Our clearcoat is not like a standard clearcoat that requires a chemical adhesion. Traditional clearcoat needs to be sprayed over a basecoat. Our clearcoat relies on a mechanical adhesion and is specifically formulated for surface tolerance. Meaning it can be applied over existing paint surface rust, bare metal, patina, Original paint, etc..

Our Wipe-On Clear Coat product can be either sprayed on or wiped on. We also offer our Spray Only applications "Glossed Out" & "Flatte Out" which are the highest and lowest gloss levels we offer.

Our clearcoat is a urethane coating that is 100% paintable at anytime if you choose not to remove before painting. If you wish to remove it, simply sand it off.

Changing finishes is as simple as scuffing or sanding and wiping with wax and grease remover before adding desired finish.

Yes of course. Wet sand the edges off of the old clear coat then sand or scuff area you are applying to. Wipe on clear coat fast in an even direction.

Yes, we would recommend SPRAYING our clear coat over fresh spray paint or any single part paint. Wiping over single part paint or fresh spray paint will rewet the paint and cause the color to drag.

Single part paints will always rewet with solvent no matter how old they are. So if you wipe our clear over them it can rewet and move the color, causing streaks. It is fine if you spray our clear over the single part paints because you’re not dragging anything across the surface.
