Krylon Crystal Clear
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 10:57 PM
is this stuff good for a glossy clearcoat on a car?

I want to use it through my airbrush-reason is cuz I have a spraycan of it but its really thick or old or something and it sprays and sputters really badly.Is this stuff waterbased?

I was under the impression that most Krylon products were either enamel, lacquer, or epoxy-based paints. I would experiment with it before putting on your pride and joy.

By the way, welcome to the forum family, spork. Hope you enjoy your time here!

I thought it might be water base because it said acrylic on the can somewhere,that can mean acylic laquer or anything thouhgh..i am gonna have to test it anyways.

Hey Im glad I found this site,I should be a pro airbrusher by the time I read through all the pages of posts on this forum.....

The Krylon is a strange brew if you believe the spray can description. It is an acrylic coating in a very fast drying carrier. The smell of the stuff is awful. It has a laquer smell and I wouldn't consider spraying it in a house because the smell will last all day. Another reason I think the Krylon uses a laquer carrier is because of the drying time. From spray to use time, if I remember the can, is only 12 minutes, or less! That is fast drying!

The stuff works great but it is strange formula.

This paint contains solvents consistent with lacquer-based paints: Toluene, ethyl benzene, VM & P naphtha, xylene, and acetone (among others). It is not water soluble.
Additional information from some museum curators found this product yellows in the presence of light.

Just a thought, but you might want to go with a different material.
