Re: CLEAR COAT
A common paint or fiberglass gelcoat or filon restoration problem, it has an easier solution than you might think. And, before I go any further, let me first say my name is Bill Rice and I am the owner of Vivilon Coatings. So, any bias you wish to attribute to my answer is out in the open. During the past 29 years, one of my biggest frustrations has been educating people on the simple fact that they don't have to wax or even repaint when they can rejuvenate with a clear coat (like mine) or many automotive clear coats from PPG, DuPont, Spies Hecker and the like.
What were doing here isn't brain surgery or chemical vodoo magic, like so many of my imitators would have you believe. The clearcoat does the same job as it does on original auto paint, ie., it wets the color (pigment) in the basecoat giving it depth of color (luster) and a high gloss shine. ANY product that brings moisture to the paint will do the same thing. Don't believe me? Pour some regular mazola oil on to a piece of faded metal scrap. AMAZING! It restores the color and shine. It only lasts a few days and therein lies the difference between it, my imitators, the DuPont's of the world and IMHO, Me.
So, you don't have to polish an old, faded, chalky, ozidized or sun weathered paint, fiberglass, filon or any other surface before you apply the clear coat to rejuvenate, refinish and restore the color, luster and shine. Just wash the surface to make sure there is no contamination (like wax or oils) to interfere with the proper adhesion of the coating and spray away.
Don't know how to spray? I've written a very detailed tutorial on spraying to help you get started. Or take it to a body shop and have them spray it. Material for any RV is $200 or less (for mine)or the PPG's, if for some reason you don't like me or my product. But, don't waste your time, money or get frustrated, just clear coat your RV.
Any of the products I've mentioned (and others like Ditzler & Sherwin Williams) will give your vehicle excellent sun protection from fading and oxidation, clean up will be a snap, those pesky love bugs will wash right off and you can enjoy a clean and shiny vehicle and...have FUN.
Now that you have read all this , here it comes...the shameless plug for my product. I really hope you consider Vivilon but get a really primo clear coat from me or one of the manfacturers I've listed. You'll be glad you did
Thank you!
