Choose a system from the book that you are currently using in your shop. You may use a single stage for the top coat. WA 848 Black with a gloss of 30
degrees must be used to ensure correct appearance. This repair, when completed, should have a texture appearance. To achieve this look, several coats
are sprayed to hiding after letting the paint flash. A final coat is applied at a greater distance with less air pressure - to create a textured droplet effect.
Consult your paint manufacturer's representative for specific process requirements.
