DiamondFinish Clear can be applied over fully cured lacquer or enamel paints — both solvent-based and water-based formulas are compatible, as long as the underlying paint is completely and fully cured before application.
⚠️ Full Cure is Required Applying DiamondFinish Clear over paint that is not fully cured can cause adhesion failure, lifting, or wrinkling. When in doubt, allow additional cure time before proceeding. |
