clearcoat for plastic ?
This is a rattle can job that doesn't have to be "show bike" perfect but I'd like to get it right the first time. I've already painted the fender but I just finished stripping the side covers. (soaking in brake fluid is THE BEST way to do that) I'm using Rust-oleum "Paint for Plastic" Claret Wine color which matched as close as I could get to the original color. Looks really nice on the fender. I'd like to put a coating of Clearcoat on it but don't know what to use. Any suggestions that won't ruin the finish or the plastic? Thanks.Tags: None

Well, when I did my fender I used plastic primer on the grey plastic, then over top of that I shot it with an entire 400ml can of colormatch touch up paint. Then an entire 200ml can of automotive clearcoat. It turned out pretty good. I don't know if you can go over rustoleum with automotive clear without it wrinkling up.

Make sure you get a clearcoat that is gasoline resistant. Found that out the hard way....so much effort gone to waste
