Default RE: Need Advice on Ultracoat Paint

Hi, name's Ken (Starfighter). Be very careful here. The ONLY compatible overcoat(s) are Clear Ultracote, OR Clear Polyurethane.
CAUTION: If you overcoat with the Polyurethane, then you CANNOT recoat with any other type of paint. You can only overcoat with polyurethane. If you use the Ultracote clear, no problem with successive applications of color paint. Do not apply Lustercote over Ultracote paint.
Yes, clear polyurethane will work very well, and is fuelproof. A good source for a crystal clear polyurethane is an Automotive polyurethane, even the ones you can buy at the auto parts store in a spray can.
Good luck, Ken (Starfighter).
