As Jay is saying, a clear coat is always going to have UV issues. Even an automotive clear or the other high-tech 2-part marine clears are going to break down faster than opaque finishes.

What I am really looking for is a good solution for kayak interiors. Refinishing a kayak exterior is really not very hard, but the interior is a really a hassle. Since it does not get as much UV exposure an epoxy that handles a good bit of UV for awhile would be a nice solution.

I just don't know what the expected life span of these UV stabilized epoxies is. I'm not finding much data.
