Re: Clear over polished grille
I am the original poster to this thread
For an update the permaclear worked very well. It still looked good after a year. I really wanted more of a bright finished so ended up buying a new tri plus grille 2 years ago On another note the tri plus grille for great and looks fantastic. Of course it’s thinner material than the original. Mark

Re: Clear over polished grille
Might want to check out Eastwoods' 2K clear in a spray can. I have used their 2K and it sprays better than any spray can I have used. It is catalyzed by taking a button on the top of the cap and placing it on the bottom of the can to puncture the catalyst. I used on can of red 2k engine paint to do a house door in red for my wife. Word of warning - when you start getting low in the can it doesn't like to shoot pointing down.
FROM EASTWOOD: Eastwood 2K High-Gloss Clear Aerosol allows you to paint with the durability and precision of a two-component coating without the paint gun! Formulated with Eastwood proprietary technology to provide a long-lasting and durable finish, while keeping its beautiful finish for years. •2-Component Catalyzed Technology •Two Chamber Design Aerosol •Most Durable Aerosol Epoxy Primer Available •Sprays Like a Paint Gun •Approximate Coverage 5.4-8.1 SQ FT •Max Temperature: Paint will handle up to 250-300 degrees without delamination, but color shift may occur, so it should not be used in a high heat setting The innovative nozzle and valve technology, combined with its two internal chambers, ensure the right ratio is mixed every time. Sprays like a gun with a broader spray pattern than conventional aerosols and no mess to clean up. You'll achieve professional results from an easy-to-spray aerosol. |

Re: Clear over polished grille
I would like to thank RockyRiverMark for his thread and continuing contributions to it. This sounds like just the ticket for the grille trim in my Burban.

As per our conversation last week... got the Protectaclear from Amazon this morning: prepped and have the first coat on, waiting my hour to put the 2nd coat on. So far, gave it more sheen and its leveling out to a smooth surface. When I get this original grille installed to replace my other beat up one - I’ll post a pic. Thanks for your post. |

I purchased an outer grille shell for my 72 a couple of years ago from a young man that was taking apart his C10 and restoring it to have GMC badging/grille. I bought it and had my buddy knock out the 2 dings on it. Easy off, sanding (it had some decent scratches) and polished it. I put this Protectaclear on it and it isn't bad... from 2' away (which is good). I can see some flaws /runs from the peaks of the reverse V on the 71/72 grille shell. They ran down to the valley and kind of clumped up. I used a foam brush and tried to keep it as light of a coat as I could... it was hard for me. Installed it and here's the result from 10' away. It's not bad at all! Good thing is, it's easy to take off with Xylene if I want to redo it. Overall --- pleased. Thanks Rockyrivermark!!!!! -Garrett
