USC Spraymax Matte Clearcoat 3680065

Perfect matte finish, easy application, professional results every time!

I do alot of hydrographic dipping, I need a finish I can trust to last. From Matte to High Gloss this stuff works, not only is it tough, but it looks great. I tell all my customers that sure there is more expensive stuff out there, but do they really want me to use it a find out the hard way that it doesn't work as well?⚠️WARNING ⚠️ make sure whatever you are using it on has been prepared properly and is been decreased or you take the risk of getting fish eyes (bubbles caused by Silicons or oils.). FISH EYES ARE NOT THE FAULT OF THE CLEAR BUT ARE THE RESULTS OF POOR PREPARATION.MAKE SURE YOU USE THIS STUFF IN A WELL VENTED AREA AND ALWAYS WEAR A PAINT RESPIRATOR!!!!!!.if you follow all of the manufacturers recommendations and or watch some videos online you will get a tough long lasting and beautiful finish that you desire.

I restored my recently purchased ‘96 Honda Shadow VT1100C2 with SEM Trim Black paint (spray gun style at 25psi), which has a satin finish. It was perfect. I was nervous about using an aerosol matte over the top of such perfect and durable paint, but my senses told me it would be good for longer lasting durability. I took the risk. No one on the interwebs mentioned using this product on SEM Trim Black. I’mHere to tell you that I’m happy I did. With the paint, I applied three coats, 5 minutes apart at 25psi. I warmed up the Spray Max right before I was ready to start spraying the color by soaking it in a bowl of warm water. When it was time to get the van ready for application, I dried the can off very well, shook it for a minute, activated the hardener, shook it for a whole minute, checked the wind with my wet finger, and sprayed. 2 light coats 10 minutes apart and a final light-medium coat. Do not go heavy. Follow 10 minute rule. Follow top coat rules and when your respective manufacturer says it’s safe to spray (don’t spray too soon or a couple hours after top coat or you’ll have problems). Make sure you don’t get overspray on other parts you painted as it will dry to dust and land on the other parts. After 5 days, I wet sanded with 5000 grit sanding pad. Wet sanded. 5000 grit. Do NOT use 1500 or 2000 on matte finish, you’ll destroy it (I sampled the back side of a side fairing and learned this). I wet sanded any areas that had a dusty texture and got it smooth and satin-yyy. Do not leave stripes. Slow, but not too slow sweeps to the left, up a couple inches, to the right, up, etc. so many people do not know how to use aerosols and get on Amazon and complain. Same people can’t adjust a toaster, either. Watch some YouTube videos and do this right and you’ll say man, $20+ a can was worth it!! A pro would charge hundreds for the same finish. I can’t verify the 48 hour shelf life. I also used this over VHT flat black wheel paint on the front forks, rear struts and seat pan with the same awesome results. Did not use on the pipes (they exceed heat rating, go with VHT flame proof paint and clear if you wanna do your pipes). My pictures are pre-wet sand. It only got better after the wet sand and some Flogenix protectant spray.

Best in a can clearcoat i could find. Acts like real automotive clearcoat. Make sure you shake the can very well after you break the seal. Properly mixing any 2 part paint is extremely important for proper performance. I use this clear on sports helmets that I custom paint. Holds up well even after it takes hockey pucks and lacrosse sticks off of it.

It was a good product very hard to spray it was so flat you couldn't see where you covered

After failing by using clear coat from a big box store, I went the real route and got 2k clear to re-coat a carbon fiber spoiler and interior trim pieces...after appropriately sanding and cleaning up from my prior mess.This went on SUPER smooth and clean. dried to a perfect matte finish and saved me a TON of money by allowing me to DIY.Highly recommend.BUT...make sure you've got all your pieces ready to go once you start spraying. Lasts a few days in the can then hardens up.

I bought this because while reading up on it, I thought it would be a strong easy application product but once I received it, I read the one sentence of directions that was sent covered by a sticker I had to pick at to remove and that’s when I saw it said once popped product should be used with in 48hrs and the directions only included how to pop the can. I had to google instructions online to find out the temp application range and so fourth. So I made sure I had my things prepped and ready when I popped the can and even though the spraying of the product was smooth I was completely unsatisfied and very unhappy with the outcome and results of this clear coat. It left a slight gritty coat with some light frost and there for I had to repaint my entire project. Even if I liked the gritty frost look it left the one can was depleted extremely fast compared to other comparable types. What a waste of money! Over priced trash!

I used this to restore a kids bicycle for Christmas. The matte finish makes it a little tricky to see where it's covered since it doesn't wet out like a gloss finish. It almost looks powdery going down. But the end result was fantastic and seems to be holding up well. Keep in mind the curing time. Even "dry" the finish has not fully cured. Once it does though it's pretty solid. The working time once mixed is fine but it's kind of annoying to have to toss a partially used can after 48hrs, if I had to complain about anything.
