DiamondFinish Clear Aerosol is an excellent clear coat to go over sealed wood. DiamondFinish Clear Aerosol is very easy to apply achieving professional looking results. DiamondFinish Clear Aerosol creates a durable finish that withstands all sorts of abuse without chipping, cracking, or peeling making it ideal to apply in some of the toughest environments. “The original finish was a furniture lacquer that only lasted about two years before getting sticky and unable to clean. I removed the old finish by first scraping because it fouled the sandpaper very quickly. I then sanded the wood down to 320 grit. I applied 3 coats of DiamondFinish Clear Aerosol using 4 passes each time. With 24hr drying. Then sanded each with 320 grit. I then applied 3 coats about 20 minutes apart and let it cure for 48+hrs. Then wet sanded with 320, 400,600, 800, 1000, 1500. Then hand buffed to final shine. I am very happy with the results and everyone in shows and cruises is amazed at the finish.” -Ed M.

DiamondFinish Clear is one of the most versatile clear coats on the market. DiamondFinish Clear is an ideal clear coat for restoring any painted wood surfaces including pinball machines because DiamondFinish Clear permanently bonds to the finish on the wood and adds gloss, durability and protection from the steel pinballs beating and banging on the surface. DiamondFinish Clear can also be used to seal and clear coat bare wood surfaces. The key to sealing a bare wood surface is thinning DiamondFinish Clear 30-50% with KBS #1 Thinner. This initial thinned out coat of DiamondFinish Clear allows the DiamondFinish Clear to really sink into the porous surface of the wood and adhere really well versus just sitting on the surface of the wood. After the initial thinned down coat of DiamondFinish Clear, DiamondFinish Clear is applied in nice thin coats. Check out the restored pinball machine below using DiamondFinish Clear.

“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
