Post Clear coat on KEM 400
Are y'all clear coating KEM 400? I talked to Sherwin Williams and they said its not needed. I was wondering if the clear helps protect the paint from scratches or just a waste of money.

I'll put it this way, I skipped doing clear coat on mine and wish I would have done it. Its tough paint but I have managed to scratch the hell out of it. But I'm not easy on stuff.

Buddy of mine has it and his boat looks newer than my boat. His is well over a year old and min is about 2 weeks old. Doesn't hardly scratch and looks very clean.

I didn't put clear on mine but my boat builder does clear over kem 400 and has no issues.
I would recommend spraying clear

I was looking at getting the 5 start xtreme flat. How much to do a 1744? It comes in a quart or gallon.
