Post 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.

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

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 :D

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