Add durable protection while maintaining a desirable low sheen with Valspar Pro-Hide Gold Ultra Interior Clear Finish in an Eggshell lustre. This ~1-Gallon (3.43L) container provides a high-quality, water-based (assumed) topcoat likely designed to complement the Pro-Hide Gold Ultra paint line. It’s presumably formulated with Zero VOCs*, making it suitable for enhancing protection in sensitive environments. (Confirm VOC content and compatibility on product label)

This clear finish shields underlying painted surfaces or bare wood from scuffs, dirt, and wear without adding significant gloss. The subtle eggshell sheen offers a slight step up in washability from a completely flat surface while preserving a sophisticated, low-reflection look. Expect easy application and soap-and-water cleanup.

Recommended Uses: As a protective clear topcoat over compatible*, fully cured Pro-Hide Gold Ultra (or similar) interior painted surfaces (walls, trim) or directly on properly prepared interior wood where a clear, low-sheen protective finish with low/zero VOCs* is needed. Not for use on floors. (Always verify compatibility)

Surface Preparation:

  • Over Paint: Ensure the underlying paint is fully cured (allow ample time), clean, dry, and sound.
  • Bare Wood/Other Surfaces: Surface must be clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Sand smooth. Seal stains or prime if needed with compatible products before applying clear coat.
  • General: Thoroughly clean the surface and allow it to dry. Remove any loose material. Lightly dull glossy surfaces if applying over existing finishes.

Application Instructions: Stir clear finish thoroughly. Intermix containers for uniformity if needed. Apply only when surface, air, and product temperatures are between 50°F and 90°F (10°C – 32°C). Apply with a premium-quality brush, a short-nap synthetic roller cover, or airless sprayer (check label for specific spray settings). Thinning not usually required. Apply thin, even coats. Avoid pooling or over-application.

Clean-up & Disposal: Clean tools and spills immediately with warm, soapy water. Do not pour unused product down the drain. Consult local authorities for proper disposal and recycling methods.

Product Questions

Q1: What's the main reason to use an Eggshell clear coat instead of just Eggshell paint?

An Eggshell clear coat adds an extra layer of protection over the paint (or bare wood), enhancing its durability, washability, and resistance to scuffs while maintaining a very similar low-sheen appearance. It’s useful in areas that might see slightly more wear but where a satin or semi-gloss sheen isn’t desired.

Q2: Will this Eggshell Clear Finish make my flat paint look like eggshell?

Yes, applying this over flat paint will impart a subtle eggshell sheen onto the surface, changing it from completely non-reflective to having a very slight luster. It won’t drastically change the look but will add that characteristic low sheen.

Q3: Is this product suitable for use over stained wood trim?

Yes, applying an eggshell clear coat over properly dried and cured stained wood trim is a common application. It protects the stained wood from wear and dirt while providing a subtle, furniture-like finish that isn’t too glossy. Ensure the stain is compatible (most modern water-based or oil-based stains are, once fully dry).
