Eastwood Maroon Rose Metallic is a deep red metallic color that is a bit darker than our very popular Molten Red Metallic, and has a slightly more pronounced flake effect.
This premium 2-component topcoat system is blended with top-quality raw materials and advanced composition coatings technology. Superior to acrylic, alkyd and lacquer coatings. Eastwood’s single-stage urethane paints hold their gloss longer and won’t yellow.
SINGLE-STAGE PAINT MIXING RATIOS
Thoroughly mix three parts single-stage urethane paint with one part Activator. No additional reduction is required but can be used as needed. Use caution in mixing materials as Eastwood’s single-stage urethane paint may begin to gel after approximately two hours (at 70 °F).

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply single-stage urethane paints in two to three medium wet coats as necessary toachieve sufficient coverage, allowing ten minute flash between coats. Additional coatsmay be necessary to achieve total coverage for some metallic colors. A final “fog coat”may be applied with metallic colors to help set an even flake pattern and /or adjust flakeorientation. A dry film thickness of approximately 2 mil is recommended. Paint should bedust free within 10-15 minutes and tack-free within one hour (at 70 °F). Re-coat anytimeafter the previous coat has flashed, or before 18 hours. After 18 hours, paint should beabraded prior to re-coating for proper adhesion purposes.
This urethane paint may be applied as a stand-alone single-stage system, or in combinationwith Eastwood’s High Solids Urethane Clear as a basecoat/clearcoat system. Additionally,Urethane Clear may be integrated into Urethane color. When combining the twosystems, be sure to activate each side (the paint and the clear) separately, with their ownactivators at the correct mix ratios, before blending.
When used as a Single-Stage Urethane Paint, this coating may be wet-sanded and polishedfor increased depth and gloss like any other urethane topcoat. Care should betaken when lightly cutting metallic colors to prevent disturbing aluminum flake.
