Application guide for a professional finish

For a flawless result, the surface must be clean and prepared using 1-951 Silicone Remover and sanding with P400 grit or finer. Application is done in 2-3 coats with a thickness of 15-25 µm. For this metallic color, an additional spray coat is recommended with a reduced air pressure (1.2-1.5 bar) for perfect particle orientation. Air drying at 20°C (68°F) takes 10-15 minutes to be dust-free and 15-20 minutes to be dry to handle.
