What clear

Finished the grill last week after a repaint since the first clear yellowed the white. Im debating of adding a clear but wasn't sure which brand to use that wouldn't cause this? Super white is a bitch to match and i want to prevent another strip down.

thoughts on any rattle can clears would be great.

Thanks guys.

did you rattle can this bumper or just wanting to use rattle can clear? If you did rattle can the bumper, what paint did you use and how well does it match up?

 

OP, how long did you let the paint cure before clear coating. I have no experience in this, however, it seems I've read on this site that you'll have better results if you let the paint cure out completely. Some paints take as long as a month. Rattle cans don't have the same hardeners as body shop paints do. Remember also, enamel over lacquer is OK, but not lacquer over enamel.

 

i use the duplicolor superwhite. i believe its acrylic and its been curing for at least a week now.

 

I used rust-olium pait for plastic clear and had no problems with it.

 

Unfortunately most rattle-can clears cause yellowing. I've never seen one that doesn't... Might want to consider getting a body shop to clear it for ya. Should be cheap, MUCH better clear, and it won't yellow. Even get them to throw some flex-addative in there, so it's extra durable!

 

^^ ill look into all considerations thanks.

 

Rattlecan 040 duplicolor and duplicolor clear.. Let it dry in the sun for 21 days hit it with light wet sandpaper (600 grit) and put on the clear. 4 mo in the Fla. sun and it looks good so far...Jim
