[Shop-talk] pourable UV resistant clear finish?

[Darrell Walker]

Hi Randy,

That’s an interesting idea.  I was thinking more along the lines of having them embedded in something, since that’s how the emblems in center caps tend to look.  But your idea is worth consideration.

Thanks!

I have some Triumph badges I want to use, but they are intended for the steering wheel of a TR7, so I don’t think they are designed to hold up to exterior use.  I was thinking of sticking them in the center caps, the pouring a layer of some kind of clear to seal and protect them.  But the question is what to use?  I bought some UV cure polyester, but it had a slight blue tint (which might be OK), but it also popped out of the plastic cup I was using as a test part way though the cure.  There are clear epoxy coatings, though I don’t know how clear they will be, and how well they will hold up to UV (though the car isn’t stored outside).  Any other ideas?
