How to Use

  1. Remove excess dirt or other contaminants before applying.  The cleaner the surface the better the end result.  Wash, rinse and dry the vehicle before applying;
  2. The ideal surface temperature for application is between 15 to 27 degrees Celsius.  DO NOT spray on to a hot engine or exhaust, allow to cool;
  3. Place the sealed 1L bottle in a bucket of hot water.  This will make the product more viscous and easier to spray as well as providing better coverage.  DO NOT dilute with water;
  4. Open the bottle allowing air in to the bottle, reseal and shake/tip upside down to mix.
  5. Use an airless spray system with a a pressure of 1,000 to 2,000 PSI for application.  These are professional spray paint units and can be rented from Coates Hire, Kennards and others.
  6. Keep a constant distance of 20 to 25 cm from the nozzle to the surface being sprayed.  Move the spray gun parallel to the area being sprayed whilst holding the spray gun perpendicular to the surface.  Spray an area of less than 1.8 m across at any one time.  Only ONE spray pass is needed to achieve the proper wet film thickness of between 125 to 250 microns;
  7. Over spray can be removed with a damp cloth whilst the coating is wet;
  8. Drying time is 10 to 15 minutes in ambient air or 1 to 3 minutes in an air oven;
  9. Once the coating is dry inspect to ensure the coating application is consistent.

Product does not contain silicone.
