This is fantastic information and I am just starting to experiment with the Scenix SSR clear. I'm really hoping to use the matte for hard hats and if it works the way you demonstrated hopefully I won't have to worry about it chipping or peeling off an unsanded surface. My first experiment was with a metal water bottle and it peeled right off. After removing it I scuffed the surface with a red scotch bright pad and it's holding extremely well. I'll give the hard hat 12 hours to completely cure and see how that does. I'm only mixing up 4 oz at a time and have to say that there's a good chance I'm adding a little too much of the 4015 cross-linker. 2% of 4 oz is such a small amount it's difficult to measure. Sigh! Anyway, thanks Simon!
SO easy to listen to your vids!! No hype just pure facts. Wicked product. Thanks to you I've got some on order...been looking for a clear for polished aluminium wheels! 💦🔥🤙
Brilliant helpful and superbly demonstrated Simon, thank you. So they finally made a true automotive clear then! I thought the previous ones were close, clearly this is the next step I guess :) There are loads of final 2k clear coats for cars etc out there, how does this compare on final finish quality and price? Would you still recommend cars etc are still cleared with the old 2k products or is this up to that job? I can see lots of use for that matt and adhesion, your tank looks simply stunning and very 'now' in style. Anyway, thank you for the tutorial, Regards Phil
Thanks Phil. Personally if I were to paint a car/van in full gloss then I would use 2k clear. However I would have no hesitation in doing a complete respray in matte with the new SCENIX.
That’s an awesome clear! Unfortunately it looks like Createx has stopped producing it. Have you tried the new 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear? Curious if you have and how it compares. Thank you.
Great video. Clearly another product for me to add to my arsenal. I’d like to try this as an adhesion promoter on stainless steel tumbler prior to metal flake mixed in with a 2K Intercoat. Any negative effects to this combination?
Wow, had to watch the video twice to take it all in. Fantastic product. I do favour a Matt finish for bike tanks etc, so this stuff is petrol resistant and water based? And can be buffed to a high gloss with a machine? Gonna have to get myself some of this, especially for the the gloss Matt contrast stuff. Can the Matt be used over gloss ssr to get the contrast? Cheers
I would also like to know how this would hold up on helmets. I don't have the possibility to use 2k clear and have struggled to find any non toxic clears that are up to scratch
Thanks for the video. Will this work well as an adhesion promoter for plastic or lexan? Also if it is scored with a blade by accident while doing graphics will it still adhere ? Thanks in advance
Scenix SSR Clear is an excellent adhesion promoter, Createx's best actually. It'll adhere all day long if scored, but for water-proof and chemical resistance the score should be repaired, but it has adhesion way beyond a coating failure due to cutting into it. Thank you. createxcolors.com/scenix-mural-theme-paint.html
Simon, Thanks, ready to purchase couple of questions 1-2pac means the same as urethane 2k like HOK uc35? 2-build properties if used over ground alum. panels? Respectfully,Bill
Hi Bill. Im not sure I fully understand your question. 1 pack or 1k means the product dries irrespective of a hardener or catalyst. A 2 pack or 2k means it requires a hardner etc.
Simon, As I thought. Insight on build properties? To me it seems it will be problematic if used in applications over ground metal. Any tests yet? Thank you,Bill
All this American jargonese! It's a TWO part CLEAR lacquer with a catalyst to harden it. All the American style "blind them with science" is just rubbish. Try talking like that in a Belfast body shop and they will laugh.
These are just great! Wish this was a weekly channel.

the matt gloss thing is crazy. this product range is fantastic

Thanks! That means a lot. The clears are available for immediate dispatch from our Airbrush Paint Direct shop. (the link is below the video)
This is awesome! Can't wait to try it! Great video, Simon!
Thanks Pontus!
Unbelievably Brilliant. I love learning from you.
That means a lot Hugh. Thanks!
I don't see it in european sites though. Impressive resilience - bike tanks are much exposed. You made a fine presentation man - thanks.
this is so pretty

Painting & customizing my own whip!
That’s an awesome clear! Unfortunately it looks like Createx has stopped producing it. Have you tried the new 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear? Curious if you have and how it compares. Thank you.
James the UVLS is a newer and improved version of the Scenix. I have demoed it in some of my recent videos.
Wow!
Great video. Clearly another product for me to add to my arsenal.

Any negative effects to this combination?
How did you cut( pen knife ) masking tape from the body without any cut marks.....
How flexible is it? Could you do a video on its flexible it is on polycarbonate?
Can I use this on my plastic models,using my airbrush?
Can it be used with the rest of the product line like you would a urethane? Mix with a Candy2o or even a Wicked?

Thanks vmaxcec. Yes you could spray Matte over gloss SSR but I would cut and buff first.
Thnx for this wonderful vido
your very welcome.
where i can get your products
I can't seem to find this ssr clear on your website. Is it available yet?
Looks like a great product; what paint types can this be applied to, obviously waterbased but is it OK on solvent based?
Trev Seaton yes, Scenix SSR Clears can go over solvent based paints without scuffing
Hi can you use this clear for helmets.
I would also like to know how this would hold up on helmets.
I don't have the possibility to use 2k clear and have struggled to find any non toxic clears that are up to scratch
What are those modes your painting called

Looks good - is it a good clear for flakes/metallics?
personally I would only use a high build 2k urethane for heavy flakes. Or Sealer clear 6000 if you want to apply flakes as a base coat.
Simon,

can be used over ground aluminium.
Any update on UK availability?
Hi Trev. They will be available before Christmas. Thanks!
Just ordered some from the SM UK website today :)
All this American jargonese! It's a TWO part CLEAR lacquer with a catalyst to harden it.

No body talks like that here in the states. And "2K" is german.
