SEM 13013 Satin Clear Color Coat - 12 oz.

I used this product in conjunction with the Saddle Tan color coat for my project. My fiberglass upper windows came primed and I prepped, did the color, then the clear. SEM makes a good product and will assist with questions. I did a significant amount of research before reaching out to SEM to see if their product would suit my needs. I described my project and they answered my technical questions regarding prep, set, intended substrate, durability etc.Photos attached. I used this for Wrangler TJ fiberglass uppers from Bulldawg Manufacturing.SEM color coat is not technically paint, however its not like plasti-dip that will easily rub off either. The quality of the spray can works very well and sprays a quality pattern that is easy to guide. The coverage is solid and it goes on thick so best to use quick light coats that dry quickly. Once you read the instructions, the key is to prep properly, lightly sand primer with 400 grit and then go over it with a tac cloth. Ensure ambient temperature is adequate for proper drying as well!

We purchased all the spray products, from the adhesion promoter, primer, color coat, and clear coat satin finish. In addition to following the can direction, we also followed some very specific technique directions we found on the internet, about painting plastic dashboards (which was the project). Basically, follow all can directions, GENTLY and LIGHTLY WET sand the surfaces with 800 grit, dry, and clean well with alcohol before starting.Start with adhesion promoter, follow can instruction.Then spray primer, color, and clear coat in 2 - 3 very light coats, each, and when you finish all primer coats, wait 24 hours to start color coats, and do the same when color coats are done, and you are ready to clear coat the piece(s). We allowed all of that to dry for 48 hours, before reinstalling.It looks wonderful. Not like we just spray painted a dash. It's a hard finish, and no chips or scratches when it was re-installed in the vehicle.Compared to spray paint, it's a little pricey, but it was well worth every penny.

In my review for Satin Black, the gloss I bought paired with that to restore my dash in a 1980 Ford. Gloss adds just the right sheen and protection. SEM is an excellent product IF you follow their process. Do your homework, and prep properly. You will not be disappointed.

Leaves a very professional finish with an OEM-feel! No complaints except the nozzle is finicky and can spatter if your pointer finger isn’t well-practiced on the exact center. Take breaks to avoid stirring up the aerosol too much and you’ll improve your chances of a spatter-free clear coat!

Used to seal a dye job on my car's steering wheel. Hoping it will slow down the wear that takes place causing the dye to fade etc. Time will tell.

Just what I needed for my work at HEAVYWEIGHT SEWING SPECIALIST, I love it. Thanks!

For such an expensive product you would think that the nozzle that dispenses the aerosol would have been designed properly. I sprayed three cans of this stuff and had the same problem with each, i.e., paint spatter. Without any warning small drops of the paint would suddenly be discharged onto the work piece leaving an ugly blotch that couldn't be covered even after six coats. If finally figured out what was causing the problem, but the solution isn't as easy as might appear. Finger fatigue from nozzle depression caused me to extend my index finger a little too far forward and interfere ever so slightly with the jet of aerosol leaving the nozzle. The result was spattering of paint on the work surface. One might quickly attribute this to operator error, but think again. The cheap can of primer that I bought had a much more ergonomically designed nozzle that would have prevented this problem had that design been included on the SEM product. I might buy this paint again; time will tell how it wears. But if I do I will be sure to invest in an aerosol paint applicator with a gun grip before I attempt to apply any paint. For the price of one can, a more ergonomically designed nozzle or an applicator should have been included.

Time will tell. Used or 1 side of car. Not on other
