Spray 2~3 coats in double coat until the intermediate coat is fully covered.

NOTE:

  • Do not cover the surface with one heavy coat.
  • Apply several thin coats.
  • Use the 2-part polyester urethane top coat enamel and a spray gun.
  • Mix the top coat enamel with the additive and solvent, and in the correct ratio.
  • Follow the top coat manufacturer's instructions.

After spraying the top coat enamel, allow for 5~10 minutes drying time before you spray the clear coat.

Drying

NOTE: Take care not to let the heat lamp deform the bumper during the drying process.

After spraying the clear coat, allow for 5~10 minutes drying time before you force dry it with infrared lamps or other industrial dryer.

  1. Polishing/buffing
  • Check that the clear coat has dried thoroughly.
  • Wet sand to remove any imperfections.
Use a flexible block soap and #2000 sandpaper.

  • Using a buffer and compound, remove any polishing marks made from the sandpaper.
Use a buffing sponge, and buffing wool and compounds.

Finish up with buffing:

  1. Wet sands with #2000 sandpaper and soapy water.

  1. Remove moisture using compressed air.
  2. Finish using fine compound and very fine compound. Do not polish with an electric polisher.

NOTE: Polish lightly.

  1. Check the finished area at an angle, and make sure there are no polishing marks.
  2. Polish with ultra fine compound and a buffing sponge.

  1. Wax the finished area.
