Hycote Double Acrylic Spray Paint, Clear Lacquer, 400 ml

I’ve used this brand before painting directly onto steel brackets and after a few years they still look good and remain protected. The matt Spray has proven to be an excellent choice for my custom plastic paint job on a spa outlet, ensuring durability and longevity without chipping or washing off. It is a perfect match for my Matt black bathroom componentsApplying the spray at room temperature provided excellent coverage, and it dried evenly, leaving a desirable matte finish. The spray nozzle's easy control facilitated a smooth application process, contributing to a professional-looking result. I used in conjunction with a plastic primer and clear matt lacquer, also ensuring that the surfaces were well keyed and degreased.It's crucial to highlight the importance of safety precautions. As indicated in the MSDS sheet, using the correct respirator mask and working in a well-ventilated area is advised due to the strong fumes emitted during application.Having installed the parts a month ago, I'm pleased to report that there are no signs of the coating failing. The durability and resilience it has demonstrated thus far give me confidence in the long-lasting quality of the paint job.This Matt Spray is a reliable choice for those looking to protect and enhance the appearance of a multitude of surfaces. Its easy application, even drying, and long-lasting results make it a standout product for custom paint projects. Just be sure to prioritize safety measures during application.

The can is a good size, and the paint goes on smoothly with excellent coverage. It dries quickly as promised, which makes it super convenient for touch-ups or small projects.I’ve used it on my car, and the finish looks great, shiny and professional. The spray nozzle is easy to control, so it’s not messy or wasteful. Recommend

Great stuff, prevents rust prevent scratches and leaves a really nice finish on metals or plastics. It is quite expensive but you paid for the quality.

Wow its amazing stuff. Put on upvc front door snd it covers so well and easy. Looks so professional and wood effect door darker and looks bbrand new. Had a crack which i nail varnished and covered and sealed great. Now bought another can and doing all windows and especially covering brown putty on windows to better seal and hopefully improve warmth inside. Will hopefully stop fading/cracks in future too. Highly recommended.

Good product. I've tried different brands spray paints so far, but this brand has been the best so far. Highly recommend. The spray is very smooth and even. If you are new to spary paints and confused choosing a good brand, this is the one to go for. This is the only brand that has a tamper seal on it as well.

Great for painting exhaust pipes

I've had a couple of cans of this and used it on re-painted hubcaps and a re-sprayed kids bike. It's good for the price, but not perfect.For the hubcaps I was refreshing them before selling the car and it did a good job - not amazing, some running and orange peel, but it looked great from a usual distance (i.e. stood up, not crouching down inspecting the tyres) and worked a treat for my needs. Would have been a 5 star review for that.For the bike I got a decent but old kids aluminium bike and had it professionally stripped and powder-coated. I then added vinyl decals and then lacquered with Hycote Clear. The results were mixed. Generally the finish was initially very good, limited (although some) orange peel and very limited running. There were a couple of chips thought from very minor impact, which then start the lacquer peeling. I also added a protective sticker (helicopter tape) and had to unpeel a bit to-restick which just lifted all the lacquer off that section, which a sticker really shouldn't! In both cases it had had well over the required 24hrs drying time (often more like 3-4 days, indoors). That meant a re-spray to the affected areas, and whilst they look ok now, I just don't trust that it wont chip/peel in future. It'll look nice for a while though, and thereafter I'll probably use 2k or get the paintshop to do it.TIPS FOR USE:- shake well before using for a good two minutes. Worth warming it too, in a bowl of hot water works well,- Do light(ish) coats, building up,- Leave a good amount of time between coats, especially if you've gone a bit heavy. It's touch dry in 10-15mins, but sometimes multiple coats in quick succession can disturb the previous layers and even the pain beneath (if rattle can painted),- orange peel can be corrected well in this lacquer with some fine wet and dry paper, compound, and patience (see videos online for removing orange peel),- if it starts to chip, stop and re-spray first. Don't chase the edges of the chip back (e.g. with your finger nail) as it'll keep going and going,- whilst you should never touch it when wet with a dry hand (or anything else), you can carefully flatten a drip with a very wet finger moving quickly. Not for the fainthearted though! Will need another coat after if you do this.- Shake

Great as per usual. Did the job of restoring my steel wheels on my campervan
