Manufactured in the USA, UR70 is engineered for compatibility with Restoration Shop and Custom Shop paint lines while remaining broadly useful with many other urethane and epoxy systems. Use it to tune material body for better atomization, smoother coverage and predictable drying behavior in moderate shop temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does UR70 change paint behavior during application?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUR70 lowers a coating's viscosity so the paint shears more easily through a spray gun, producing finer atomization and an even film. Proper reduction prevents runs and fisheyes while encouraging uniform wetting across panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImproves atomization for smoother spray patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelps eliminate orange peel and promotes flow-out\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjusts flash time so layering and recoats are predictable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces risk of sags by matching reducer to ambient temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich paint systems and jobs is UR70 compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUR70 is formulated for a broad range of modern automotive coatings: acrylic enamels, acrylic urethanes, urethane basecoats, urethane primers and clearcoats.
