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.
Clearcoats / AIR DRY
Excellent results even at low temperatures.
For the autumn–winter season, choose these clearcoats...
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.
Fast primers / AIR DRY
Selected primers for colder days.

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.
The ideal body filler for the autumn–winter season
Cures fast, sands easily.
A body filler that’s not afraid of the cold...
DART 500
Why it’s worth it: “lightning-fast” processing — 10–12 min/20 °C; low water absorption and microspherical fillers deliver easy application and a very smooth surface for sanding.
When to use it: quick repairs of parts exposed to moisture/dew in a cooler workshop.
What users say: praised in workshops for easy sanding and predictable mixing/application.
