Clear Coating Oil Based Paints??

[Gino]

For what it's worth, I don't think we have a single can of it anymore. This was a very fast drying and high pigmented paint really good for billboards and other backgrounds. The clears were just phenomenal. I would get a few cases when a local billboard company would get their paint order and the total order between the both of us would be several thousand dollars. Mine would last me for a while, but they ordered about once a month from a place in California.

I'm not sure if they're in business or not any longer, so maybe that's why so little about them out there. We don't paint near to the degree we used to and not too many billboards are hand-painted anymore either.

Anybody used marine grade clear coats? It's nice and expensive.

That's the stuff we used to use on our teak deck furniture. Works awesome but I don't think it's made for painted surfaces. It's more of a waterseal/UV inhibitor for raw wood. I could be wrong though.

You need to clear it with urethanes and stop all this Frog Juice, orange juice and waxing and buffing!

Clea it and be done with it. Wipe down with alcohol scuff it up and clear it
