Top Coater or Maxx

I recently ordered Top Coater by mistake instead of KBS Maxx. KBS Top Coater is a very durable paint but I found it somewhat more difficult for an amateur to apply than KBS MAXX. I meant to use Maxx as I had before. For my money the KBS Maxx gloss is an extremely easy to apply, high gloss finish. First class.

Great over Rust Paint

I brushed this over my house door that I coated with your rust paint because my door always rusts from the bottom of the door up. I did grey rust paint and forest green for this paint. It brushed out beautifully and looks great.

Great UV Resistant Top Coat

Used Top Coater to paint a semi truck roof that had clear coat failure due to many years of UV light damage. The color red was close enough to the original but eliminated the excessive prep work of cleaning, sanding, masking (or paying) for a spray job. It brushed on smooth, offers great coverage and is enduring the UV rays just fine. A good inexpensive alternative to a booth paint job for a working semi truck that is constantly out in the elements. Highly recommended!

Q: I would like a brush on top coat. Does this product brush out well?

Asked by: Jeff - 3/7/2019

A: KBS Top Coater was designed to be brushed on. When you brush KBS Top Coater on, the brush marks disappear and look like powder coating.
TIP: When brushing KBS Top Coater, apply thin, covering coats and do not overwork the brush as this can cause KBS Top Coater to cure too quickly possibly leaving visible brush marks. It is always best to brush an area and move on immediately versus brushing an area over and over again. If you brush over an area over and over again, you force the solvents out and run the risk of the brush marks not flowing out as well they are designed to flow out.

Q: Do I need to thin KBS Top Coater if I want to spray with an HVLP?

Asked by: Franklin - 6/28/2019

A: Yes, you can spray KBS Top Coater with an HVLP. Spray pressure (at the gun) of at least 30psi and 1.8mm Spray Tip. Thin 10-20% as required. Use only KBS #1 Thinner. Apply thin coats rather than heavy coats. If paint runs or sags, paint is being applied too heavily or spray gun is too close to surface. Apply at least one or two thin covering coats. Recoating can be done after 8 hours and before 7 days.

Asked by: Maurice - 10/13/2019

A: Yes, KBS Top Coater in Iron Oxide Red (Matte) is a very similar color to RustSeal Oxide Red. KBS Top Coater is UV stable and is designed to be used as an exterior finish coat.
