Automative Clearcoat

Overview of the RM Brand

Founded in 1919, the RM brand was born from the collaboration between Herbert Mason and Fred Rinshed, founders of Rinshed-Mason. Since then, RM has become one of the world’s leading suppliers of automotive paints.

RM positions itself as a true partner for professional body shops, developing products designed to optimize workshop productivity. Its mission is to provide long-term, cost-effective solutions through paint systems that are easy to apply, low in consumption, fast-drying, and environmentally friendly.

RM Product Range

The RM line includes:

• Fillers

• Primers

• Clear coats

• Thinners

All products are formulated in compliance with VOC regulations, ensuring application that meets current environmental standards.

Why Apply a Clear Coat?

The car body refinishing process involves three main stages:

1. Surface preparation – cleaning, sanding, and necessary repairs

2. Paint application – selecting the color best suited to the vehicle

3. Finishing – polishing or applying a protective clear coat

Applying a clear coat is essential because it:

• Protects the paint from UV rays, impacts, and weather conditions

• Enhances the shine and depth of the finish (gloss or matte)

• Improves durability and resistance over time

RM clear coats are acrylic-based, colorless, and can be used with a hardener. Available in gloss or matte finishes, they adapt to all types of repair work.

RM Clear Coats for Automotive Refinishing

RM clear coats are designed to offer performance, durability, and ease of application. Their key strengths include:

• Excellent resistance to UV rays, weather, shocks, and scratches

• Fast drying for increased productivity

• Strong coverage and optimal adhesion

• A smooth and glossy surface finish

• Simple application in one or two coats

• Anti-corrosion properties for long-lasting surface protection

Application Tips for RM Clear Coats

• Allow the basecoat to dry as recommended by the manufacturer

• Wash the car before applying the clear coat

• Mask sensitive areas such as windows, wheels, chrome parts, and plates

• Follow the instructions on the product label

• Use a properly adjusted spray gun with the correct nozzle size

• Always wear protective equipment: gloves, mask, goggles, and coveralls

• Work in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area (avoid outdoor application)

RM clear coats are available in aerosol cans (for small touch-ups) and containers up to 5L for full-body applications.
