Step 1: Clean Up

Thoroughly clean the object that is to be coated. All dirt, oil, debris, previous coatings or waxes, etc. should be completely removed.

Step 2: Let Dry

Allow the object to completely dry. There should be no signs of moisture before application at all. This is important for a strong bond and even finish.

Step 3: Apply Protecticoat

Apply Protecticoat in thin coats until the desired, even finish is achieved. Heavily oxidized surfaces will require more coats. Allow time to dry in between coats.

Step 4: Curing

Allow coated object to cure at least overnight but preferably for 24 hours after application with no contact from moisture (rain, dew, sprinkler system, etc.). No rubbing or buffing is necessary.

*Ensure the outside temperature at the time of curing is 50 degrees or warmer.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have coated my item and white spots appeared the next day. What happened, and what should I do?

The most likely culprit is that the coating came into contact with moisture before it had time to cure. Should this happen, simply make sure that the surface is dry and reapply Protecticoat. The spots will begin to disappear as you apply. Let cure with no moisture contact.

During application, the coating begins to run or sag. What should I do?

Protecticoat is being applied too heavily. Back away from the surface a few inches and apply in lighter coats.

Which surfaces are acceptable/not acceptable for Protecticoat?

Acceptable: Plastics, Fiberglass, Metal, Single stage paint (does not have clear coat).
Unacceptable: Plexiglass, fiberglass reinforced polymer (filon), paint that has a clear coat applied on top (automobiles).

What is Protecticoat, is it safe?

We use an environmentally safe, non-toxic formula which is an acrylate polymer solution. Protecticoat applies evenly and rejuvenates the appearance of many different surfaces with a faded and/or oxidized exterior, restoring depth to color-infused products while adding a sheen to oxidized surfaces.

What color is Protecticoat?

Protecticoat is a clear solution, and does not change the color of an object but restores and protects it once applied correctly.

How many coats are required?

This will depend on the level of oxidation and damage that the surface has experienced so far. Protecticoat should  be applied in several light coats until the desired appearance is realized. Spraying in heavy coats will cause the product to run.
