I need to use clear plastic to cover my solar panels while painters spray one coat of housepaint, is this truly clear or should I get something else?

It's translucent, not completely clear. Solar panels should work trough it but probably not as good though.

It's not as clear as glass but it as clear as any plastic sheeting I've seen.

Sorry this is late, but to answer the question it is not totally clear, there is a slight cloudiness to it. hope that helps

Yes the plastic is relatively clear, just a slight opacity to it and there is a lot of it so it can be layered if needed.

STOP!!!!!!Sorry Larry, I thought you were talking about another item. No it's not clear although it's opaque. It's good quality stuff though. I built a workshop space in my garage and it works well. Keeps area contained, is heavy and help keep material in/out and can create a space that's useful with a space heater in winter or fan in summer.

The clear film UV protection I bought must be applied inside as it wouldn't adhere in weather over time. ( As to the first question, to be honest I haven't been able to find anyone to install it yet--- we have a three story high indoor skylight and I'm still hoping the film will do the job to keep art from fading. )

I use a different product if I paint surface prior to gluing. Very good product for plain plastic to plain plastic

this is clear coated. It will not take paint very easy. There is no way to take it apart to sand it so you can't get a good base to hold the paint.

These are great paints,yrs out should work if the plastic is not overly glossy.

My opinion: No. Eternabond is extremely elastic and while great for sealing out water, would make a poor surface for paint to adhere to. But if you had to paint, then I would recommend that use a product specifically formulated for plastics.

I find that painting over laminant is a bit tricky, a good spray paint that will adhere to plastic seems to work the best, cleaning the surface and lightly sanding with a very, very fine grit sandpaper helps, but even still sliding heavy objects across the freshly painted surface may leave scratches. Good luck.

No. It will not look good to paint this. We just put this solar white lights on the top of the vinyl posts which were already in white. Looks good that way.

Gloss paint yes, Flat no. Use least abrasive for painted surface and test in an area that won't show. Be VERY careful not to rub thru. What kind of coating on plastic surface?

Yes because all this stuff is a clear coat, so trust me it works, don't get me wrong, this stuff is not like a professional booth paint job clear coat, but its the best from my experience for a Do it your self stuff. I even tried the dupli color clear coat and that stuff fades and turns yellow, the USC spray max high gloss does not.

I don't know either. But instead of spraying, I think I would caulk areas you are concerned about. I love this security light. For LEDs it's pretty bright and very responsive. It goes on in my carport the instant I open my door. I've never had a problem with it and I've been using it for probably close to two years. The light part is under the carport, but the solar panel is outside of course.

The surface is pretty smooth and would not take paint well. However, if you could find a primer that would bond with plastic well, then I bet you could paint it.

Aloha, Tom. I need to cover a bathroom window with this material for passing final inspection. It is a clear, plastic film, called "4 mil security film' because it is tough enough to keep robbers at bay. See the YouTube video of thieves giving up breaking into a storefront covered in this stuff. Directions for applying it comes with the order. I saved $170 by buying this and doing it myself over the charge it would have cost me to have a "pro" come out and do it.

yes - the clear. I glued both opaque and I compared the clear that is better.clear here my choice.the clear - I recommend.I tried a film to paste itself it didn't turn outservice everything addressed made perfectly.

It says it's good on PVC but doesn't say plastic in particular. My thought is it should be good but it is just a primer, not a finish coat

Used it on side lenses of mr2 spyder. The more coats you use ,the darker the lense gets. I only used three light coats so they still show light when lit.Gives a matte finish. I think they sell a clear coat to make it shiny.You have to sand first. Do not know if plastidip will work. Mine has not peeled yet.I like the matte look.
