I have already applied some Rustoleum Clear Coat Enamel to my basecoat. If I waited until that coat has fully cured, would I be able to apply this?

My best advice would be to shoot an email to spray max and ask them. This is a great product though, I just had an accident at the gas pump the other day, spilled gas all over my clear coat...cleaned it up with soap and water when I got home and everything still looks great. This stuff is like what the body shops spray.

Honestly I don't know, I applied the spray max 2k to a glossy spray paint and it did great! Make absolutely sure the base coat has completely cured!!!!! I can't emphasize this enough if it's not, around the 2nd coat of Spray Max your paint starts to wrinkle up or Crack not fun to see after all you hard work up till this point. Good luck!

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.

Here is what their website states to the question: CAN I APPLY POR-15 OVER OTHER PAINTS? "Yes, but you will lose the important benefits of POR-15. You must remember that ordinary paints are weakened by exposure to moisture. POR-15 can't stop rust if it isn't in direct contact with the base metal." My preference would be POR 15 directly on the metal ( after cleaning/prepping) and then primer and paint.

Suggest you contact Rust-Oleum for technical questions. However, I would personally use the product if the fiber glass top has already been primed and painted with automotive paint.

I have used this product on painted surfaces but I let the paint cure for about a week before I applied the coating. It took 4 coats to achieve the wanted finish. It is a very thin coating so I didn't see the need to sand between coats.

I suggest sanding out the rust first before applying this. I also suggest the filler then this touch up as the filler will smooth out the surface and can be sanded flush with the rest of the area. The is a paint type product to match the color. The one I used is white and it is very white.

Yes this will, however please note that Curing times may vary depending on polish colors or brand.

as a professional door refinisher,i use marine spar varnish for extreme situations,where normal exterior polys,such as minwax helmsman fades after less than 2 years.my clients are wealthy and demand the best.if rustoleum says it can be used on vinyl,then do it .it will last a long time. john g. contractor

You should remove all loose scale with a wire brush before applying. I went over my trailer frame with a wire brush, and a smaller wire brush in hard to reach areas. Afterwards, I applied the rust converter as directed, and applied two coats. I allowed the first coat to cure (about 30 mins., depending upon the air temperature and humidity) between coats. It worked well. I painted the converted surface where it was exposed to sunlight with black Rustoleum enamel.

I guess I should have answered "Don't Know". I know on my application, that was was meticulous on surface sanding and prep. However, if you are dealing with metal and moisture can get to the metal, you are going to get oxidation which will start the rust process. Hopefully, someone will have the answer for you or you may have to inquire with the manufacturer, The GB Weld Company in Texas. Sorry!

I've done two garages with the Rust-Oleum epoxy floor paint. On the first, I did not use any clear coat. On the second, I top coated with clear coat. The clear coat finish looks better, cleans better, and to me is worth the additional cost. I echo another commentator's advice: hold back a small amount of the clear coat components so that when you are done, you can cover any missed areas. If you find that you did a perfect job, then the held back clear coat can applied where the floor gets the most wear. It is a win-win either way.

Technically, I think you would be OK. This stuff not only converts the rust to an inert material, but it produces a thick, hard black coating on the 'non-rusty' parts. However, if the goal is to preserve the metal as long as possible, I would still prime and paint with a high quality enamel paint. I am using ift to refurbish an old BBQ and it is working very well.

No, not unless the rust is removed, primed and then sprayed. I used it after sanding, a bonding, priming, matching the paint and then the clear coat. It might help over a fresh scrape. once there is rust, it has to be repaired. Hope that helps.

will craze most enamels, sometimes cureing over 24 hours will stand a light coat. don't push your luck though.

I clear coated some aluminum wheels that I reconditioned. Should work great to seal as a rust preventative. If you are painting on bare steel there is prep product that they recommend fore bare metal(for adhesion). I forget the name but is made by the same company. I would definately recommend this product. It takes some time to dry(harden) but well worth the wait.

I tried the spray, and it has not lasted that long. So I think I would go brush on next time. You really need several coats I think, because what looks covered may still have enough porosity for the humidity to get behind and rust. Also, this stuff reallt smells, so I'd take it outside next time.
