Rust-Oleum 302153 Clear Topcoat Universal Metallic Spray Paint Concrete, Wood, Metal (Hammered Clear - 312 Grams)

The product gives a matte finish rather than the advertised clear finish, I had used the product for headlight restoration thinking that it will give a clear finish, but the headlights were made to look frosty and had to re do the process again and use another clear spray from rustoleum itself. Poor rating is for the wrong product description

Make sure to use outside, or in a well ventilated space. I made the mistake of using inside, and boy oh boy, the smell was so strong, and lasted for days.

I am an avid military modeler and flat paint is essential when building armor such as tanks. I bought this product because it’s name suggests it’s finish can’t really be any more flat. Oh how they lie. At BEST it leaves a dull satinish finish which is anything BUT flat. The paint Inapplied before this was actually flatter than this. Save your money.

Be very careful with this clear. It is apparently a lacquer product and should not be used over enamels. Although there were no cautions on the can, we did not find it compatible with previously sprayed Rustoleum colors including 2 in 1 Primer gray, Camouflage Black and Camouflage Khaki. Even though the color coats had been down for many days and were thoroughly dry, as soon as this clear was applied, the previous finishes wrinkled and raised, ruining the jobs. The spray head also spattered and spit droplets even though we had shaken the can for 2 full minutes prior to our attempt. Emails to Rustoleum have gone unanswered. VERY disappointed!

We have used Rust-Oleum products for years.My most favorite use recently is to use it as the top-coat finish for my kindness pebbles.It makes them shine and gives them a strong, durable coating that will not break down in the outdoor elements. It is so fun to hide these shiny, little kindness pebbles and watch people find them.

I love how great the mist is as opposed to a direct stream. Goes on softly so no runs or streaks. Dries quickly, yes, it was a beautiful warm day, but goes on quickly and dries quickly. I put this on a metal yard sculpture.
