Poppy’s Patina Clear-Coat is not just a “sauce” that wears off — it seals your patina in a UV-protected coat that will bead water for years. Located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Poppy’s Patina is quickly becoming widely known as the best wipe-on clear coat for classic cars and trucks.
This clear coat product is a very simple wipe-on (or optional spray-on) application that provides beauty and depth to all patina surfaces. It seals surface rust and prevents further deterioration. The product enriches colors and provides UV protection to prevent further color fading.
This product is as simple as wetting a cloth and wiping it on. No wipe off necessary, it dries streak-free, and one coat is sufficient for a long-lasting effect that can be enjoyed for years.
Poppy’s Patina Matte Finish will appear to be wet and shiny upon initial application but after 10-15 minutes cure time will have a matte finish that beads water for years to come.
Poppy’s Patina Gloss Finish dries to a hard finish that beads water for years to come.
Both the Matte and Gloss Finishes are sold in 32oz cans.
One 32 ounce container is sufficient to cover one long bed Chevrolet C10 Truck.
Poppy’s Patina clear catalyst can be used with either the matte clear coat or gloss clear coat by mixing at a ratio of 8:1 (8 parts clear to 1 part catalyst). This will add chemical resistance to the clear coat protecting it from accidental gas spills, etc. The catalyst is packaged in 8oz containers providing enough product to catalyze two 32oz cans of clear coat.

Dewey Dougherty of Ocala, Florida initially selected Poppy’s Patina to protect his custom-built 1965 International Loadstar because of the apparent ease of application. He’s sprayed many other clear-coats with marginal results — but after reading some of Poppy’s Patina past customer reviews and testaments to how easy the product was to apply, the decision was made.
He tested a small area first spaying and then wiping portions of one of the fenders to see what he preferred. Dewey tells us that his homework paid off — application of the protectant really was quite easy.
Interestingly, Dewey decided to both spray and wipe the product on — he elected to wipe most of the body and sprayed the roof and under the hood.
“I’ve never wiped on clear before, so it was new to me. But the result blew my mind.”
Dewey Dougherty
Dewey reached out to Brian, owner at Poppy’s Patina as he had some questions, which were answered quickly. “Their customer service is like no other, I love the smaller places that have a good product with outstanding customer service,” Dewey says.
Dewey has washed his truck several times since application, and he tells us that it is holding up just as you would expect. The water just beads up and rolls off.
His truck stays mainly in his shop, but he drives it every week two or three times, so it sees its fair share of blistering Florida sun. He couldn’t be happier with it, he says.
Shake well before use. DO NOT APPLY IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
