Rattle can clear coat for a rigger!

[Bill Gibson]

So i thought id give it a try........I have heard good things about this clear, and it looks like it came out pretty good......I sure miss the days of a paint booth and an air compressor! But one must adapt sometimes LOL!! I sure wish somebody had fuel proof colors in a rattle can like the old Pactra Formula U colors from waaayyyy back!

Bill, look at Tropical Glitz.com
I think they "load" there colors in a catalyzed rattle can.

Why don't you have an air compressor? You don't need a big one .

single stage urethane paints are chemical proof. not sure if they come in a can. eastwood might have some.

For that price,,, I'd be willing to see if it stands up to 60%
Not all catalyzed clear does.
But for that $$ be worth a test.
Hell, would be good for gas boats.

tried it on the bottom of my tunnel. will put some nitro on it and see if it reacts.

EDIT: poured 50% on it let it sit for 10-15 minutes and nothing. I will wait over night.

p.s. they have it for $50 a gallon too but its not available since a few days ago

I’ve used the SprayMax clear. Excellent product. After activation if you put it in the fridge it is still usable for a day or two in my experience.

I've put it in the fridge after activating and have used it off and on with no issues for well over 2 months. Still comes out perfect...

That’s great! In my experience, even the top shelf clears have trouble standing up to nitro for that long.

Yep! I left my partial out for 2 weeks after activating and it still sprayed just fine!
