Clear Coating Engine Pieces
Just finished painting some engine trim pieces, FRC ect...
Now I need to clear coat them.
Can I use a Polyurethane type clear coat, or do I need to get automotive type Clear Coat?
Tks
Peace

I would use a product compatible with whatever you painted the covers with. If you use the wrong type, it could lift (bubble up) the existing paint.
If you used spray cans, look for a clear in cans of the same brand/type as the paint you used.
If you used a professional automotive type finish, then use the compatible/recommended clearcoat for the paint system you used.

Mixing paints or types is not a good thing. Stick with what you have used.
