Klass Kote clear question
In the past, I used Hobby Poxy and K&B clear epoxy paint as an overcoat. In time they yellowed over white surface and looked awful.

No on the latex. Not sure about glow. Did you do a search for your answers? There are pages of forums on here for Klass Kote!!

Edit: Well that was the RCU search. A google search worked much better (including RCU results which the RCU search didn't find). Should have known better.

I'm going to consider the PPG, since I have heard several good reports in the past about it non-yellowing. I assume that flattening powder works with the PPG. ( am I right ?). I know the PPG clear coat works great for beautiful gloss, since I've painted a couple Ford Mustangs with it, years ago. It's just that I use Klass Kote for models, and wonder if the clear would screw things up. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool old epoxy paint guy, when it comes to model airplanes with glow engines. So if anyone has clear coated their models with the Klass Kote I would sure like to know how it turned out---yellowing wise. Thx. much. 'buff

I think that all epoxies will yellow over time, Auto paints don't seem to have that problem.
I would not spray them over latex, though. I think that may end in disaster.

Balsabuff,
I have sprayed KK clear gloss on my last two pattern birds. Yes, it does slightly yellow. It looks worse in my basement under the florescent lighting than in direct sunlight. I have several flights on the XLT w/o any problems. The Illusion will fly this spring.

Automotive 2 part/catalyzed clears are fuel proof. I race nitro boats with 65% nitro fuels, no problems with ppg, omni or any others. You can also get it in a spray can, check out y2k clear.
