Paint Couture Extreme Guard Topcoats comes in four amazing sheens of Flat, Satin, Semi-Gloss and Gloss.  When extreme protection matters, use our renowned Extreme Guard Topcoats to protect your cabinetry, furniture, and craft projects.  Extreme Guard Topcoats can be used on top of Paint Couture paints, metallics, textures, and glazes.  Extreme Guard Topcoats may be used over many products, and we recommend you do a test sample prior to starting your actual work.  Extreme Guard Topcoats are proudly made in the USA.

Application: Do not shake but stir thoroughly before use.  If you accidentally shake, let container sit for one hour prior to use to avoid bubbles on your project.  Apply in even thin layers.  Be sure Paint Couture Paint has fully dried at least four hours and glazed pieces 24 hours before applying topcoat.  Apply Paint Couture Extreme Guard Topcoat with a good quality synthetic brush, foam brush, or roller, or use a sprayer.  It may be lightly sanded 45 minutes after the first coat.  If adding a second coat of Extreme Guard Topcoat, allow the first coat to dry for two hours.  Once dry, lightly sand with 400 grit sandpaper, wipe away any dust residue, then apply the second coat.  Paint Couture Topcoat products are recommended for a more durable finish.  Not for use on decks or floor surfaces.

Clean up: Use warm soapy water.
