Hi, Ow. I don't know whether you mean a coating of acrylic followed by a urethane top coat, or an acrylic-urethane coating. I think it could be powder. Please try to explain your situation because simple phrases like "acryl urethane" usually lack the resolving power for the answers you'd like to get. Good luck.

I think your question refers to Acrylic/Polyester hybrid powders as these are reported to combine excellent weathering and mechanical properties into one material.

Note: urethane could be classed as a polyester.
