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.
