Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Where to buy clear coat paint for center console?

I've been looking ALL over from orchard supply, home depot, paint shops, ace hardware, for rust-oleum crystal clear enamel clear coat paint. The closest I got to finding one was as home depot but they were sold out

I even curbed my back right rim because of a stupid low ass curb. I guess I was pissed off and didn't see it when I entered a parking lot

I bought Rust-Oleum Silver metallic paint to paint my dash but I need a clear coat... Does anyone know of any other paint I can use as a clear coat?

I'm painting my center console and gauge trim tomorrow. Thanks.

did you try any autoparts store like AutoZone or Pepboys?
they carry a brand called Dupli-Color. they have a lot to choose from especially the Clear Coat you are looking for.

good luck

walmart sells dupli-color as well. try the auto section.

I couldn't find any either. At least not any of somewhat decent quality.

Man you must be blind! I used duplicolor and i am proud of the finish, the clear coat too.

um, stop going to home furnishing stores. Is your car your home? Go to auto parts stores like autozone, pepboys, even wal-mart sells paint for cars. Duplicolor is prolly the best.

Hmm cool, thanks guys. I'll check out autozone and pepboys tomorrow.

00celica00gt has a good point. why go to a home furnishing store for things you want done to your car.

you could get everything that you need at an auto store.

I went to autozone and pepboys yesterday and I couldn't find a dupicolor clear coat. They only had duplicolor clear coat for wheels and the engine

So I went to pepboys and the best thing I found was "plasti-kote" Import color clear coat acrylic laquer paint.

I was wondering if this would work on the coat of paint I just put on my console. I used rust-oleum silver metalic paint, and I think it's enamyl. Can I use acrylic clear coat laquer over dried enamyl paint?

that should be no problem. thats what i used. remember to wet sand after each clear coat. let dry. then apply another coat. repeat this prrocess at least 5 or 6 times for best finish

Hmm allright, how do you wet sand?
