High Gloss Ceramic Clear Coat
Ceramic clear coat is a tough, high-gloss protective topcoat with excellent hardness, chemical resistance, wear performance and UV stability. It’s rated to 260°C, making it ideal for polished engine casings, wheels and fork sliders, and we apply it in-house at our workshop in Heybridge, Essex.
What can ceramic clear coat be applied to?
MC-160 High Gloss Ceramic Clear can be used as a topcoat over:
- all metals, including polished metals
- paints and hydrographics
- composites and fibreglass
- plastics
- PVD (vacuum deposition) finishes
Ceramic clear coat vs standard lacquer
Ceramic clear coat is much tougher than a standard wet lacquer, with high resistance to wheel cleaning products and brake dust. That makes it well suited to polished engine casings and wheel rims.
