Way Off Topic...auto Paint? - mybankey - 02-21-2012

Hi all,
I have painted my van with a satin black paint. My question is, what can i use to protect the paint without changing the look of the satin...dont want it to look glossy.
Any help,
Tom Smile
P.S.
Here is a pick of how i want it to stay looking. Its just the front panel.

If you used Auto Spray Paint on your car i would just get a Auto Satin Clear Coat in a can. If you used a spray gun then let me know.

I have done 2 ways. Rolled on rustoleum,with mineral spirits in it, and sprayed rustoleum on edges and the side u see in the pic. Its an old van, i paid only 900.00 bucks for, so thats why i didnt get a pro paint job, if u were wondering, Smile

Oh ok nice. Then a Satin clear coat should work, if you have a autozone just look for a non gloss clear coat.

I thought of that, but i wish they had it in a can that could be rolled on instead of spray can, cause of wind. It wont fit in my garage, its to tall.
Thanks man,
