2020-4-6 Yes, Eastwood makes a bare metal clearcote spray. Good luck. Yes, you can clearcoat over polished aluminum in order to keep down the maintenance, but as mentioned, the surface needs to be grease/oil/particulate free otherwise it will look like A$$.
2007-7-25 I know that clear over bare aluminum is possible, because my current wheels seem to be this way. Most wheel painting guides I have seen involve scuffing the surface, then spraying primer, then color, then clear. Close enough... They`ll never notice anyway. 07-22-2007, 07:15 AM #2.
2020-8-3 A clear coat is a transparent resin or layer of paint that's usually applied over colored surfaces. Clear coats are fancied for their shiny look and ability to protect
预计阅读时间：5 分钟2008-3-28 2006. A. Hello Joe; hello Michael. Remember that there are countless grades of aluminum, and some are optimized for clearcoating while others aren't. If the part was originally clearcoated or clear anodized, it's probably a good alloy for brightness; but if you stripped paint off of it, it's probably an alloy that wasn't intended to retain brightness and doesn't do as well.
2013-1-15 A good builder doesn't need to use filler and painters love them for it. It makes their job easier and the paintwork shows. Simply rub your finger over a fine fillet braze to feel the difference. Or watch the light reflect off the paint as it coats the
2018-5-23 Never coat BMF with a clear coat. That will make the BMF look like a painted surface. The beauty of BMF is that it is not a painted surface. Decals are easy to apply to a BMF surface. Just put a few drops of dishwashing detergent into the warm water and the decals will slide easily over the BMF. It is important to trim the carrier film from the ...
2015-3-24 Clear powder coat would be a good option. I haven't heard much about clear flaking off bare metal. But honestly, I'd run the bare metal as is for a while and see what you're up against before worrying too much about it. Carry some steel wool or sand paper with you.

2021-10-29 Can you clear coat bare steel? A good clear epoxy will adhere to bare metal only if it has been cleaned properly, and I sugjest using an etching solution on it to promote adhesion. There are several companies who offer clear epoxy, you just need to see what's available in your area.
2011-4-26 Hey all, I want to put some clear over bare satin aluminum where I want to maintain its appearance and avoid the usual dull grey look that eventually happens. The catch is that its on an intake manifold and a timing cover/water pump. So heat may be a problem. Any recommendations or advice...
2008-9-17 I put clear over bare metal on a bike we built in '96. I did some research and a paint rep told me clear Imron had etching properties and was super hard. We ground the metal in 80 grit and sprayed 5 coats of Imron over it. I didn't chemical etch it
2011-6-11 Its your rig, but I have a clear coated Raw SC Blur and what I love most about the finish are all the imperfections (e.g., the scratches, stains, fingerprints, etc.) that come through with the clearcoat. Best finish ever IMO. It makes the bike 100% truly unique (the finish anyway). Try to find a Raw SC (the blur and nomad both are available raw).

2011-5-26 I did an 86 FZ750 that way, stripped the steel tank down to bare metal, polished the heck out of it. Then cleared it. I used a good fast 2 part urethane clear coat, and never had any problems. Rode the bike for 6 years, sold it, repainted it for the new owner and it was JUST starting to get little tiny rust spiders showing by the rear tank ...
2016-7-18 I have had great success using Rust-Oleum clear on bare metal parts. But there is a trick to it to keep the metal from looking rusty over time. Before you paint you should first degrease with a good cleaner, then heat up the part to chase away any moisture that may be in the surface of the base metal. When the part is cool enough to paint ...

2008-7-21 Clear coat is not designed to bond to bare metal. Its designed to bond to basecoat. I've seen a few bikes here in Washington with cleared bare metal and they're all rusting. If you really want to do it use a high end clear and a VERY good water separator on your airline. You don't want any moisture getting in that clear.
2009-1-21 Clear coat will have adhesion issues to both polished bare aluminum, as well as out coated skins. Thermal expansion as well as flexing will cause cracking and flaking. Clear coats are hard and need lots of adhesion. If you were just coating an aluminum something a ruther to sit on your mantel at home, you would be fine.
2020-12-28 13. Trophy Points: 78. Here is the latest project I used chrome allusion on. I just mix a small amoumt, about a teaspoon , in a full gun. Hard to see the affect, but it really is cool with the sun on it. This clock is 34 inches in diameter and will be put on a cable spool end by
2011-6-11 I'm really frustrated because I just spent 12+ hrs polishing and brushing my new raw aluminum Tracer VP and took it to powdercoat (Olympic in Santa Ana) and was highly discouraged from clear powdercoating on raw aluminum because the heat process will most likely expose all kind of stains, scratches, fingerprints, etc. that are in the aluminum (even though it looks just the way I want right now).
Can you clear coat over bare metal? Clear will work for a while but on bare metal it will begin to yellow over time and eventually start to lift off the metal. What can I spray on bare metal to prevent rust? The Rust-Oleum 10.25 oz. Aerosol Rust Inhibitor prevents rust without the use of paint.

Aluminum wheels usually have a clear coat of paint to protect the bare aluminum or painted areas. Over time, the clear coat can chip and flake as well as turn yellow. Wheels can also get scratched and gouged in day-to-day use. If your aluminum wheels have a
2010-5-12 This AP-01 acts as a bonding agent between the properly prepared metal and your choice of clear. Never tried this system or shooting clear right over bare metal, but I haven't met anyone who's had good luck with clear right on metal either. scootermcrad, May 12, 2010. SHARE POST #16.

2021-5-28 Originally Answered: Can I put a coat of clear lacquer over a bare steel bicycle frame? You can. Clear laquer, because it doesn't have as much solids in it, doesn't provide much barrier against moisture. A steel frame will start showing flyspeck rust in a few months.
2009-12-12 I'm probably going to do it over again, because I didn't seem to do a good enough job getting rid of the sanding marks from the coarser grades, so the reflection is a bit uneven, but that is beside the point. Does anyone have any recommendations for a clear-coat for polished aluminum, for preventing scuff marks or fingerprints?
2006-1-25 I'm new to painting with new high quality clear coat (Ive only used the cheap rattle can stuff) but I am interested in painting some bare aluminum pieces with just clear coat (no primer or base coat).
