Add a durable layer of protection to your exterior projects with Valspar Supreme Edge Exterior Clear Protective Finish. This 100% acrylic formula provides a tough, transparent topcoat designed to shield your surfaces from the elements for years to come. It’s the ideal final step for preserving the beauty of your exterior wood or adding extra durability to a previously painted surface.

The crystal-clear finish helps protect against damaging UV rays to reduce fading of the underlying wood or paint color. The Semi-Gloss sheen adds an attractive shine that is easy to clean and resists cracking and peeling. This formula also creates a mold- and mildew-resistant finish, keeping your exterior surfaces looking pristine.

Key Features:

  • Clear Protective Topcoat: Adds a durable, non-pigmented layer over wood or compatible painted surfaces.
  • UV & Weather Resistant: Helps protect against sun damage, fading, and moisture.
  • Semi-Gloss Finish: Provides a durable, washable surface with a radiant shine.
  • Resists Cracking & Peeling: 100% acrylic formula offers excellent durability and flexibility.
  • Mold & Mildew Resistant Finish: Helps keep exterior surfaces looking clean and fresh.
  • Easy Cleanup: Cleans up easily with soap and water.

Recommended Surfaces:

  • As a protective topcoat over properly prepared and fully cured compatible exterior paints or stains.
  • Directly on properly prepared exterior wood surfaces where a clear, protective finish is desired.
  • Not for use on floors.

Surface Preparation:

  • For applying over an existing coating: Ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and in good condition. Dull any glossy surfaces by lightly sanding. Remove all dust. Test for compatibility in an inconspicuous area first.
  • For applying to bare wood: Remove all surface contaminants. Sand smooth and remove dust. For wood prone to tannin bleed (like cedar or redwood), using a stain-blocking primer before applying the clear coat can prevent discoloration.
  • General: Caulk around windows and doors as needed before application.

Application Instructions: Stir clear finish thoroughly before and during use. Do not shake, as this can create bubbles. Apply only when surface, air, and product temperatures are between 35°F and 90°F (2°C – 32°C) and expected to remain so during the entire application and drying time. Do not apply if rain is forecasted within 24 hours. Apply with a premium-quality brush or roller suitable for water-based finishes.

Product Questions

Q1: What is a "Clear Base" or Clear Finish used for on the exterior?

A clear exterior finish like this product is used as a protective topcoat. It’s applied over bare wood to protect it from weather and UV damage while keeping its natural look, or over an existing paint or stain job to add an extra layer of durability, washability, and UV protection, which can help extend the life of the color underneath.

Q2: Can I apply this directly over my old exterior paint?

You can apply this over an existing paint job, but the surface must be in good condition—not peeling or flaking. It’s crucial to first clean the surface thoroughly and lightly sand any glossy areas to ensure the new clear coat adheres properly. Always test in a small, inconspicuous area first for compatibility.

Q3: How does this protect from sun damage if it's clear?

High-quality exterior clear coats are formulated with special additives that act as UV blockers or absorbers. These additives help to filter out the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, which are a primary cause of color fading and wood fiber degradation over time.
