Applying Clear Coat Over Acrylic Enamel Paint: Tips and Tricks

I’ve heard people say it’s better to use a spray clear coat instead of brushing it on. What do others think?

I prefer spray as well. It creates an even finish without brush strokes!

Make sure to keep the surface out of direct sunlight while curing. UV rays can lead to a quicker deterioration of the finish.

Ugh, I’ve made the mistake of leaving my project in the sun. Lesson learned the hard way!

It’s critical to maintain a clean environment while working. Dust particles can ruin the smooth finish of your clear coat.

Absolutely! A clean workspace really does lead to a better final product.

How often should you reapply the clear coat for maintenance? Is it something that needs to be done yearly?
