clear coated my 41 Chevy rust rod

I think it really makes the rust pop. The dents pop a little too much he he.

I like it! [cl

Yep, I really like it, too! It makes all the different colours more vibrant and "contrasty." Yeah, I know, that's probably not a real word...

Gonna save it from going any further, too (deteriorating, that is).

do you have to do any prep work before clearcoat ? like to do mine but more flat no shine

 

[Sam_Fear]

I was wondering that too - how did you 'prep' the rust? What paint?

 

[RatTruck440]

I just applied wax and grease remover with a green scotch brite. The hard part was not leaving any lint when wiping the wax and grease remover off. I used a cheap hardened clearcoat from our local auto paint store. They of course told me it wasn't a good idea he he. it was less than $100 for the gallon of clear and the quart of hardener.

Looks great! For anyone thinking about this but with a flatter finish, a flattening agent can be added. I prefer flattening glossy paint over using flat paint. The glossy paints when flattened still have that "slick" feel to them.
