KBS Coatings DiamondFinish High Gloss Clear Aerosol is a professional-grade, water-clear protective topcoat that sprays directly to metal or over existing finishes to deliver long-lasting gloss, UV stability, and chemical resistance.

This 16-ounce aerosol from KBS Coatings offers an easy-to-use high-gloss clear coat engineered for workshops, restorations, and do-it-yourself projects. Formulated with a premium acrylic resin system, DiamondFinish sprays smoothly, cures hard yet remains flexible, and resists yellowing and peeling. Each canister covers approximately 35 square feet when applied per instructions, making it economical for small- to medium-sized jobs on steel, aluminum, and painted surfaces.

How does DiamondFinish perform when sprayed directly on metal?

DiamondFinish is formulated to adhere to ferrous metals and aluminum without requiring complex priming steps. With minimal surface preparation—cleaning and de-rusting as needed—it bonds well and creates a durable, glossy film that helps protect metal from environmental wear.

  • Adheres directly to steel and aluminum with minimal prep
  • Produces a water-clear, high-gloss finish for metal parts
  • Resists cracking and peeling under normal use

Can I spray DiamondFinish over existing paint or coatings?

Yes—this clear is designed to go over previously painted or coated surfaces to boost shine and protection. Light scuffing or degreasing is usually sufficient; avoid spraying over poorly bonded or flaking paints to ensure optimal adhesion and longevity.

  • Compatible with most cured paint systems when surface is sound
  • Improves gloss and adds a protective clear layer
  • Requires only light prep on well-adhered finishes

What makes DiamondFinish resistant to yellowing, UV damage, and chemicals?

DiamondFinish uses a stable acrylic formula and UV-resistant components to help maintain clarity and gloss over time. The cured coating forms a tough, flexible film that withstands environmental exposure and common automotive and workshop chemicals without degrading quickly.

  • 100% UV stable to preserve water-clear appearance
  • Chemical-resistant surface for workshop durability
  • Flexible hard film that resists cracking and yellowing

How much area will one 16-ounce can cover and what application tips improve results?

One 16-ounce aerosol covers roughly 35 square feet under typical spray conditions; coverage varies with film thickness and technique. Apply multiple thin coats instead of one heavy coat, keep the can 8–12 inches from the surface, and allow recommended flash times between passes for a smooth, even finish.

  • Approximate coverage: 35 sq ft per 16-oz can under normal spray conditions
  • Best results from several light coats with proper flash time
  • Maintain 8–12 inch spray distance and shake can thoroughly before use

Who is this for? KBS Coatings DiamondFinish High Gloss Clear Aerosol is ideal for mechanics, metal fabricators, restoration enthusiasts, and hobbyists who need a reliable, easy-to-spray clear coat for metal parts, automotive trim, small projects, and touch-ups. If you want a water-clear finish that stays glossy without yellowing and offers chemical and UV resistance in a convenient aerosol can, this product delivers professional-grade protection without requiring a spray gun or complex setup.

FAQ

Q: Is surface primer required before using DiamondFinish on steel?

A: Not always; clean, de-rusted steel may accept DiamondFinish directly, but priming is recommended for porous or heavily corroded surfaces.

Q: How long before DiamondFinish is fully cured?

A: Touch-dry in under an hour; full chemical resistance and hardness develop over several days depending on temperature and coat thickness.
