Kapci Coatings’ Prima 8870 UHS Clearcoat is user-friendly and specifically formulated for application over the Primabase 8700 basecoat. The company describes it as cutting-edge and an integral part of the Prima product line. According to Kapci, Prima 8870 is ideally suited to both minor touch-ups and extensive repairs. Engineered with the latest advancements in technology and featuring ultra-high solids content, it is “meticulously designed” to facilitate spot and partial repairs under air drying conditions when used in conjunction with Prima 8700 basecoats. By drying rapidly, Kapci says Prima 8870 significantly improves efficiency and cost-effectiveness during application, while its reduced solvent content contributes to energy savings.

In line with environmental regulations and Kapci’s commitment to sustainability, the company says Prima 8870 UHS Clearcoat is also VOC-compliant. Prima 8870 can be applied in a single coat or during a single visit, resulting in a “flawless, high-gloss, and high-build finish”. “The ease of application and the remarkable coverage provided by this clearcoat ensure that both large and small repairs are completed with exceptional precision and aesthetics. With Prima 8870, automotive professionals can achieve outstanding results while minimising labour time and material consumption,” said Kapci. For more information, visit kapci.com.
