I'm searching for a durable top clearcoat for my homemade lures. I'v tried epoxies, laquers and single part urethanes but none are 100% suitable in my opinion. The hooks on the lures destroy these clear finishes in a day of fishing (or less). The best so far is a catalyzed automotive urethane from "House Of Kolor". I had some of these candy colors and clear left over from some helment paintjobs and found the clear to be hard and super glossy (but expensive). Does anyone know of a source for clear gelcoat (I assume that polyester gelcoat is best as it would be much harder than epoxy). AND would anyone recommend another type of clear topcoat?

I've been searching for a quality top clearcoat for my lures for years. I read some of the posts regarding epoxies, laquers and urethanes but have not had the result I wanted from any of these. I recently used a catalyzed custom automotive clear urethane from "House Of Kolor". I have used this paint for custom automotive applications for about 9 years and it is the most durable finish I'v found.
