Hi BondoKing, Barry has explained the same thing to me as you did. I understand that the MS and Universal are the "Cadillac" of clears, but it sounds like the Euro is amazing. I have sprayed several clears as well, from brand A-Z and never had a failure with any of them.. I guess the question is how good does it have to be? Some were under $100.00 a setup and others closer to $400.00..I'm often wish I was a chemist and has access to an expensive laboratory. I would love to know what's in the $400.00 clear as apposed to the $100.00 clear. I often think maybe you could get away with an inexpensive clear on a hot rod or antique as they are usually garage queens and only go out in the best weather with 10 coats of wax on them. If a inexpensive clear was to last 2 years on a "regular" car, this equates to many many years for an antique or hot rod. I understand you can't build mill thickness with the cheaper clears like the more expensive ones, but many people are shooting 3 coats, cutting and buffing. I wish clear had a "rating" on it, like the way motor oil is rated, that is, an API and SAE rating to give you a "ball Park" idea as to how the product rates. I do like Barry's customer service and to my door service, it can't be beat! Not only does Barry offer a great line of products but he's always more then happy to assist me on my projects, try getting help from another paint line...don't think it would happen.
