I'm absolutely thrilled with the high gloss aerosol spray I recently purchased! It has completely transformed my project, giving it a professional, glossy finish that looks like it came straight from a showroom. The application was effortless, and the drying time was surprisingly quick, leaving behind a smooth and flawless surface. Whether I'm touching up furniture, reviving old décor, or adding a glossy sheen to my DIY crafts, this spray is my new go-to for achieving that perfect, shiny look. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to add a touch of brilliance to their projects!

I have a Samsung front loader and the spider that turns the drum failed yet again due to a poor design. This time around, I did all I could to try to prevent the decay from happening, or at the very least slowing it down.

To that end, I decided to paint the spider before installing it. I used this zinc chromate paint as the base seeing as it was good for boats, and the zinc cromate would provide an additional barrier between the steel drum and the aluminum spider. Galvanic corrosion Is likely only one cause behind the rot, but it's a big one. It took some manipulation in order to get the paint in all the nooks and crannies of the spider, but it looked pretty good in the end. This epoxy clear coat was applied as the final or top coat in order to further isolate the two metals.

The only drawback is that there is a limited shelf life once you puncture the chambers to mix the what I presume are the urethane and catalyst. Mine lasted about 72 hrs before it solidified in the can. You should also wear a mask or stay upwind, as the spray is toxic.

It's a really glossy sheen, but that didn't matter for my washer application. I did spray a yard ornament (bird) in order to protect it from the elements and use as much product as I could due to its cost, and it's a bit too shiny for my liking. It definitely doesn't look natural.

Wonderful for the small project. I've repainted and clear coated several body parts on my truck. It is a very clear gloss finish.

I picked this up because I wanted a high quality clearcoat I could apply on a backyard auto parts painting project. I painted a grill and two headlight bezels and wanted to make sure I had as much protection as I could from rock chips, etc. This can was good for a couple of light coats followed by a thicker final coat. Don't expect to paint a car with one can by any means. It might be enough for a hood or roof but not much more.

First off, this product contains isocyanates, it says so on the can. Bare minimum use a good face mask with organic vapor cartridges. I used a 3M mask and rubber gloves and sprayed it in the middle of my back yard in a light breeze and had no issues, but was sure to stay upwind while spraying it. Isocyanates are NOT something you want to mess with, especially in your lungs. Keep your kids and pets away! Wear a body suit if you have one available, especially in an enclosed space.

Make sure you shake the can for 2 minutes like it says on the can, then flip it completely upside down and press straight down with the red button and hold it for a bit to make sure it empties completely. Then shake again for at least 2 minutes. I applied it on an 80-85F day in low humidity, and it appeared to come out in a fine mist. It did start sputtering as the can got low. The can also doesn't handle angles well, so keep the can as straight up and down as possible.

I let it sit in the sun for 3 hours and by then it was no longer tacky to the touch and I was able to install the pieces (it was a rush job). It was obviously still soft (screws bit into it easily) but hard enough to handle.

The resulting job looks great, it's very shiny and smooth. Sadly the rest of the truck now looks worse because it's not nearly as shiny. Oh well.

Hopefully it's durable, time will tell.

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024
I had a deer hit with my Tacoma and decided to do the body work myself. To save some money, I opted for unfinished replacement panels. I followed all of the internet tutorials as well as the instructions on the panels and the paints. They all called for a 2-part clear coat for the best shine. This product was highly rated so I gave it a try. It worked great. My finished pieces look almost like the originals (my spray can technique needs some work). I cannot yet comment on its durability because its too new and has not been exposed to road conditions.

Whoa. This stuff. This stuff is unlike any spray paint I've ever used, before or since. There are 2 buttons on the can, one on top, and one on bottom. When you hit the bottom button, it cracks a seal inside the can, and allows the 2 parts inside to mix. You then have 48 hours to use the entire can, or it seals itself shut. The warning labels on this also say pretty literally "breathing this will put you in the hospital". Thus, I didn't actually apply it myself, I paid a friend with access to a paint studio and proper respirators to do it for me.

I bought this to protect the custom paint job that my girlfriend put on my bicycle helmet. She'd painted up one of my helmets before, but because I carry the helmet on my hip, it quickly developed a bald spot where the helmet bounced against walls or seats when I sat down. So this time, I wanted to keep the paint job looking beautiful.

It worked amazingly. This stuff is phenomenally durable, and I know this for 2 reasons. First is, when the helmet bumped against my apartment walls as I carried it on my hip, I started to notice white streaks of paint on the helmet. This turned out to be, not the clear coat wiping off, but the clear coat actually *removing paint from my walls* due to it being harder than they were.

The second reason is, well, I got into a bike accident. I ended up sliding on my helmeted head, on asphalt, for about a foot before stopping. I've taken a photo of the impact region, and while the clear coat is scratched, it still held up astonishingly well for literally a foot long slide on bare dry pavement.

Sadly, this means I have to retire the helmet, and thus I'll need to purchase another whole can of this stuff when the next one gets painted up. It's well worth the cost though, as it's the last paint job that helmet will ever need.
