Has anyone found Rustoleum Clear in a brush on can? I tried some of the clear coat in a spay can, but it has a lot more orange peel than the roller method. I would like to try rollering it on.

I went on Rustoleums site, and they only sell the Canadian Tremclad in a brush on clear

Darn. I knew I didn't see any at Home Depot or Walmart. The can stuff definitely goes on better.

I sprayed a test coat Rusto Clear on the trunk lid that I scraped all the clear coat off of (after buffing with Turtle Wax Polish) and it worked pretty well, but doesn't level as nicely as the roll on. If it ever stops raining and we get some more of that global warming I will see how it wet sands and polishes. By the way that big blob to the right of the 780 badge is where the previous owner did some touch-up with some kind of paint that doesn't peel off nicely like the clear coat. I hesitated to sand the original base coat, but that has to come off, and polishing compound won't do it.

I will be in Canada for a few days next month. Maybe I will drop into a Canadian Tire Store. I wonder if I can transport that stuff on a plane in my suitcase?

I saw this on Speed TV's Truck universe show this weekend:

http://www.truckuniversetv.com/home/

It's called Dupli-color Paint Shop Finish System.
(Description Taken from the Truck Universe website.)
"Body Shop is a high-quality lacquer system designed for automotive application. Body Shop is easy to apply, dries quickly, and can be buffed to a brilliant smooth surface.

Body Shop is a ready-to-spray system - no mixing or reducing is required. There is no re-coat window for any of the products in the system - allowing for additional coats to be applied anytime.

Available in 8 colors plus primer and clear."

This sounds very promising. Unfortunately, there is not much information on the product. In fact, there is nothing on Dupli-color's site yet. I just hung up the phone with their tech group and they are going to send a brochure to me. What they did tell me was that it is thinned with acetone and that it is ready for recoating in 5-10 minutes. He said that he thinks that it could be brushed on. Since it dries so quickly, I wonder if it would level out properly…

Any thoughts?

the only thoughts i have is that you still have to spray, spray = mess, and that's the only reason i'm avoiding it, but duplicolors products are extreemly good quality paints/systems.

I painted this car (71 beetle, midnight blue metalic) with duplicolor single stage system (uses all duplicolors primer, primer sealer, paint, and reducers):





And i've used duplicolors vinyl/fabric paint, and engine enamel. All of their products were great, so i think anything else that they produce would be just as good. Their engine enamel is really awesome, that stuff is the BEST paint i've ever used as far as engine enamels.

Here's my 74 beetle engine painted 7yrs ago, and it still looks perfect, and that's in a air-cooled VW which typically run ALOT hotter than water cooled cars.

69chargeryeehaa,

I apologize for my ignorance...
Why couldn’t this the Duplicolor Paint Shop Finish Sysytem be applied using the roller method? Is it simply a case where it would dry too quickly?
