to avoid some textures. I polished it at mirror shine after 15 mins from the application, but he lost a bit of glossy then. Used like you use a TS13 (times) is just great. Sorry for the descent Alex, I'll stay sit now

Re: MFH Ferrari F40 GTE IGOL Monza 96
Klutz...I have some of the "1k clear" from Hiroboy, and it is a pre-thinned clear coat, just spray on a wet coat and that's it.
Maybe it isn't perfect, but very good IMHO.

Re: MFH Ferrari F40 GTE IGOL Monza 96
Thank you all.
I actually have no idea where Gio got this "1k" thingy, I just assumed he knows what he is talking about! :-)
