Single Stage or Basecoat/Clear?

Choose single stage (Ful-Thane or Fast Dry Acrylic Enamel) for solid colors, commercial vehicles, equipment and budget restorations. It's faster and cheaper because color and gloss go on in one product.

Choose basecoat/clear (Ful-Base plus SelectClear) to match a factory basecoat/clearcoat finish, or for metallic and pearl colors on modern cars. The clear adds depth, gloss and UV protection.

Build a Complete Nason Job

1. Prime bare metal with Ful-Poxy epoxy or an etch primer.
2. Fill and block with SelectPrime 2K primer-surfacer.
3. Seal with SelectSeal for uniform color holdout.
4. Apply your Ful-Thane or Fast Dry single stage, or Ful-Base basecoat.
5. Clear basecoat with SelectClear 498-00 or 496-00.

Use the activators and reducers specified on each product's technical data sheet, and match reducer speed to your shop temperature.

Nason Paint FAQ

Who makes Nason paint?

Nason is made by Axalta Coating Systems, formerly DuPont Performance Coatings. Axalta also makes the premium Cromax line and Imron industrial coatings.

Is Nason paint good for a car restoration?

Yes. Nason gives a durable, professional-looking finish at a lower cost than premium systems, which makes it a common choice for restorations, fleets and older vehicles. For the highest gloss and color-match standards, shops often step up to Cromax.

Nason vs Cromax: what's the difference?

Both are Axalta systems. Nason is the value line for everyday repairs and overall paint jobs; Cromax is the premium line built for collision-shop speed and OEM color accuracy. See our Imron vs Cromax vs Nason comparison.
