steveo Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I see reference to top coats as the best way to protect against UV as the Rust Seal paints alone do not have UV. I see mentions of using top coats that match the color of the Rust Seal paint because the Clear Top Coat lets the sun pass through and does not provide UV protection. But when you look under top coats there is only one color White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBS Coatings Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 At this time, DiamondFinish Top Coat comes in White. We also have BlackTop (which is a UV stable top coat) that comes in Gloss Black or OEM Satin Black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Ok if I am going to have top coats that match all the colors in the future the questions arises. why not just add the top coat UV protection striaght into RustSeal paint so I am not having to apply two seperate products?

KBS Coatings Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 The UV stability is determined by the resins used in the coating. We sell RustSeal which is the ultmiate in Rust Prevention, but it is a UV sensitive coating. If we made RustSeal with different resins which were UV stable, RustSeal would not be the ultimate in Rust Prevention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 That answer makes perfect sense. Can I suggest you create a section or FAQ on the site that answers the question of why two products are needed that are the same color to accomplish top rust portections and UV protection. Hence a John Deere Rust Seal John Deere Top Coat Also, I can buy sun-tan lotion that is also a bug repellent in one spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
