Product Specification

Modern Masters® MasterClear® Protective Clear Topcoats: are interior/exterior topcoats, available in a Satin or SemiGloss sheen. MasterClear Protective Topcoats are waterbased, one part, self-crosslinking, aliphatic polyurethane/acrylic non-yellowing. MasterClear is formulated with both UV absorbers and UV inhibitors, mar and slip aids, to create the best possible protection for Metallic Paint Collection paints without affecting the metallic
shimmer. The inherent high abrasion resistance of MasterClear also extends the service life of Metallic Paints on high traffic interior surfaces and exceeds 3,000 scrub cycles.

NOTE: Other clear topcoats may dull and otherwise ruin the shimmering appearance of Metallic Paint Collection paints.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Allow Metallic Paint Collection colors to dry for 24-48 hours before applying MasterClear. Painted surface should be clean, dry and fully cured prior to application. For surfaces not painted with Modern Masters Metallic Paint Collections colors, apply on a small test area to ensure the color and desired effect is achieved.

APPLICATION

Modern Masters Metallic Paint Collection MasterClear can be brushed, rolled, or spray applied Stir thoroughly before use, do not shake. For best results and maximum protection, it is recommended to apply two or more coats for interior use and three or more coats for exterior use.

BRUSHING: Use a high-quality synthetic bristle brush.

ROLLING: Use a high-quality short nap varnish roller.

SPRAYING: To spray MasterClear, thin with up to 10%, 12 fluid ounces of water to one gallon of MasterClear Topcoat. Use an HVLP gun, conventional cup gun or airless spray system.

TAPING: Use high quality, low-tack tape when taping over surfaces that have been previously painted with Metallic Paint. When painting over taped-off areas be aware that Metallic Paints exhibit poor early adhesion properties and
are elastomeric (they stretch) during curing. Because of these two factors consider cutting along the tape edge with a razor blade to avoid delaminating the fresh paint from the substrate.
