Whether you’re restoring a Studebaker pickup truck, piecing together a mean-looking old school rat rod, or laying sweet stripes down the hood of a classic muscle car, there are times when a glossy paint job just wouldn’t look right. On projects where a smooth satin finish is the only thing that’ll do the trick, Kirker’s all-new HOT ROD BLACK is the only way to go.

Sure, some like to “drive her in primer,” or opt for a quick and cheap “rattle-can” paint job, but Kirker’s new activated single-stage acrylic urethane HOT ROD BLACK is a much better choice than any of those other options. Here’s why:

Better than lacquer primer:

Even as an undercoat, lacquer is well past its prime. An inferior and outdated coating technology, lacquer has the tendency to scratch easily and can crack over time due to ultra-violet exposure, as well as chemicals and everyday wear and tear.

Better than epoxy primer:

While a premium undercoat material with exceptional adhesion and rust inhibitive qualities, epoxy primers were never designed for exterior durability. They can quickly turn chalky when exposed to harmful UV and tend to mar very easily.

Better than “rattle can” paint jobs:

Aerosol paints are easy to use and exceptionally low cost, but that’s where the benefits end. Filled with low-grade enamel, “spray bombs” can’t offer the same long-term durability or protection required for exterior automotive applications.

Better than implement paint:

Also made from low-grade materials, this type of synthetic enamel paint is intended for short-term use on farm and field equipment. Often used without hardener, it is an exceptionally weak coating that cannot be expected to hold up over a long time.

Because Kirker’s HOT ROD BLACK is a true acrylic urethane topcoat, it has exceptional long-term durability and resistance to UV and chemicals, as well as scratching and marring from everyday wear.

HOT ROD BLACK has the flexibility to be used in any number of different applications, for accent or overall work on street rods, choppers, old school gassers and muscle cars. Can also be used on interior parts and chassis as well as on truck and bus hoods to reduce distracting sun glare.

KIRKER'S HOT ROD BLACK single stage acrylic urethane enamel offers a premium quality finish at minimal cost. KIRKER'S HOT ROD BLACK is a satin finish, durable paint designed for automotive and fleet refinishing when a top-of-the-line finish is desired.

Mix ¾ gallon of KIRKER'S HOT ROD BLACK acrylic urethane enamel to one quart of UA1600M Medium, or UA1600S Slow activator (3:1). In most applications reducer is not required, however, if used, Kirker recommends the mix comprise no more than 10% of the appropriate temperature urethane reducer. Kirker acrylic urethane clears may be applied as a topcoat or added into the final coat to increase gloss and durability.

Apply in two medium wet coats over properly prepared and primed surfaces. A third coat may be fogged as necessary to set metallic pattern evenly. Allow 5-15 minutes flash time between coats. At 68° F, KIRKER'S HOT ROD BLACK should be set to touch within 20 minutes, and dry within one hour. Pot life for mixed material is approximately 2 hours. Less for elevated temperatures.

Use UFE-8 Fisheye Eliminator in the first coat only if necessary.
