Protective Clear
Topcoats: Modern Masters’ MasterClear interior/
exterior topcoat, available in a Satin (ME664) or
Semi-Gloss (ME662) sheen, is a water-based, one
part, self-crosslinking, aliphatic polyurethane/acrylic
non-yellowing topcoat. MasterClear is formulated with
both UV absorbers and UV inhibitors mar and slip aids,
to create the best possible protection for Metallic Paint
Collection paints without affecting the metallic shimmer.
The inherent high abrasion resistance of MasterClear
also extends the service life of Metallic Paints on high-
traffic interior surfaces and exceeds 3,000 scrub cycles.
Note: Other clear topcoats may dull and otherwise ruin
the shimmering appearance of Metallic Paint Collection
paints.
Sheen Ranges
60° Gloss- Satin (20-30)
60° Gloss- Semi-Gloss (50-65)
Surface Preparation – Allow Metallic Paint Collection
colors to dry for 24-48 hours before applying
MasterClear. Painted surface should be clean, dry and
fully cured prior to application. For surfaces not painted
with Modern Masters Metallic Paint Collections colors,
apply on a small test area to ensure the color and
desired effect is achieved
Application – Modern Masters Metallic Paint Collection
MasterClear can be brushed, rolled, or spray applied
Stir thoroughly before use, do not shake. For best
results and maximum protection, it is recommended to
apply two or more coats for interior use and three or
more coats for exterior use. Do not apply in
temperatures below 55°F/13°C or above 95°F/35°C.
Brushing: Use a high-quality synthetic bristle brush.
Rolling: Use a high-quality short nap varnish roller
Spraying: To spray MasterClear, thin with up to 10%,
12 fluid ounces/360 milliliters of water to one gallon/3.78
liters of MasterClear Topcoat. Use an HVLP gun,
conventional cup gun or airless spray system.
Taping – Use high quality, low-tack tape when taping
over surfaces that have been previously painted with
Metallic Paint. When painting over taped-off areas be
aware that Metallic Paints exhibit poor early adhesion
properties and are elastomeric (They stretch) during
curing. Because of these two factors consider cutting
along the tape edge with a razor blade to avoid
delaminating the fresh paint from the substrate.
Dry Times –Dry-to-touch time is approximately 1/2
hour. Recoat time is approximately 2 hours. (Drying
times were recorded at 70°F and 50%RH): Note: Lower
temperature and/or higher humidity will lengthen the dry
and cure times.
Coverage – One gallon/3.78 liters will cover
approximately 300 to 400 square feet/27 to 37 square
meters. Approximately 1.5 mils dry film thickness per
coat.
Clean Up – Clean brushes, rollers, tool, and equipment
with soap and warm water immediately after use. Do
not reuse containers and properly dispose of empty
containers.
Material VOC – Contains less than 100 g/L.
