Excellent product! I purchased this to clear coat a rock headstone with a picture and writing on it. I was so concerned that it would mess them up. Well I applied 1 coat and nothing happened. I was so relieved. I applied 3 coats and and it came out looking great. Now I don't have to worry about the weather ruining it!

Fantastic clear coat. Used it on a motorhome that I had just been painted with marine epoxy paint.Picture shown before any buffing done.I thought 2-3 qts. Would do it spraying. Turns out I needed 7 qts. $240 a gal.I could see using this for all kinds of projects.Crystal clear and turns hard.First time spraying with LVLP sprayer and got some runs. Ok. Not paints fault.If you figure you need two quarts and just go ahead and buy four cause you’ll need it.

Let me start off with that I'm not a painter. I purchased the 32oz can and I poured some in a separate cup. I then applied with a microfiber sponge and it didn't go as expected. The stuff went on thick and as soon as it goes on you can not work with this stuff out of the can. As for self leaving, it didnt work at all. There was a few areas that went on thinner but left lines so i though it would level out because it says it will but it didn't. I did more research after the fact and people are saying to thin it out before using it. This stuff does look good and it gets hard but make sure you use xlyene or whatever else that painters use to thin it out. This is why I gave 4 stars because the product doesn't say to thin it out before using it, unless I skipped over that part.

Works great. I used this to repair my camper that the clear coat was chipping off. I was impressed with the way it turned out

I was trying to decide between this product and Rust Bullet Clear Shot and can't remember why I chose KBS over Rust Bullet. Both products have a noxious chemical odor and require an incredible degree of ventilation during and after application but I have used Rust Bullet numerous times around the house and it stops off-gassing after about 8-10 hours if not sooner. Unless you can leave your home for a couple of days I would not recommend using KBS DiamondFinish on anything inside a house that people are living in. My family is extremely upset with me and I still have one more coat to apply! We all have headaches and sore throats due to the KBS fumes even with an extraction fan running around the clock and windows open for cross ventilation. I don't even know if this product will survive the test of time but simply the fumes alone and the fact that it should not be used for indoor projects are enough of a reason for me to give it a low rating. I would recommend Rust Bullet Clear Shot as an alternative. I painted an outdoor bench with Clear Shot and it's holding up exceptionally well and looks great.update: I reduced my rating to one star since the KBS coating I applied is still releasing noxious fumes four days after application! I have never used a product that smells this bad for such a long time. I decided to not use KBS for any additional coats and will switch to Rust Bullet clear shot instead. However, the length of time it is taking the KBS coating to fully cure and stop smelling is seriously impeding the progress of my project.final update: called KBS repeatedly about my issues with their product and everyone I spoke to at the company was extremely knowledgable and kind to me. I am still confused why the KBS coating took so long to cure and stop smelling. Supposedly it cures faster with high humidity and I was using it during a rainy period in damp/humid San Francisco, CA. In the end, in order to speed up the curing process, I had to open windows to the outside on rainy days to bring in damp air as well as run a fan blowing air over the stairs I was painting. Even with all of this - the KBS continued to smell for an entire nine days after initial application! After that I had to just move ahead with the work and prep and coat the KBS with Rust Bullet Clear Shot. I would never recommend a coating that takes so long to cure and smells so noxious. My project was held up for well over a week due to my decision to use KBS. I switched to Clear Shot and the noxious fumes were gone within 5-8 hours after application and my project is finally moving forward.

Best clearcoat I've used for fishing lures.
