Quick repairs on colder days: AIR-DRY and low-temperature solutions - NOVOL main

Fast, economical, no-bake — solutions for colder days

 

When temperatures drop, you need reliable results without raising energy costs. We selected products that work already from 5–10 °C, cure at 20 °C (AIR DRY) or require very short bake times, so you can keep repair throughput while maintaining top finish quality.

DART CLEAR 8500

Why it’s worth it: it genuinely shortens time-to-delivery without tying up the booth — reaches service hardness after just 1 h at 20 °C (AIR-DRY). In practice, you can limit baking on colder days while keeping high gloss and scratch resistance (SR).

When to use it: medium and smaller repairs, quick bay turnover, when energy savings are the priority.

What users say: videos emphasize easy polishing “after an hour” and no need to bake — you gain speed with no compromise in appearance.

MEGA CLEAR 8600

Why it’s worth it: combines fast achievement of service hardness (~1 h/20 °C) with a “mirror-like” gloss and high SR — effectively levels minor paint defects and lets you coat multiple parts in one go.

When to use it: small and multi-panel repairs when finish quality matters without increasing temperature.

What users say: praised in trade stores and comparison sites for deep, durable gloss and air-dry operation.

NOVAKRYL 540

Why it’s worth it: flexible curing — ~8 h/20 °C or ~20 min/60 °C; high final hardness and SR ensure durability and gloss after UV exposure. Easy to apply (2–3 coats).

When to use it: SPOT REPAIR and small areas when you want to leave the part overnight at 20 °C and polish/deliver in the morning.

What users say: valued for predictable application and a hard, stable film in the fast SR segment.

SPECTRAL KLAR 545-00 (VHS)

Why it’s worth it: energy-saving workflow — 15 min/40 °C to polishing and >50% booth energy savings; at the same time its open time lets you coat single panels and full resprays.

When to use it: when colder days call for lowering booth temperature while keeping flow and premium-grade resistance.

What users say: a very short cycle at low bake temperatures is highlighted — a real boost to throughput.

 

SPECTRAL KLAR 565-00 (VHS)

Why it’s worth it: an extremely short process — ~5 min/60 °C to polishing; high efficiency (VHS) and long open time work from “small jobs” to full resprays.

When to use it: with a heavily booked booth schedule, you can significantly speed up repairs and free extra capacity.

What users say: the most cited benefits are the “very short time to polishing” and excellent flow at low temperature settings.

MEGA FILLER 2600 (AIR-DRY)

Why it’s worth it: high build, ready for sanding after ~90 min/20 °C — no booth required; masks scratches and unevenness well, easy to apply on large panels.

When to use it: fast preparation for further paintwork at 20 °C; when you want to reduce the use of finishing putties.

What users say: feedback highlights much shorter prep time, lower energy consumption and faster rotation of parts for painting.

UNDER 00-RACE

Why it’s worth it: an extremely fast primer that can be applied from 10 °C; sanding possible after ~20 min/20 °C (2 coats). A ~70% shorter cycle vs. classic primers — which makes a huge difference in the cold.

When to use it: SMART/spot repairs and quick job closure without fully heating the booth.

What users say: described as “game-changing” for process speed — especially due to use even at very low temperatures.

UNDER 375-00

Why it’s worth it: works from 5 °C, and at 20 °C you can sand after ~60–90 min (depending on coats). High build can replace finishing putties; can be applied over cataphoretic coating without sanding.

When to use it: prep work in underheated conditions, leveling scratches and “orange peel” on larger areas.

What users say: “energy savings” and the benefits of low-temperature work are emphasized — valued especially in the autumn–winter season.
