jeremycnwy Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hey guys I am making some lures for gifts for co-workers that have our company logo on them. I am looking for the easiest and best looking top coat when water resistance and durability is not an issue. I am painting with createx. Thanks in advance !

Matt Moreau Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 IMHO, I would say the cheapest, easiest and most user friendly would be polyurethane.... this of course when durability and water resistance are not a factor. You probably could also use rattlecan clear but I have never used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for the easiest and best looking top coat when water resistance and durability is not an issue. I am painting with createx. Thanks in advance ! I finish my model airplanes with Future (Pledge with Future Shine) only. For a crankbait, I would do two dip coats. This isn't the shiniest clear coat, but looks great and doesn't distort the color much at all, much less. If they are going to be handled much, I wouldn't suggest this route.

mark poulson Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Try Target Coatings' super clear interior urethane, SC9000. http://www.targetcoatings.com/shop/catalog/SuperClear_9000_Water_Based_Polyurethane_Series-25-1.html It will hold up to handling, and does not diminish the paint scheme at all. I use it for my bass lures, and it holds up fine for that, even though it's labeled interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgreene49 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I thin down duplacolor clearcoat from o'rielys and spray several thin coats then the last coat kind of heavy but not to heavy to where it runs but you have to do it with in a hour in low humidity and let it cure for a week it makes almost any paint job look good and it's pretty tough too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
