BrianB Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I am doing a project I just need a glossy rattle can clear of some sort. The glossier the better with glossier being more important than durability. Weird request I know.. Anything out there that is readily available. I don't want to dip or airbrush.. Any ideas?

gone2long Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 If you have enough baits/parts/area to make it worth your while spraymax 2 part clear is great stuff but it has a 24 hour pot life from the time of activation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Automotive clear is more than likely as clear/glossy as you will get in a rattle can . Also helps if the can is warm , like 60 degrees or so . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 My Honda hybrid headlights are a dingy opaque yellowish hue. I think I'll try that stuff. What did you use for a degreaser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltwater Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I prefer ACE Premium Enamel. Why? Because it has an adjustable spray nozzle. Turn for either vertical or horizontal pattern. And it is quick drying...I am impatient to a fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltwater Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 basspikeperch, no none of the afore mentioned clear enamels protect the finish of a crankbait. Epoxy and other hard shell coatings do the best job for protection. Not all crankbaits need hard shell protection. I fish in weed and obstacle free ocean water with steel leader wire, so there is little wear or tear. A quick and easy spray of enamel works fine for me. Most of the time anyway.
