Does anyone have good experience with a clear coat used to touch up some acrylic paint touch up? I've used brush on varathane but it smears over certain black
touch up. Anyone have a good experience with another brush on touch up? This is just for acrylic touch up at inserts, not the entire playfield.
I never received a response to this question so I experimented. I found that semi-gloss Triple Thick Water Based Varathane Polyeurethane works flawlessly over acrylic paints. It self levels when brushed on and one coat application acts as three. Hope that helps someone.
Quoted from gjm7777:This stuff is great for chipped inserts, spot clears etc.
Where do you get this product?
Quoted from brenna98:Yup, water based poly works. If you're doing a small wear spot like kickout wear or ball drop, this works. I also recommend putting a piece of mylar in that spot, because it just going to keep getting hit.[quoted image]
I used this same Minwax recently on a touch up for a chip on the playfield and it worked very well.
Quoted from RWH:I've used the Minwax on several projects and I would think it's to soft for a PF but, if it works for you than go with it!
It hardens up...it just takes months, especially if you use it in a big blob. Thin layers of it dry faster I've learned...I use it to fill inserts in my restos.

Comes in various sizes. Word of caution, only use what you need in a separate jar and after transferring it make sure to put saran wrap in the original can before sealing the lid. If you dont, the lid can fuse shut.
