Overview

Built for the job.

Tex Coat is a rapid drying, flexible protective coating. Texture can be varied to match OEM textures as found on rocker panels, valances, etc.

TRANSTAR® 4303 Tex Coat Chip Guard is a 16 oz aerosol clearcoat designed to protect repaired panels from stone chips, UV exposure, and environmental wear. It is commonly applied as a final protective layer over primer, basecoat, or clearcoat in collision repair and refinishing operations.

The formulation offers a flash time of 10–15 minutes at 70 °F (21 °C), allowing rapid handling and reduced cycle time. It adheres to a wide range of substrates, including aluminum, bare metal, e‑coat, fiberglass, galvanized steel, OEM plastics, primer, SMC, and standard steel, providing versatile coverage for mixed‑material repairs. The product remains stable for up to one year when stored properly.

Because the aerosol is classified with a Danger signal word and contains acute toxicity, flammable solvents, and oxidizers, appropriate PPE—eye protection, gloves, protective clothing, and a respirator—must be worn. Use in a well‑ventilated area and keep away from ignition sources; the flash point is 41.1 °C (−42 °F).

Why Pros Choose Transtar Autobody Technology Tex Coat

  • Fast drying
  • Paintable in 30 to 60 min
  • Matches any OEM finish
  • Highly chip resistant

Application Guide

  1. Clean the substrate and remove all grease, oil, and loose material. Ensure the surface is dry.
  2. Mask off any areas not to be treated.
  3. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for 30‑45 seconds before use.
  4. Apply a light, even coat with a steady spray pattern. Allow the coat to flash for 10‑15 minutes at 70 °F (21 °C) before handling.
  5. If additional coverage is required, apply a second coat after the flash time has elapsed.
  6. Allow the final coat to cure to touch dry before re‑handling the part; full cure occurs after the listed flash time.
