GSI Creos Mr. Super Clear

Professional Protective Clear Coat System

The GSI Creos Mr. Super Clear collection represents the premium tier of protective clear coat technology for scale modeling, figure painting, and hobby finishing applications. Manufactured by Gunze Sangyo in convenient 170ml aerosol cans, these professional-grade clear coatings deliver exceptional clarity, superior protection, and brilliant finish control through advanced resin formulations and precision spray valve engineering. The Super Clear designation signifies enhanced performance characteristics including faster drying times, improved flow and leveling properties, superior adhesion to diverse substrates, and exceptional durability compared to standard clear coat formulations. Whether protecting painted finishes, sealing decals, or creating final presentation surfaces, Mr. Super Clear provides the professional results demanded by exhibition modelers and competitive builders.

Complete Finish Range

The collection encompasses three essential finish levels covering the complete spectrum of surface sheen requirements. B513 Mr. Super Clear Gloss delivers brilliant high-gloss finishes with exceptional clarity and depth, ideal for automotive subjects, aircraft canopies, glossy armor schemes, and any application requiring maximum surface reflectivity. The gloss formulation creates perfectly smooth, glass-like surfaces that enhance color depth and provide optimal conditions for subsequent decal application. B514 Mr. Super Clear Flat produces authentic matte finishes eliminating surface sheen for realistic military vehicles, weathered aircraft, figures, and subjects requiring non-reflective surfaces. The flat formulation incorporates precisely calibrated matting agents that eliminate gloss without creating surface texture or cloudiness.

Semi-Gloss Versatility

B516 Mr. Super Clear Semi-Gloss bridges the gap between gloss and flat finishes, delivering the subtle satin sheen characteristic of eggshell and semi-gloss military finishes, modern aircraft coatings, and automotive clear coats. The semi-gloss formulation replicates the authentic appearance of factory-applied protective coatings on military equipment, providing realistic surface characteristics without excessive shine or complete matte appearance. This versatile finish works exceptionally well for subjects where neither full gloss nor complete flat accurately represents the prototype finish, including modern armored vehicles, naval vessels, and contemporary aircraft with low-observable coatings.

Advanced UV Protection Technology

The UV Cut series represents advanced clear coat technology incorporating ultraviolet radiation absorbers that protect underlying paint finishes from photodegradation, color fading, and yellowing caused by prolonged sunlight exposure. B522 Mr. Super Clear UV Cut Gloss combines brilliant gloss finish with UV protection for display models exposed to natural or artificial lighting containing ultraviolet radiation. B523 Mr. Super Clear UV Cut Flat provides matte finish protection with identical UV blocking characteristics. The UV absorbers function by converting harmful ultraviolet radiation into harmless heat energy, preventing the photochemical reactions that cause paint degradation, color shift, and clear coat yellowing over time.

Professional Application Characteristics

Mr. Super Clear aerosol formulations are engineered for optimal spray characteristics including fine atomization, controlled fan pattern, and consistent delivery pressure throughout can life. The precision spray valves enable controlled application from light dusting coats for decal sealing to full wet coats for final finish protection. The fast-drying formulation allows multiple coat application within short timeframes, enabling efficient workflow without extended cure periods between coats. The clear coats exhibit excellent flow and self-leveling properties that minimize orange peel texture and spray artifacts, producing smooth, professional surfaces without brush marks or application irregularities.

Multi-Stage Finishing Integration

Mr. Super Clear integrates seamlessly into multi-stage finishing workflows. The gloss formulation serves as the ideal preparatory surface for decal application, providing the smooth, glossy substrate necessary for proper decal adhesion and conformability. After decal placement and setting, subsequent flat or semi-gloss coats unify surface sheen and protect decals from handling damage and environmental degradation. The clear coats are compatible with GSI Creos Spray Paints, GSI Creos Mr. Color Paints, and GSI Creos Mr. Weathering products for comprehensive finishing systems.

Substrate Compatibility and Adhesion

The Super Clear formulations demonstrate excellent adhesion to diverse substrates including acrylic paints, lacquer paints, enamel paints, bare plastic, resin, metal, and previously applied clear coats. The clear coats function effectively over GSI Creos Mr. Metallic Color GX and GSI Creos Mr. Metal Color finishes, providing protection without diminishing metallic brilliance. The formulations are compatible with GSI Creos Mr. Topcoat bottle formulations, allowing seamless integration between aerosol and airbrush-applied clear coats within the same project.

Application Techniques and Best Practices

Optimal results require proper application technique including adequate surface preparation, appropriate environmental conditions, and correct spray distance and technique. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from oils or contaminants. Application in moderate temperature and humidity conditions ensures proper atomization and curing. Multiple thin coats build protection and finish characteristics more effectively than single heavy applications, minimizing runs, sags, and orange peel texture. Light dusting coats seal underlying finishes before full wet coats provide final protection and finish development. Adequate ventilation and respiratory protection are essential during application and curing.

Professional Results and Technical Resources

Each 170ml aerosol can provides sufficient coverage for multiple small to medium-scale projects when applied at recommended distances and coat thickness. The formulations cure to durable, handling-resistant finishes suitable for display and photography. The UV protection formulations extend the display life of models exposed to natural lighting or UV-containing artificial illumination. Manufactured by Gunze Sangyo under rigorous quality control protocols, each production batch maintains consistent spray characteristics, finish appearance, and protective properties.
