Question about Posca Marker Set
Good day Which Posca pens/brands are suitable for subsequent coating with clear varnish (car)? Kind regards Daniel
If you use Posca pens (water-based acrylic markers) and plan to seal the painted surfaces afterwards with a clear varnish (car paint, e.g. as a spray), here is a structured overview:
1. which Posca pens are suitable?
Posca markers are available in different tip widths (PC-1M, PC-3M, PC-5M, PC-7M, PC-8K, PC-17K, PCF-350 brush tip etc.) - all use the same water-based pigment colour and are basically suitable for numerous surfaces

The choice of tip depends purely on your desired application (fine lines, large areas, detail, brush technique etc.).
2. preparation before applying clear coat
Allow to dry: Make sure you allow the Posca paint to dry properly - ideally for several days in low humidity. This reduces the risk of cracking or smearing under the clear coat

Spray technique instead of brush: Use spray clearcoat - brush application can remove the colour or spread it unevenly

3. which clear coat is suitable?
a) Water-based, acrylic clear spray paint
Recommended by experienced users:
"Krylon acrylic clear coat (generally matt). Works like a charm."
"Rust-oleum clear matte... let the pens dry well"

Rust-Oleum Clear Matte or Satin are also often recommended. Important: spray several thin coats and allow to dry well in between

b) UV-resistant acrylic spray (e.g. Micador Crystal Clear Spray)
Commonly used for artwork on paper, wood, glass, plastic etc. - protects against fading, is water resistant and available in matt, semi-gloss or gloss finishes

c) Clear coat on other surfaces (car, plastics, metal)
Universally applicable: Acrylic-based spray clearcoat or polyurethane varnish is suitable for surfaces such as wood, metal, glass, plastic, cars, stone, etc.

Important: For flexible surfaces (e.g. plastic, car body), make sure to use flexible paints or use flex additives if necessary (e.g. for backpacks that move)

4. precautionary measures
Testing before application: It is best to test on a sample first - especially with complex substrates or spray ceilings.
Avoid non-matching clear coats: Some paints contain solvents that can dissolve Posca paint - such as synthetic aerosol paints or unsuitable polymers
