how resistant is this clear coat to the sun's heat &amp; it's life span?

We put this on a race car that stays in a hot trailer or a hot garage. It's held up so far after about a year. The only problem I have with the clear is that you have to use a tone of it if you want your paint job to shine.

I would not leave it exposed to weather. It will eventually show corrosion.

I live in NY and my cover has held up well to all elements of weather. Not the same amount of sun you receive though.

I've used it about a year ago for outdoor purposes and it's survived all weather and climates without cracking or crumbling. It's definitely paintable.

No, I live in Indiana and it's been below 20' nearly everyday and, and I've never had an issues with weather affecting it yet, still pretty firm on my exterior! As long as you applied it to a flat surface that was cleaned and isn't rubber, or similar textures, you'll be completely fine for its normal life span. If you apply to rubber, silicone etc. It will be affected by that material and the adhesive will no longer work as its suppose to, and it will also stain that material

YES! Our cover material is highly resistant to deterioration from UV. Great question. Thanks! - JWALT

I applied this product in the summer months and it has remained clear for over 6 months without any noticeable change. Temperatuare extremes ranged from near 100 down to the mid-20s. I hope this helps answer your question.

Yes! I live in LA and it has held up in very hot temperatures and also have oily skin! Seriously this is the best sunscreen ever and I'm just a customer! I want to be there spokes person! I'm obsessed!

I would say that it is not "Sunlight" (UV) resistant. It is clear and I believe that whatever you put into it will get sun burnt. Also the lid is not sealed, it is just slightly tight. I would not leave it outside.

YES!I have had two hanging outside for about a year and no noted deterioration. Very pleased with construction, ease of hanging and durability. Both hang in sun to shield about 1/2 day.

I live in south floridamy unit is covered most of the time and out in the weather, after a year and a half it is great. Sun damage is the worst.

I applied it to a cold frame early last spring. I live at over 3500 feet altitude, therefore I get a strong dosage of ultraviolet radiation. During the winter months the material became brittle due to the radiation and broke up. This is a good material for the price but it is not resistant to ultraviolet at this altitude. I do have a greenhouse that I covered with a ultraviolet resistant plastic that is god for four years but the price is much higher. If you have a greenhouse which is easy to cover the warp brothers material might be the best way to go. If you prefer not to recover it every year I would suggest buying a resistant material for longevity. You might check the material offered by "greenhouse megastore, growers supply or Charlie's greenhouse" for price comparison. I hope this will help you out. If you have any other questions I will be glad to give you my input.

My original one lasted ten years with exposure to the Western sun and very hot temperatures, but it was protected from rain. I am not sure how direct exposure to moisture would effect the unit.

I have left mine outside under the hot LA sun for 6 months. Still looks the same to me.

yes, especially if you put some heat to it, but it will get old and brittle depending on the weather the car is subjected to, I believe it's a 7 yr vinyl but if it's subjected to like maybe 5 years of constant weather and hot sun it will start to yellow and crack which will make it very hard to remove, so if it's long term, change it out before it gets worn that badly.

I live in a state that gets up to 110 degrees easily in the summer and sometimes more - while this tape is not crystal clear, it does hold up in the hot sun. I have used it to repair my car bumper and the spoiler on the back of my car. Never had a problem in the extreme heat or cold. Never had a problem with glue oozing out. Hope this helps you.

Not sure about number of years. I'm in New Orleans, LA. I put mine up last year, November 2013 and it is doing fine thru a very cold winter and now a very hot summer. It appears to be just like it was when I put it up short of a bit of algae on the door which I have left rolled up in the open position since the weather became hot. I love this green house. It is a really good, durable material.
