spray on clear coat
Has anyone found a good spray-on clear coat? I am wanting to find a spray-on clear for my swimbaits and was hoping to find something like an auto-clear that's tough.
Thx.

Re: spray on clear coat
Jed, there are numerous high solids urethane clears that will work, they are all expensive! With limited shelf life once opened. PPG and Dupont are most likely easier to find here.
Just about all the major automotive paint manufactures have an high quality clear.

Re: spray on clear coat
Look at "spar Urethane". You can find it at Home Depot. It comes in spray cans or dip cans. It is definitly not epoxy but it is the toughest spray on I have found. It takes about 5 coats to get a good finish.

Re: spray on clear coat
The 2-part clears are designed to be sprayed. The best method for applying to lures would be with a detail gun, conventional or hvlp will work. However with conventional guns the paint is atomized more which translate to slicker finish. A conventional gun uses more material than a hvlp which don't shoot clear as slick. You will need a good full face respirator and a booth capable of dispatching with the fumes and overspray.

Re: spray on clear coat
I currently spray D.N.'s topcoat with my airbrush.I thin it a little with high quality lacquer thinner and and spray light coats rotating between lures. About 5 coats works pretty well for me, sometimes waiting 24 hours and spraying 2 or 3 more thin coats. I've had pretty good results so far, and almost eliminated the use of my lure turner. Just be sure to thoroughly clean your gun immediately after you finish.

Re: spray on clear coat
I have been using Omni Clear for about 3 years. You can not follow the mixing directions or the clear will be to hard. It is very clear but thin so you would have to apply 3 to 4 coats. The issue I see with this is the flex that you would need. If this stuff flexes it will crack all over. Just my opinion. I have been looking for a better clear to use on crankbait with out buying epoxy.
