Is clear code the same as lauquer?

u-pol easy gloss white is by far the best no need to clear coat just 3-4 coats comes out more glossy than halford's and doesn't go yellow like halford's paint over time as it is u.v resistant. It's also cheaper at £6 for a 600ml tin.

dont get any paint or primer from halfords at all no matter u-pol or not thye rob you blind.

go to your local paint supplier for the trade and ask for u-pol high build primer and u-pol easy gloss white at trade. you should get both for around 6 quid a tin i think the primer on its own is about 14 quid at halfords.

Completely agree with the above don't buy paint or primer from Halfrauds.

you can get a decent sand blast and powder coat for 100 quid mate will be a better finish then any spray and it will get rid of most curbing
