  1. Polishing

Check that the primer surfacer has dried thoroughly, then sand the primer surfacer.

Use the double action sander and #320~#400~#600 disc papers.

  1. Air blowing/degreasing
Use the alcohol, wax and grease remover.

Also clean and degrease the surfaces where the masking tape will be attached.

  1. Masking

Mask the area surrounding the damage to prevent over spray from the intermediate coat.

Use masking tape and paper.
  1. Spraying top coat enamel

Spray the top coat enamel over the surface until the primer surfacer is fully covered.

NOTE: For the 3-coat pearl paint, spray the colour base over the surface.

  • 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.

  1. Drying

After spraying top coat enamel or colour base (3-coat pearl paint), allow 5~10 minutes of normal drying time, then force dry it with infrared lamps or other industrial dryer.

NOTE: Follow the top coat manufacturer's instructions for drying time.
