Restoration Shop Urethane Reducer UR70 Quart — Mid‑Temperature 70–85°F, Improves Flow & Leveling

This UR70 reducer is made by Restoration Shop to adjust viscosity and improve flow, atomization, and leveling when spraying urethane basecoats, clearcoats, acrylic enamels, and many primers. Designed for mid-range ambient temperatures, it helps maintain consistent spray characteristics across common shop conditions and is compatible with Restoration Shop and many other urethane and epoxy systems. Manufactured in the U.S.A., UR70 aims to deliver predictable drying and professional film appearance without introducing unnecessary additives.

How does UR70 help when spraying at 70–85°F?

UR70 is tuned to the solvent evaporation and flow needs of mid-temperature painting so the material sprays smoothly while avoiding excessive overspray or slow curing. It balances drying speed to reduce orange peel and improve leveling without long tack times.

• Optimizes viscosity for spray gun atomization at typical shop temperatures
• Improves surface leveling to minimize texture and orange peel
• Helps maintain consistent dry times for multi-panel color matching

Which coatings can I use UR70 with?

UR70 is formulated primarily for urethane and acrylic automotive topcoats and primers but is broadly compatible with many solvent-borne systems. It is recommended for Restoration Shop and Custom Shop acrylic enamel, acrylic urethane, urethane basecoats, urethane clearcoats, and several primer types.

• Urethane basecoats and clearcoats from Restoration Shop
• Acrylic enamels and acrylic urethanes for refinishing
• Urethane and epoxy primers where viscosity adjustment is needed

How much reducer should I add and how does that affect results?

Mix ratios vary by product and application method, but moderate additions of UR70 thin paint for improved flow without over‑reduction. Follow the technical data sheet for target spray viscosity and adjust in small increments to avoid runs or sagging.

• Start with manufacturer-recommended ratios for your specific coating
• Adjust 5–10% at a time to refine spray pattern and dry time
• Test on a panel to confirm finish, atomization, and leveling before full application

Who is this for: UR70 Medium Urethane Reducer is aimed at professional refinishers, body shops, and advanced DIYers who need a reliable mid-temperature reducer to tune spray viscosity when working with urethane and acrylic automotive paints and primers. It suits users seeking a U.S.-made solvent that integrates with Restoration Shop product lines and many other solvent-borne coating systems to achieve consistent spray performance and a smooth, professional finish.
