I was looking at the DupliColor site, hoping to find a color chart or something to help me decide on a color (with no luck), and ended up reading the forums instead. There was a post that asked the same question I had in my head for some time. Does Duplicolor make a fuel resistant clear coat?
(From the Duplicolor forum)
So me being me, I decided since the technology exist to have a 2 part clear coat system in a spray can, somebody has to make it and I wanna know who. That's when I found this stuff.
Found a bunch of places that sell it, and it's not bad. $20 or less per can, plus shipping. Basicly I can get 2 cans to my door for less than $50. For that price, I'm willing to give it a shot, especially since they say it's chemical and gas resistant. I'm going to be painting my bike within the next 2 or 3 weeks using Duplicolor spray cans, then I'm going to try this clear coat. It might take a while, so be patient with me, but I'll post pics of the results and such as soon as they happen.
BTW - Here's a link to where I'm getting my clear from if you guys want to try it as well. http://www.repaintsupply.com/pd_2_part_2k_aerosol.cfm
Hey guys thanks for the questions and comments. It is true. It is very difficult to get a durable finish out of an aerosol can that will resist gas. Right now the technology DOES exist for a 2 part system in aerosol but Dupli-Color will not use this because of serious health concerns from isocyanates that may occur.
As mentioned, an automotive based 2 part clear applied with a spray gun can be used.
You might want to try our Paint Shop clear #BSP300 as well. I can't guarantee it will resist gas as well as a 2 part system but it might be a cheaper route. Also with the Paint Shop clear you can apply heavier coats than you could with an aerosol can.
