M.L. Campbell
M.L. Campbell offers a full line of clear and pigmented topcoats in both solvent and water based formulas. The solvent based topcoats give you the option of pre-cat or post-cat to suit your needs. These products are for professional use only in a shop that has proper ventilation.
Catalyst
Unsure whether you need a pre-cat or post-cat lacquer? You're in the right place!
Pre-Catalyzed lacquer has a shorter shelf life, but saves you the hassle of measuring and mixing catalyst into your product. Magnalac has a shelf life of 1 year and Magnamax has a shelf life of 4 months once we catalyze it in the shop for you.
Post-Catalyzed lacquer is typically a more durable product because the catalyst is stronger and works more quickly. When left uncatalyzed, post-cat products have years of shelf life. Resistant post-cat lacquer has 12 hours of working time after is it catalyzed with Care Catalyst. We carry Campy Cups that will help you measure the correct amount of catalyst for the amount and type of lacquer you are using.
