 What kind of clear coat
Just finished refinishing my 16x44 go devil boat. Spent a few days prepping it and finally got around to painting it. I just finished the paint and completely rebuilt the trailer. But I have no clue what kind of clear to paint it with. The base coat is duralux aluminum paint. It's a vinyl type paint and I can't find a clear coat for it. And help from y'all?

I used rust oleum rattle can gloss. It's held up pretty darn good so far. Walmart and lowes and HD all carry it.

 Re: What kind of clear coat
Call Sherwin Williams and ask them. They can tell you exactly which type of clear coat to get.

 Re: What kind of clear coat
I called every local paint place today and I finally gave up. As soon as I said I need to clear over vinyl type paint no one had anything to help. I finally said screw it and ordered some 5 star Xtreme flat clear. Also picked up a natgear stencil set. Btw 36 efi prodrive is about to be on the way

 Re: What kind of clear coat
I have a flat clear on my boat, I like the fact it doesn't shine, but seems to not scratch as easy
