An old friend of mine, Gary Molitar, works @ Triangle coating in San Leandro
CA. They manufacture products for digital printing (like giant billboard
stuff) and also unique coating products.
You may have seen them mentioned as Bulldog products (Bulldog Ultra etc.).
I'd give the web site here but it has been clogging up my browser as I
write.
Go to 'Google' and type in "triangle coatings san leandro" and it'll take
you there.
The coatings have been specially developed over a period of years and are
really terrific at protecting and blocking UV.
They are BEST applied via air brush. There is a product available in Home
Depot called an Apollo HVLP that'll do it. If you have a compressor purchase
a good quality 'touch-up' sprayer. It is sort of like an artist's air brush.
Hope my info aids. If you have any questions, email.
Jack
