Eastwood's single-stage urethane paints hold their gloss longer and won't yellow.

Use this kit with Eastwood's premium single-stage urethane paints or other manufacturer's base-coat systems. May even be used over factory finishes in good condition. Rat Rod Matte Clear is also ideal for interior parts, underhood components, hobbies and crafts.

Customer Testimonial

Hi! I'm T. C. Penick with Bayone Customs.

I have been building customs cars for 30 years. I have used Eastwood's Rat Rod Matte clear on several builds including my 2015 SEMA project known as Overstacked and had great results.
Matte topcoats are a little more reactive to application, product, and atmosphere therefore I try to always use the following guidelines when spraying a matte topcoat finish.

*Humidity needs to stay below 30% to avoid hazing and streaking due to trapping of flattening agent.
*Gun tip must stay parallel to the surface in order to avoid streaking.
*Use the slowest reducer possible to help even the out gas of the flattening agent. Also turning the booth off when done spraying will help for an even out gas *Reduce enough to get wide wet pattern.

Using the above guidelines paired with Eastwood products, I am confident you will have great results.

Sincerely,
T. C. Penick
