ronhatch 406 #1 Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Because Valspar doesn't offer a clear coat for their Tractor & Implement spray can paint. has anyone tried using a clear coat from a different company? If so, what were the steps used for a successful out come? Thanks. Edited September 1, 2015 by ronhatch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikesRJ 552 #2 Posted September 1, 2015 Try Eastwood's 2K Clear. A bit pricey but you won;t find a better clear in a rattle can. http://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-s-2k-aerospray-high-gloss-clear.html?fee=7&fep=26897&SRCCODE=GA220010&adpos=1o2&creative=61491481260&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CIqQi6OW1scCFZKRHwodlzQAIw 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronhatch 406 #3 Posted September 2, 2015 WOW! At $25.00 a can, it should be good. I was hoping for a more reasonably priced clear coat that wouldn't attack the Valspar paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #4 Posted September 2, 2015 $25 a can? WOW! It better spray itself for that price lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #5 Posted September 3, 2015 Wow! I guess so! But with a closer look it is rather impressive and perhaps even more costly than first thought! A 2 component aerosol that must be activated and then used completely. Single time usage!Anybody used it enough to suggest how far it will go? In Wheel Horse talk? One can do all the sheet metal? Another for the frame? Some idea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikesRJ 552 #6 Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I cover a hood with three coats and a fender pan with two before it ran out. So guessing, about 150 sq. ft. coverage or so per can. YMMV Edited September 3, 2015 by MikesRJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #7 Posted September 3, 2015 Mike, that's not bad. And I think it would be worth it if it just got one more year out of the paint job! I'm guessing it might do much better than that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikesRJ 552 #8 Posted September 4, 2015 You'll get much more than an extra year out of it. Since I store inside a shed and I clean (hose off) at least after every second mowing, I would suspect I'll be dead before it needs repainting again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #9 Posted September 4, 2015 Chiming in....I just got back from Bumper to Bumper a bit ago...they had valspar clear coat there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
