Giardini Extra Matte Clear Top Coat

Giardini Extra Matte Clear Top Coat

Made in Italy, the Giardini Extra Matte Clear Top Coat is used as the the final layer on colored and fashion paints. The matte top coat has two main purposes: 1) as a clear matte finish with a rubbery look/feel on the leather edge, and 2) as a protective layer against the environment such as UV rays that can fade colors over time.

The Matte top coat can be applied by hand or machine. It is an extremely elastic product as has a little risk of cracking over time. This product is made from several hybrid resins that provides it with matte and protective characteristics. It also has a rubbery look when dry.
