ProtectaClear Everbrite 16 Oz Clear Protective Coating for Metal – Restore Color & Guard Against Tarnish

Overview

ProtectaClear Everbrite 16 Oz Clear Protective Coating for Metal helps revitalize weathered or faded metal surfaces. This crystal-clear layer preserves the original color and luster while adding a durable shield against the elements. The finish remains transparent, so the metal’s character isn’t hidden—it’s enhanced while protection works in the background.

Designed for versatility, it can be used on painted and unpainted metals alike, making it suitable for hardware, fixtures, art, automotive trim, and outdoor accents. A single clear coat can help you maintain a consistent look across mixed metal projects without masking the underlying texture. The product's clear, protective layer is formulated to endure everyday exposure while staying unobtrusive to the metal’s natural beauty.

What it does

• Restores color and luster on faded metals and guards against tarnish, rust, corrosion, fading, chalking, oxidation, and UV exposure.
• Provides color retention for any colored metal, backed by UV blockers that help slow color change under sun exposure.
• Seals porous metals, including raw steel, rusted surfaces, and corten, helping prevent drips and stains while preserving detail.
• Offers easy application options—dip, brush, wipe-on, or spray—with self-leveling properties that reduce brush marks and blend to itself (self-annealing).

Real-life use cases

Think of refreshing vintage hardware, restoring patina on copper fixtures, or protecting outdoor sculptures without altering their look. The coating creates a clear, glassy finish that keeps the metal’s texture visible while providing a protective barrier against the elements. It’s a practical choice for projects where you want durability without changing the metal’s character.

How to use
