Specifications:
Color: Galaxy Silver (GMC WA-519F)
Type: BaseCoat (requires clear coat topcoat)
Size: 1 Gallon (128 fl oz)
VOC Compliant: Meets environmental standards in most regions (check local regulations).
Shelf Life: Up to 2 years when stored properly (unopened).
Not included: Reducer/thinner, hardener, clear coat, or application tools – sold separately.
Application Instructions: For best results, follow these steps carefully. Always work in a well-ventilated area, wear protective gear (gloves, mask, goggles), and test on a small area first. This paint is for professional or experienced use only – if you're new to painting, consult a pro!
Surface Preparation:
Clean the surface thoroughly with soap and water, then degrease using a wax and grease remover.
Sand the area with 400-600 grit sandpaper for smooth adhesion. For bare metal, apply a primer first (e.g., epoxy or self-etching primer).
Mask off surrounding areas to prevent overspray.
Mixing:
Shake or stir the paint well before use.
Thin with a compatible urethane reducer (recommend 4:1 ratio – 4 parts paint to 1 part reducer) for spray application. Adjust based on your equipment and conditions (warmer temps may need more reducer). Do not over-thin to avoid runs.
No hardener required for basecoat, but use one if mixing with other components.
Application:
Use a HVLP spray gun with a 1.3-1.4mm tip for optimal results. Apply at 50-60 PSI.
Apply 2-3 light, even coats, allowing 5-10 minutes flash time between coats. Avoid heavy coats to prevent sagging.
Ideal temperature: 70-80°F (21-27°C) with low humidity.
Dry time: Tack-free in 15-30 minutes; ready for clear coat in 30-60 minutes. Do not exceed 24 hours before clear coating, or scuff and reapply.
Topcoating:
Apply a 2K clear coat (e.g., urethane clear) over the basecoat for protection and shine. Follow the clear coat's instructions for mixing and application.
Allow full cure (up to 24-48 hours) before polishing or exposing to elements.
Cleanup & Safety:
Clean tools immediately with lacquer thinner or acetone.
Warnings: Flammable – keep away from heat/sparks. Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Use in a ventilated space or with a respirator. Dispose of waste per local regulations. Not for household use. Keep out of reach of children.
Shipping & Handling:
Ships via ground only due to hazardous materials regulations (no air shipping).
Continental US shipping available; contact for international rates.
Item is new, sealed, and ready to ship within 1-2 business days.
