Novol N90953 Classic Premium Flow Clearcoat – 2.5 Litre (3:1)
The Novol N90953 Classic Premium Flow is a high-solids (HS), two-component (2K) acrylic clearcoat engineered for technicians who prioritize an effortless, "glass-like" finish. As the name suggests, this clearcoat is formulated with superior flow additives that allow the product to level out perfectly across large panels, virtually eliminating "orange peel" and significantly reducing the time required for post-paint flatting and polishing.
This 2.5-litre unit is the flagship choice for full resprays or high-end restorations where a deep, crystalline gloss is required over solvent-based or waterborne basecoats.
Key Features & Benefits
- Exceptional Self-Leveling: Advanced "Flow" technology ensures the clearcoat settles into a smooth, uniform film, making it ideal for large horizontal surfaces like hoods and roofs.
- High-Gloss Depth: Provides a brilliant, "wet-look" shine that enhances the metallic flip and color vibrance of the basecoat.
- Rapid Dust-Dry Time: Despite its excellent flow, it skins over quickly to minimize the risk of airborne dust contamination in the spray booth.
- UV & Weather Shield: Contains a high concentration of light stabilizers to prevent yellowing and maintain gloss retention even under harsh environmental exposure.
- User-Friendly Application: Designed to be "forgiving" for the painter, offering a wide application window that resists runs while maintaining a wet edge.
- High Solids Content (HS): Delivers a thick, protective dry film with fewer passes, providing better "build" and stone-chip resistance than standard medium-solid clears.
Application Pro Tips
- The 3:1 Kit: For a complete mixing kit, pair this 2.5L clearcoat with the Novol 65161 Classic Hardener (840ml).
- Mixing Precision: Use the Novol N39699 3:1 Measuring Stick. Accurate measurement is vital to ensure the clearcoat cures to its intended hardness and gloss level.
- The "Half-Coat" Technique: For a perfect finish, apply one light "mist" coat followed by one full "wet" coat. The "Flow" additives will take care of the leveling as the solvents evaporate.
- Temperature Control: Best applied between 18°C and 22°C. If you are spraying in a booth above 25°C, consider adding 5–10% Novol N65511 Thinner to maintain the flow properties.
Why Choose Novol Premium Flow?
While "Scratch Resistant" (CSR) clearcoats focus on hardness, Premium Flow focuses on optics. If you are looking for that "wet-on-wet" look where the paint looks like a sheet of glass, N90953 is the correct choice. It is particularly popular for custom car builders and restoration shops who want to achieve a "Concours" finish with minimal sanding effort.
