finish offers excellent gloss retention and color permanence.
See information from the appropriate supplier for working specifications of the base-solid paint.
Stir paint thoroughly before commencing work. This is essential to minimize the risk of color mismatching.
Dilute paint to correct spraying viscosity
Use prescribed thinner. Other thinners may cause uneven finish.
Note:
Always paint a sample to check the color before touching-up with base-solid paint.
Spraying viscosity: flow cup, 4 mm/20~C.
Adjust spray gun
Correct adjustment of the spray gun is important when applying paints.
Use 1.3-1.5 mm nozzle and spray, it pressure of 300-500 kPa (43.5-7-.5 lb/sq.in.). Incorrect nozzle specifications may make it impossible to achieve
correct shade.
Poor atomization caused by incorrect nozzle size will produce large droplets and cause excessively "wet" (dark) application.
Excessive coating thickness may promote uneven finish.
Spray on first coat at normal rate of application
Allow paint to dry to matt appearance
Note:
There is a risk of uneven finish if drying time is too short.
Spray on second coat at reduced rate of application Increase spraying distance. Thickness of coat should be 15-25 micron meter following second
application. (Shade will be stronger if second coat is too heavy.)
Allow paint to dry naturally (in ventilated area) for approx. 15 minutes
Note:
Paint finish may become uneven if clear lacquer is applied before base coat is completely dry.
Apply two coats of clear lacquer, ensuring even coverage
Wait 3-4 minutes between each coat.
Coating thickness: 40-45 micron meter
Dry clear lacquer
