I am also interested in the clear coat. I have painted a couple reels (createx) which turned out very nice. However, I used automotive clear coat in a rattle can and after a season of fishing, the finish became gummy at wear areas and the finish and paint came off in those areas. I was told my a guy that owns a body shop that all rattle can clear coat is susceptible to heat from the sun and will become gummy.
I read the answer about the 2 part clear coat. How is it applied?
