What type of clear coat do you use with this product?

Any type of NON-fast dry will work. It may shrink a slight bit but not to noticeably. The best would be a uv light cured top coat. Hope this helps.

I bought the Clear and the Dark. The Clear does not darken, but the dark does. I did use Clear over white and it did not change the color - it is just a clear outer coat protection.

I use gelish PH bond, foundation, color, then top coat. I've tried the gel color you can get at CVS and it does not stay on as long. Definitely buy gelish brand or higher quality than what CVS carries.

Clear filter, 007M, is the prefered choice and priced higher. UV coating can slightly distort coloring and its benefits are debatable.

I use a base coat, 2 coats of polish and 2 coats of the CND Vinylux and no chipping for at least a week. It's the best top coat I've ever used.

You can use any transparent base. Matte medium or gloss mediums work great. Just be sure to put a uv protectant (such as spar urithane) on the outside if your application will be exposed to the sun at all.

I bought this sealer and the container says to apply two coats. Are two necessary?

As of now, there isn't any top coat that is really great. Pretty much any quality automotive clearcoat already has UV protection. Some has more than others. However, even with the best it won't keep this pigment from fading in the sun. 2-3 layers of clear is the normal. If you start getting too much paint it can/will wrinkle the finish.

DO NOT sand between coats. When you first spray the clear it will look hazy. As soon as it flashes it will be clear. You really only need a couple of coats. That being said you will have a ton of clear leftover. If you don't use it all it is useless after 48 hrs, so put as many coats as you like.

As long as the clear coat is glossy and kind of thick... If the scratches or swirls are really deep.. deeper cut Scratch product by Meguiar ScratchX or 2.0 would be better followed by this polish and wax.. Fyi do not use this product without following with polish then wax. You are going professional with this much work... do it right and reap the rewards. It will shine better than new or any wash ever.

I guess....but why you would want to do that idk. You might want to add a clear coat afterwards if you actually try that.

For small areas you can use a brush. For larger areas it is most easily applied with a sprayer. In either case do not over apply it. It is best to apply multiple thin coats. Smooth out any puddles that may occur during application. Also do not want aerate the Clear-seal while applying it.

If you currently have bad clear coat, you have to remove all of it first, or else the new clear coat last. Think of it as good over bad equals bad.

I would definitely use prime, it would be more permanent. It is thick like tar shake really well. You wont need but 2 coats. Good luck!

I will be using 2K primer which doesn't need a top coat. Besure to scuff before applying.

i have had great success with this clear coat. i used it over a krylon color-coat that i sprayed on top of the eastwood epoxy primer as well. it turned out gorgeous, and if you sand your color coat well before applying this clear, and do it properly, you'll get near glass-smooth results. i didnt even wetsand the clear on mine, i just left it, and it looks like a factory paint job. just be sure to give it proper cure times, and not to mention, the final cure takes much less time than a krylon or rusto clear. 1 can was perfect for a nice top coat on a bicycle frame.
