How to Spray
Preparation
- Surface Prep: Clean thoroughly to remove dust, grease and old coatings. Lightly scuff or sand smooth surfaces (P400–P600 grit) to promote adhesion. Wipe with a breathable tack cloth or isopropyl alcohol.
- Environment: Ideal temperature 65–75 °F (18–24 °C). Relative humidity 40–60 %. Spray in a well-ventilated area or booth to avoid overspray buildup.
- Personal Protection: Wear a properly fitting respirator rated for solvent vapors. Use nitrile gloves and safety goggles. Keep working area free of open flames or sparks.
Shake & Test
- Shake the can vigorously for 45–60 seconds, inverting several times to mix pigments and metallic flakes.
- Test-spray on a disposable card or scrap piece to check atomization, color and coverage before applying to the final part.
Spraying Technique
- Hold the can 5–6 inches (12–15 cm) from the surface, perpendicular to the panel. Do not tilt.
- Use smooth, even passes, overlapping each pass by 50 % for uniform coverage.
- Depress the trigger fully for consistent flow; release fully between passes to avoid drips.
- Move the can at a steady speed
Layering & Coverage
- Basecoat (solid colors usually before midcoats): Apply two coats (~85 % coverage each), letting each flash for 2–3 minutes before the next.
- Midcoat: Apply medium coats (~75 % coverage) over a darker base. Flash time 5–7 minutes or until tack-free (The amount of coats depends on the final color you want)
- Effect/Pearl Coat (for pearls, metallics or colorshifts): Apply one light “Effect” coat (~25 % coverage) to avoid overpowering. Flash time 5–10 minutes.
Drying before Clearcoat
- Flash Between Coats: Allow each coat to fully flash (no longer tacky) before recoating to prevent runs and orange peel.
- After the final coat of color, wait 30 minutes before applying our 2K Clearcoat Aerosol.
Cleanup & Storage
Cap Clearing: turn the can upside down and spray until only propellant comes out - his keeps the valve and cap clean.
Nozzle Care: Remove and clean with solvent (do not soak)
• • Storage: Store cans upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid freezing or temperatures above 120 °F (49 °C).
