Hi all,
I'm restoring a '74 beetle and would like to take a break and enjoy the car for awhile.
Rather than slapping on a cheap paint job I would like to apply a clear coat over the old paint as a temporary preservative.
It's mostly original paint with some primer showing through, I'm not a big fan of the patina look but I would like to use a flat clear coat so it isn't so noticeable.
Which clear coat to use over older paint? (1974 aged paint)

Since it's only going to be temporary and I'll assume is all coming off when you finish the resto then sounds like the perfect job for acrylic lacquer. Fast, cheap and easy. Just add some flatting base and use a fairly fast thinner.
Won't do anything for the rust, though. Chris

6-8 months? I wouldn't bother. If you're doing a resto then it will all come off anyway. Give it a polish and leave it at that for the moment.
