SEM Satin Clear Color Coat 12 oz — Satin Finish Protective Clear for Vinyl & Plastic Trim, Reduces Glare

SEM 13013 Satin Clear Color Coat is a 12 oz. satin-gloss protective clear formulated to adjust sheen and add a durable top layer to refinished vinyl and plastic surfaces.

When restoring interior trim, instrument panels, door panels or other vinyl and plastic parts, finish consistency and surface protection matter. SEM's Color Coat clears are made to fine-tune gloss level while adding an even, resilient overcoat that preserves color and feel. The 12 oz. size is convenient for spot repairs and small projects where controlled coverage is important.

How does SEM 13013 Satin Clear color coat affect surface gloss and appearance?

This satin clear is formulated to reduce high-gloss reflections while keeping color depth and clarity intact. It delivers a soft sheen that looks factory-correct on many interior components without appearing flat or chalky.

• Produces a uniform satin finish for a natural look
• Maintains pigment vibrancy under the clear layer
• Minimizes light glare on dashboards and trim
• Applies smoothly to avoid brush or roll marks when used as directed

What protection and durability does this clear coat provide?

As a protective topcoat, SEM 13013 helps shield refinished vinyl and plastic from daily wear and light abrasion. It resists scuffs and helps preserve the underlying color and texture for longer when compared to untreated surfaces.

• Adds an abrasion-resistant barrier over touch points
• Helps resist staining from common interior contaminants
• Improves longevity of repairs and cosmetic refinishes
• Designed for compatibility with SEM Color Coat base layers

How should I apply SEM 13013 Satin Clear for best results?

For consistent results, apply to a clean, dry surface that has been prepared according to SEM's instructions; thin, even coats work best. Allow proper flash and cure times between coats to avoid runs and to achieve the intended satin level.

• Use light, overlapping passes for even coverage
• Apply multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat
• Follow recommended drying/cure times for handling and full durability
• Compatible with spray application tools for small-area touch-ups

Will SEM 13013 work on all vinyl and plastic types inside a vehicle?

SEM 13013 is formulated for common automotive interior vinyl and many plastics used in trim pieces, but surface preparation and compatibility checks are important. Test in an inconspicuous area first to confirm adhesion and finish appearance.

• Ideal for dashboards, door panels, consoles, and trim
• Perform a small adhesion test before full application
• Not intended for structural plastic repair; cosmetic refinishing only
• Works best over SEM Color Coat or similar compatible bases
