Production Clear FMB 4242: Fast Cycle Times Without Compromising Quality

Need a clear coat built for speed without sacrificing finish quality? LKQ’s Mike walks through Production Clear FMB 4242 — a 4.2 VOC clear coat designed for quick 1–2 panel jobs, with flexible air-dry or bake-cure options.

In this quick product spotlight, Mike, LKQ’s Private Label Product Manager, introduces Production Clear (FMB 4242) from Finish Master by LKQ. Formulated at a 4.2 VOC national rule with a simple 4:1 mix ratio using FMB 4202 activator, this clear coat is engineered for shops that need to move fast on smaller repairs. Apply two medium wet coats with a 5–10 minute flash time between coats, then choose between a four-hour air dry or a 20-minute bake at 140°F — whichever fits your shop’s workflow best. Ideal for 1–2 panel jobs where cycle time is critical, Production Clear helps technicians balance speed and quality on every job. As always, check your local VOC regulations to confirm this product is the right fit for your market.
