Clear Coat

[Canucker]

So I did a search to see what came up for recommended clear coat...but they seemed a little outdated (2007, 2009) so I figured its time to revisit the topic.....for my own benefit of course! If you benefit from it too thats simply an accident and you shouldn't take it personally!

limited experience on this subjct , but i did get some rustoleum like above , i prefered it over the krylon i used before . it dried a lot faster , smoothed out nice , looks great . but t really power blasts out of the can !

blasts out more then kyrlon? I have a can of krylon clear and a couple of colours and I feel like 90% of it is missing what I'm painting/coating. I think the Krylon dries pretty fast though.

Some clear coats are incompatible with the base/colour coat and can cause wrinkling.

Always best to apply multiple thin coats, however, so that it cures completely.

any examples? I kinda like the wrinkle look if its even.

Couldn't list any off the top of my head.  I just make it a point to try and use the same brand of clear-coat as the paint underneath.  It also helps to prevent wrinkling if the paint underneath is completely cured before applying clearcoat.  Again, thin coats, baked.

what do you advise for baking? time/temp.
