I can never get tired of looking at that nose cone!
Spray-max 2K glamour gloss
I've put it over most all brands of both enamel and lacquer with zero compatibility issues
Best clear in a can hands down
I just put a can of this on a rocket that I'm building based on the recommendations from this thread. I've already purchased more cans, this is hands down the best clear coat that I've used. It went on easy, has that nice thick look like the rocket is covered in glass, and feels really durable.

Cool! I got couple of cans but have not used them yet. You beat me to it! I've done a little more investigation into this product which is clearly intend for professional use and results. Your rocket looks wet, was it or had it dried?
Nice, thanks for testing this for me! :wink:
Just remember, once you start you're on a time limit since it has a hardener in it. The various Youtube videos with it that I watched said you'd have between 24 hours and a week to use it. The can itself says you have 48 hours. I used the entire can in one session though.
So how toxic is the spraymax 2k stuff really? I'm a bit frustrsted with future floor polish, and I have a 3m half-face mask with good (and recently opened) organic filter cartridges, but the Amazon reviews talk about it's toxicity quite a bit.... I live in the city and spray paint outside in a small backyard that my daughter plays in. I use plastic sheeting, but the reality is that wind will carry any aerosol at least some of the time onto unprotected surfaces or plants. I want to get a great finish but not at the cost of giving my kids cancer....
Anyone have any concrete thoughts or sources that say more than "be careful this stuff will kill you"? As I'm writing this I'll be honest I'm leaning pretty strongly towards steering clear of it.
Some bits from the warning label on the can.
"contains isocyanites. Protective mask must be work while spraying"
"vapors may affect the brain or nervous system"
"may be harmful if absorbed through the skin"
"in case of ingestion, consult a mortician" (kidding on that one)
When I used it, I used a good quality 3M mask that cost less than $20 and is rated for something like 40 hours of use. I also had my kids stay inside until I was sure any vapors had dissipated.
