“Glass bead blasted the entire surface. Two thin coats of XTC Zinc Primer 24 hrs. apart. Then Two coats of XTC Stainless Steel paint 24 hrs. apart. I then used some Black for the handle, Red for the vents and Flame Blue for the trim & drawers. I'm tickled with the end product and look forward to many many years of maintenance free service. Used a Wagner Power Sprayer & it worked great.” -Steve S XTC Primer | XTC

“This was a 4 X 8 foot plywood sign (double-sided) that I originally did about 8 years ago, for a friend's restaurant. It was very faded and weathered; but the basic plywood was still in good shape. So we sanded it well, primed and re-lettered it.(hand painted). Then put the KBS Diamond Clear on it. Looks great!! It sits out in a parking lot, with one side in the sun for most of the day ... I'm very satisfied with the product, so far.” -Dale F. DiamondFinish Clear

“Before & After pics of my LT1/4L60E for my '68 C-10 project. All coatings are Motor Coater. Block is Velvet Black, the rest are Gloss Black, and Aluminum that has been Diamond Clear-coated. Diamond Clear on raw polished aluminum and steel parts as well. Motor Coater and Diamond Clear are my "go to" coatings for the things I want to have a nice finish on. Awesome stuff!” -Chad M.

“When undertaking a custom engine install on my 1972 Buick Riviera the KBS BlackTop OEM Satin Black did absolute wonders for refreshing the engine bay. My choice of color for the new crate engine is KBS MG Maroon Engine Paint. KBS clear was used for the final clear coat on the car and when spraying the KBS clear in several light coats I had excellent results. I will use KBS paint products again for future restoration projects” -David P. BlackTop | Motor Coater | DiamondFinish Clear

“This frame from my 1956 Chevy was extremely rusted and I wasn't sure how it would turn out however, as you see it's remarkable! I will use KBS products on all my restoration projects.” -Jeff M https://www.kbs-coatings.com/frame-coater-kit.html

“1976 Honda trail 70 I restored using all KBS products. KBS Strip, RustBlast, Black & Crazy Plum MAXX paint & DiamondFinish Clear ... All products worked just like they said they would. MAXX & Clear sprayed perfect with high gloss an no runs ... As a matter of fact I couldn't make it run!!! All dried supper hard! Then used KBS UnderCoat inside frame. On motor cases I used the silver Motor Coater & topped it with the DiamondFinish Clear. I tell all my friends about how good KBS Products are!” -Robert T.

“Leaky windshield removed to reveal rusty channel. Cleaned with wire brush and then followed directions as described. Channel looks great and ready for glass!” -Jason A. Be sure to check out the System Sampler and BlackTop.

“DiamondFinish Clear came out really great after letting the base coat (Pettit EasyPoxy polyurethane/silicone) cure for a week and after only one coat of DiamonFinish brush-on clear, some wet sanding with 1000 and 2000 grit and compound in some areas and to fix a few sags due to shape of the object. ...I'm very happy with the result.” -Marinus Please check out DiamondFinish Clear.

“We were rebuilding the 360 V8 to put into a 1977 AMC Matador station wagon. Using the correct AMC blue paint was important, and KBS had the hard to find AMC blue paint that was used in the 70s only.” -Brian B. Be sure to check out Motor Coater.

“I am working on a frame-off restoration 1968 Jeep CJ5. The frame was sandblasted then coated with two coats of KBS RustSeal applied with a 2" brush. There was little to no rust on my frame, so per the application flow chart, the RustSeal was applied directly to the clean blasted metal.” -Tim E. Be sure to check out RustSeal.

“This is my idea of a fun Resto Mod on my '75 CJ5. The Frame was completely reworked and rewelded then KBS Kleaned, RustBlasted and and finally sprayed with RustSeal.. I got carried away since its down to the frame anyway and have been giving every nut and bolt a going over. Its not a show vehicle but with a 454 BBC it will show pretty well I think! :-)” - Henry S https://www.kbs-coatings.com/frame-coater-kit.html

"I wire wheeled the entire tub, used the three stage Chassis kit Chassis Paint Kit - KBS All-In-One Chassis Kit - KBS Coatings - prewash, metal prep, then applied paint with a brush/roller,.. I painted the chassis, tub (inside & out), fenders, hood, bumpers and windshield frame.. The main thing with this type of paint is to do ALL of the prep work, however painstaking it may be, and READ the instructions twice before starting. (That advice is for any of the rust preventive sealer paints.)" -JavaTree on Jeepforum.com

“Finished my fuel tank this past weekend and all went well. I had first started with cleaning the tank and welding a few holes up in my 44 gallon aluminum tank. I do have to say that this all took a matter of weeks to complete because of proper drying and work schedule. The process was very straight forward. I couldn't believe how well the Gold Standard coated the inside of the tank with multiple baffles in the tank. I then painted the exterior with gloss black. This being in the hull of my boat never to be seen by sun again but it sure looks good. Thanks for such a great product!" -Glenn B. RustSeal Tank Sealer

“I used your Pure White XTC spray on paint to solve what has been a constant problem with the side pipes on my car since I've had it. After a good prep & XTC Primer, several coats applied as directed, I now have the best results yet. Thank You!” -Bill C. https://www.kbs-coatings.com/XTC.html

“Had my Ford 6G high output alternator rebuilt, and wanted to refinish it. Regular spray paint just do not hold up under the hood. I tried Rustseal Safety Blue, as it was close to Ford blue. Glad I did! Was very easy to apply, spread well and self leveled perfectly on all the alternators cast surfaces. Once it cured, it was not only rock hard, but the blue is beautiful!! The color is awesome, bright and looks great!!” -Robert B. Check Out RustSeal

“A few years back I was searching for a product that I could brush on and level itself to a sprayed finish appearance. DiamondFinish Clear was it! I use this product to seal and finish out door public art sculptures. These photos are of the most recent project I'm working on which made the news during a press conference. Thank you for the quality professional Finish from KBS !! I'm also letting more people know how great this product is. I have been spraying and brushing finishes for twenty plus years and have never used a better product with a brush than KBS DiamondFinish Clear. Thank you!” -Peter B.

“I used RustSeal to paint the area around my CNC machinery in January 2008. Two coats, and nothing else on top. I cleaned and prepped the oily floor per KBS instructions. Almost 8 years later and no chipping or pealing. Great finish for the money. I would take this over epoxy any day. Please remember your surface prep is key!!” -Kitwilbur from Fitchburg, MA

“Fixed the pictured rust on the lower doors of my 2004 Tahoe. I found this to be a great fix. Well worth the small cost a minimal effort to get Peace of mind... Especially with winter getting here! I purchased the sampler kit and watched the KBS YouTube video which was informative. I recommend anyone wanting to do this repair, to watch the video. My order arrived on time. Very well put together. I definitely recommend their products. Thank you KBS!” -Joseph S. System Sampler

"I purchased in November but was finally able to put the stuff on today. I bought the Cavity Coater with spray gun and 36" wand. This process went so much smoother than expected. Once I figured out the psi and the nozzle without the wand it was kind of fun. Customer service has been great! I called 3 different times and each time has been very pleasant, informative and helpful. I asked about regulator settings for the spray gun and set it up at 55psi. Worked great. Time will tell if the Cavity Wax stands the test. I am optimistic to say the least. I sprayed both rockers, 4 full sized doors, both front fenders, tailgate, rear bumper and basically the whole inner bed sides …

“I am a 42 y/o female who have never painted a vehicle before but after receiving prices over $10,000 for what I wanted, I did it myself with a little help from my husband. I used it on my YJ Jeep using a chameleon paint powder which was green/blue/purple. My husband bought me a spray gun for the air compressor and after wet sanding, primer and black base coats I used KBS clear gloss and added my chameleon powder and as I begin to spray you could see the color changing flake pop. The gloss sprayed very smooth which made it very easy for me. I did reduce to 70/30. Over all, after six month of research I am totally happy I went with KBS clear gloss. It looks wet after it's …

“I am restoring a55 2nd series Chevy pick up. First I mechanically removed the heavy scale with a wire wheel. Then washed everything with KBS Klean, at a 10 to 1 mix. It worked great and cleaned all oil and grease residue,I rinsed and let it dry. Then came the RustBlast, I sprayed it on, kept the parts wet and the rust disappeared, when I was happy with the result, I rinsed and let dry. Now all part had a zinc phosphate coating. Then I applied 2 thin coats of rust seal. This stuff is tuff and dries hard and encapsulates the steel. I don't see how it could ever rust again. Great products yield great results!” -Tony M.

"To whom it concerns, I purchased the 3 step coating for fuel tanks from you and I am very satisfied so far. I used your product on 2 steel fuel tanks we made 20 years ago and were getting very rusty with this fuel we get now. We followed the instructions to a tee and everything seemed to go just fine. I can shine a light in the tanks and see clearly to the bottom of them. The only thing left is how well the product will hold up and that is time. From the time on the phone ordering it until I received it was also a great experience. Thanks again for your prompt service, making sure I was getting the right product and getting the right amount and explaining the process.…

"I am writing to let you know that I used your product in the gas tank of me 63' VW Bus and it worked great. It has been a 3 year partial restoration process and I have tried to save money along the way and do as many things myself. I could have bought a new gas tank but once I heard about the KBS product I gave it a try. I have to admit I was hesitant to put gas in it at first after the engine was rebuilt but there have been no issues at all." -Jeff N Tank Sealer Kits: https://www.kbs-coatings.com/tank-sealers.html

Customer Tip: "I found something that works awesome with KBS Klean and RustBlast. It's called a Nyalox brush. It's like those wire wheel brushes you use with a drill, but it's much better for this application. I used the fine grade brush at 1500rpm with KBS Klean and that alone cleaned up most of the rust!I used it with RustBlast and scrubbed for about 2 minutes, it pretty much made the surface perfect!"

“We purchased two spray cans of XTC high temp primer and two cans of XTC high temp black paint. We removed our mufflers / exhaust from our car, prepped the areas to be painted and followed the instructions on the can. All we can say is we are VERY impressed with the before and after results. We highly recommend the XTC line for those who are considering a similar project!”-Officer Martinez from Fort Worth, TX
