This is a little OT but I am in the process of getting ready to clear some of my art work and it is all bare steel. So I am asking does anyone have any idea of what is the best stuff to use for this. I just want some thoughts. Thanks
DuPont Snap Clearcoat? It dries very fast to a nice finish, and color sands and buffs well and SOON after application if needed. For small pieces (like the size of a fender or hood) this stuff is very cool... If the metal is scuffed well you wont need a primer... although clear primer is available..
Any idea of how well it will hold up? The stuff I am doing will most likely be inside but I want the best stuff for them.
alsa corps sell a product called clear for chrome! it holds up most clears will spider web and fall off in six months ive painted hole cars and there still holding up after 2 years! its a great clear easy to cut buff super kool product! good luck! ps its not cheap!
The Snap seems to be very durable, In spite of what it is MADE FOR, I painted a complete car with it a few months ago. It was cold and I figured I could make it around the car before it dried, and I did... barely... The car is holding up fine. I have used it on several "small jobs" engines, wheels, under my coupe, firewall, etc. it seems to be just as durable as the regular DuPont clear which is outstanding. I can say that for stuff that is inside it WILL last a lifetime.
Check out this site > http://www.everbrite.net/index.html Good people, good products. I've used their stuff for coating polished aluminum and was very satisfied.
that is rad! Por-15 makes a non-porous clearcoat. If you dont use a non porous clear, it will eventually spiderweb rust and fail.
You want a product called GlistenPC from Por 15. You brush it on, it's self levelling, and it's SUPER DURABLE.
Why not just spray-bomb it with some Duplicolor clear??? It's not like it's going to be 'exposed' to the elements on a daily driver or anything... It's decent quality...
