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® 4313 Tex Coat Chip Guard is a 16‑oz black aerosol formulated to protect repaired panels from stone chips and abrasion during the final stages of a paint system. It is applied as a clear, fast‑drying barrier over primed or base‑coated surfaces before topcoat application.

The product offers a flash time of 10–15 minutes at 70 °F (21 °C), allowing rapid re‑coating in high‑throughput body shops. Its solvent blend adheres to a wide range of substrates, including aluminum, steel, galvanized steel, fiberglass, e‑coat, OEM plastics, SMC, and pre‑applied primers, giving technicians flexibility across most shop projects. Shelf life is one year when stored under recommended conditions.

Because the aerosol is classified with a Danger signal word and contains acute toxicity, flammable, and respiratory hazards, use requires appropriate personal protective equipment: eye protection, chemical‑resistant gloves, protective clothing, and a respirator. Ensure adequate ventilation and follow standard first‑aid procedures for inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion.

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 and degrease the substrate (aluminum, bare metal, e‑coat, fiberglass, galvanized, OEM, plastic, primer, SMC, steel) to a dry, oil‑free condition.
  2. Shake the 16 oz aerosol can vigorously for at least 30 seconds before use.
  3. Apply a light, even spray coat. Allow the first coat to flash for 10–15 minutes at 70 °F (21 °C) before applying additional coats if needed.
  4. After the final coat, allow the surface to cure under the same temperature conditions before handling.
