Doneal 12 Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 Did a search to see if this has been discussed and couldn't find one. Wasn't even sure what topic to post under. One of the problems I have had is sun damage, both in paint fade and the Plastic getting Brittle and Cracking. Another member said he used clear uv spray and I was wandering if anyone else had experience with this? I did find some info on the net about it, but was curious about first hand experience. So please elaborate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott Rob 91 Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 I used UV spray paint for about 10years. It’s work well for me. Its hard to tell if it work’s because it clear. They only way I can tell is I missed spraying UV paint on a few molds about 8 years ago and I could tell a difference after a few years of use. Tips that have worked for me. If I repainted a blow mold I spray it down about week after with UV spray paint. Never mix different brands of spray paint they will run together. Also only put 1-2 coats on a blow mold of UV spray paint any more and I have found it does not look as good. To me the gloss works great and brings back some life to a dull paint job. Hope this helps. I would recommend getting one can and trying it on back side of blow mold to make sure it will work for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex-grinch 1 Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 When I get anything new that's plastic or rubber, the FIRST thing I do is coat it with Armor All. That's what AA is for, UV protection on cars and it works. Then a wipe down with an AA rag after the season, and a new spray on coat every other year or so and they last forever. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slankard 100 Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 Thank you guys! I never thought about it before, but they do get brittle. And since I’ve got most of them out in my yard right now, this is a great time to spray them all. I love this place! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
