DiamondFinish Clear Coat by KBS Coatings 16 Fl Oz High Solids Clear

Description

Product Overview

DiamondFinish Clear is engineered as a premium moisture-cured urethane clear coat that delivers over 60 percent solids, providing a thick, protective film in a single application. The formulation is low VOC, meeting modern environmental standards while still offering the high performance demanded by automotive professionals. Unlike traditional two-part systems, DiamondFinish Clear does not require a separate hardener; simply stir and apply. The clear coat cures at ambient temperatures ranging from 50 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit, eliminating the need for heat lamps or UV curing equipment. Its high-gloss finish enhances the visual depth of any paint job, while the flexible polymer matrix resists cracking, peeling, and yellowing even under extreme temperature fluctuations up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. The product is available in multiple container sizes, from 16 fluid ounces up to a 5‑gallon bulk option, allowing users to select the volume that best fits the scope of their project.

Usage

DiamondFinish Clear is suitable for a wide range of automotive applications. It can be applied directly to bare metal surfaces that have been pre‑treated with a compatible primer, or it can be layered over existing paintwork to restore gloss and add an extra barrier against environmental contaminants. The clear coat excels on high‑temperature components such as cylinder heads, engine blocks, brake calipers, and inlet manifolds, providing protection without the typical yellowing associated with heat exposure. Its chemical resistance makes it ideal for areas exposed to fuels, solvents, brake fluid, battery acid, ethanol, methanol, MEK, hydrochloric acid, fertilizers, and acetone. For restoration projects, the product can be brushed, rolled, or sprayed, offering flexibility in application method based on the user’s tools and preferences. Recommended ambient conditions for optimal curing are between 50 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit with relative humidity below 80 percent. After application, a cure time of 24 to 48 hours yields a fully hardened, durable finish ready for handling.
