For automotive vehicles and motorcycles use Aquathane Gloss. Do not use Acrylic Clear Overcoat on vinyl signs. For vinyl signs or letters use Vinyl Cote. Ronan Acrylic Clear Overcoat is available in gloss.

This UV inhibiting coating is designed for use as a topcoat on painted signs and bulletins where resistance to the effects of long-term exposure to sunlight and weather is a requirement. It helps prevent color degradation by reducing the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays, which cause premature fading. It is ideal for use over fluorescent colors to prolong color retention.

Important!! Before using clear topcoats, perform a patch test

1. to test adhesion
2. to determine if the clear causes any cracking or lifting of the surface coating
3. to determine that the clear gives the desired finish. (It is especially important to test for clarity over colors).
