What clear coat doesn't yellow?
Sam Sorem
Has anyone out there found a clear coat such as a polyurethane
which does not yellow over white paint? I've tried hardware store
polyurethane and perfect clear. Both noticeably yellow when sprayed
over white.
Thanks in advance.

You must have better luck than I do, I used that product on my Goldberg
Chipmunk (RIP) and it looked good until the first day I took it out. When I
brought it home I thought it didn't look right. The top turned
yellow/orange/green and the bottom was still red white & blue. I used a
couple of very thin coats and it was not very good IMHO. I can send you
pieces of the covering for a sample! The best way to describe it is it
looked like the dogs had a leak on after it was out in the sun.

yellow at all from the body shop he works at. It is a 2 part system (3
parts if you want a satin or flat finish). It really goes on nice, and
dries quickly. Since he gives it to me in unmarked cans, I don't know the
brand name, but I do know you need to us a good quality respirator around
the stuff. Check with a body shop.....they may give you some.

Been there, done that.
I've found that an automotive clearcote (such as the PPG paints - I think it's
called DAU82) is far superior to any of the model paint. It also dries much
faster (so less wories about things landing on the paint while it's still wet)
and is impervious to both glo-fuel and gas.
You should, of course, do a test first to ensure paint compatability before
spraying the clear over your lovely new paint job. If you don't want to shell
out the money for the paint first (it aint cheap), take a test-piece to your
local auto-body repair shop and ask them to shoot some clear on it the next
time they mix some.

at automotive paint stores. Be advised that Deltron is expensive and
that you need a good quality respirator to shoot it.

for us RC folks to match all the different coverings. Another pattern
flier's secret. I suppose they would have the PPG clear coat also. I was
not able to come up with a web page, tho'.
