edding 5200 permanent spray clear lacquer - transparent glossy - 200 ml - acrylic paint finishing spray with a glossy finish - for sealing and protecting paint - acrylic clear paint

I wanted something to make a newly installed pale grey OpenReach box less unsightly and tried this. I applied the Edding universal primer, then gave it a few coats of Edding's rust-coloured top coat. The nozzle provides a sufficient level of control to achieve an even finish and the primer worked as expected. Only time will tell whether it's durable or not but it seems to have adhered well. By the way, several reviews mention that the nozzle can't be depressed. This is nonsense, and stems from people not reading the instructions. Before first use, you must remove the red plastic ring (beneath the nozzle) that prevents accidental discharge

at a good price

I'm writing this review mostly so other people don't make the same mistake I did. The product does not come with instructions on how to work it, and so I found that I couldn't get the spray to work and ended up sending it back for a replacement thinking it wasn't working. Then, I noticed that on the product details of the page it tells you how to get the spray working. I think the company needs to put this set of instructions either on the product bottle or as an extra slip of paper. I'm sure I'm not the only one that's made this mistake, as usually a product will give you full instructions on the side or in the package not just online. The product itself is excellent. It sets clear so it gives your project a shiny quality, and is easy to use (once you follow the instructions). Just make sure to well ventilate the room you use it in because it's quite strong.

I bought this to use on my cheap costume jewellery to prevent them from going black. I sprayed it yesterday and it made my jewellery look really nice and even more shiny, it wasn't sticky and dried fast. This is much better than clear nail polish, this doesn't make my chains look weird and sticky.

I use this for all my paintings it is low key but effective

Good coverage

I thought this didn’t work and was going to return, but thanks to another reviewer realised the orange ring under spray top needs to be removed! this wasn’t clear on instructions so just be aware After removing worked well

Bought this to finish an up-cycling project of adding wallpaper to some draws, as well as some additional paintwork. This was great, gave a good finish and I didn't need to use too much Make sure you use it outside of in a room with all windows open, that you can shut the door afterwards as it is strong stuff.
