Technical Data & Application Instructions:

Preparation:

• Surface must be clean, dry, and properly prepared (sand with 400-600 grit for adhesion).
• Apply over primed surfaces (epoxy, primer-sealer, or high-build primer recommended).
• Mask off surrounding areas and ensure good ventilation.

Mixing:

• Mix 1:1 by volume with a quality urethane reducer (medium recommended for 70-80°F conditions; adjust for temperature – fast for cooler, slow for hotter).
• Stir thoroughly before and during use. No additional hardener/activator needed for basecoat.

Application:

• Spray gun setup: 1.3-1.4mm tip, 25-35 PSI (HVLP).
• Apply 2-3 medium wet coats, allowing 5-10 minutes flash time between coats (until matte appearance).
• Full coverage typically achieved in 2-3 coats due to excellent hiding.
• Allow final flash-off of 15-30 minutes (or until fully matte) before applying clearcoat.
• Do not apply too heavily to avoid runs – build in thin, even layers.

Clearcoating:

• Must be top-coated with a high-quality urethane clearcoat (e.g., 4:1 or 2:1 mix) for UV protection, gloss, and durability.
• Recommended: Apply 2-3 coats of clear after basecoat has flashed.

Drying/Curing:

• Air dry or force dry per clearcoat instructions.
• Full cure time varies with temperature and clearcoat used.

Important Notes:

• For professional or experienced DIY use. Test on a small area first.
• Always wear proper PPE (respirator, gloves, eye protection).
• Store in a cool, dry place away from heat/sparks.
