What is urethane paint?
Urethane Paint is a strong and durable top coat finish which dries to a sturdy gloss finish. It is a 2 pack finish and is often used on boats and other leisure crafts or industrial applications.

By using a base-coat and top-coating with a 2 pack clear you obtain that extra depth which is usually desired. However if you wanted to go cheaper and did not care about that look than there is no problem is using urethane 2 packs in cars. Hopefully that helps

Should you be aware of scratches before spraying clearcoat on a car?
If there are scratches on the surface before you clear coat, the clear will not come out smooth. If you are spraying new clear coat over an old clear coat, the entire surface must be wet sanded with at least a 600 grit wet/dry paper so the surface is rough enough to accept the clear. If you are spraying new clear over an new base coat, the same techinque for prepping the surface will be necessary if the base coat has dried.
