I'm trying to find a compatible gloss clear coat that I can lay over the GCI 383 Green. I've spent days going through threads here trying to find something definitive but am not having any luck. There's a lot of discussion on here but I'm not finding anything that closes the loop. It's probably there somewhere but it's evading me. I sent notes to GCI and RAPCO and no luck there either.
I've painted several vehicles for people using GCI paints and was going to do another last year for a friend so bought the paint and then ended up not doing the job (truck went sideways on a climb and is now a parts truck) so now have a gallon of 383 Green to use. I have an enclosed utility trailer that needs paint and figured it'd look nice with that shade of green, especially when towing it behind my CUCV. I'd like it to be gloss so figured I'd shoot it with the 383 Green and then clear coat it but haven't been able to find a clear coat that I can be sure will be compatible with the GCI Alkyd Enamel. I always use clear coat systems from the same manufacturer so this is something new for me.
Does anyone know which clear coats are compatible?
