legiticus Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 I'd like to use acrylic as a clear coat on a project, but I may have to go with DEFT (nitro) if I can't find a decent satin acrylic lacquer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Quote
Nitefly SA Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 duplicolor may produce a satin clear, check them out Quote
legiticus Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Posted February 20, 2006 I know they make a gloss...actually used it with some success on a car. It doesn't appear that they make a satin though. Quote
Racer X Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 Stay away from Duplicolor. I have heard horror stories, merely because their paint is too soft, once cured. There has to be better options, out there. Quote
legiticus Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Posted February 21, 2006 Krylon has a satin acrylic. Thanks. Quote
MoCaster Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 Watco makes semi gloss and satin lacquer. Quote
legiticus Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks I'll check Watco out as well. Any idea where it can be purchased? Quote
MoCaster Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 Thanks I'll check Watco out as well. Any idea where it can be purchased? In Canada it's available at Home Hardware and Rona, not sure if that helps ya cause I don't know where you are. Quote
legiticus Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Posted February 23, 2006 I'm in Texas It looks like it's made by Rustoleum. Quote
Daniel Sorbera Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 Texas eh? where abouts? You should try minwax poly satin. I've had good results with it. You can find it at Home Depot. (and it's dirt cheap, like $3 a can) Quote
