What type of clear coat did you use after you applied? Did it work or would you suggest some other clear coat?

Actually I didn't even use a clear coat. It came out good so I left it alone. It's been 2 years now since I applied it and it still looks good!

I used water based polyurethane and love it. I used the rustoleum brand in gloss (maybe it's called high gloss). I waited for the paint to completely dry for about a week, and then I applied 2 coats. It went on really easily and looks much better than it did without it. Also now the fridge is very easy to clean. There is not a single scratch or anything. I would highly recommend putting the polyurethane on. The water based poly doesn't smell, dries in about an hour and cleans up with water.

I left a review. It looked like new for a few months. Then it developed a haze. The clear coat seems to become opaque. It does scratch easily also. After 1 year I re-did mine because I hated the hazy look again. It was much easier to de-do because most of the oxidation was already sanded off last year. I prefered the Wipe New due to easier to use sanding pad and pre-soaked clear coat micro fiber patch applied it evenly and easily without runs or dripping. I used the rag afterwords on the black plastic trim and tailight lenses to amazing effect. I expect it will also haze after a year and be hard to remove but it looks fantastic for now.

For best results, you should use a topcoat. I used two coats of Polyacrylic topcoat by General Finishes.

Get one that has little to no fuzz. You won't be able to use it on the first coat. You need the brush to get intothe cracks, crevices, etc. Second/third coat--roller was great. Got a very smooth covering with no drip marks.

By step 3, do you mean glaze or clear coat? How much have you done? What color? If you mean glaze, you can't remove it after it dries. If you just did one door, you could probably put base coat back over it and try again.

I'm not too sure I haven't really tried any but I use a revlon base coat it has worked pretty good on me so I just kept using it .

I had used clear finish in the past. This time I went with the matte finish and I like matte better for sure.

I have not used clear, but have used other polishes such as Revlon and Essential with no problem.

I apply over first coat. Wait 5 days & remove & apply again. I use as my base coat if applying color polish.

I guess....but why you would want to do that idk. You might want to add a clear coat afterwards if you actually try that.

Use a gloss black primer, and then paint *extremely* light coats of chrome, building it up slowly. I find that 2-3 coats works best, and it dries very quickly in between coats. I have looked everywhere for a "manual" or directions, but have not found one, so the info I am giving you is based on my own tests. I tried it many different ways, and only gloss black with light chrome coats gave me the high polish results I was looking for. It should also be sealed if it's going to be even lightly handled, and again the sealing should be done with a very light hand. I would recommend testing on plastic spoons to make sure you have things right before you go to model, as stripping this stuff is a real PITA. Happy Painting!

I used an impregnator sealant because I didn't want shiny countertops. It didn't work as well as we'd hoped. :( I asked someone on Instagram who also had concrete counters (that looked gorgeous) what she used: Trewax Stone & Tile Finish. I'll be doing another coat in the next year or so and plan to use that.

It works for me, but you should use 2 coats as a base, and then apply daily over polish for best results. I just ordered my 3rd bottle. I have tried them all, and I get good results with this.

It will have to be a trial and error process I'm sure. I put on two thin coats and let it sit for twenty minutes. Then I rinse it off and do it a second time the same way. Sometimes, depending on the type of glass, I may have to apply a third time (but this is very rare). I like a heavier etch, however. For a light etch, one time is plenty.

I didn't get a chrome finish. It was more of a silver and when I tried to use gloss clear coat it went bad. It could have been the material I was painting. Try a test piece of material to see what reaction you get. Mike
