It can be applied as a clear translucent topcoat over a wide variety of substrates and basecoats to produce a lustrous full matte finish. Or, mix with our Candies to create a tinted full coverage monocoat (black and red are popular favorites!).

This product carries full test approvals from some of the largest general industrial clients on earth. It is used on automotive interiors, expensive furniture, computer peripherals, hairdryers and even aviation dashboards. Soft Feel instantly transforms hard surfaces into sensational new textures that feel like Velvet, Silk or even Rubber!
