DocumentDocumentInstructions for Super Wet Show 4:1 Clearcoat SURFACE PREPARATION, CURED PAINT SURFACES Wash surfaces with a mild detergent and hot water. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Solvent clean with wax and grease remover. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. For spot repairs, scuff sand area where basecoat and clearcoat will be blended with 320 to 600 grit sandpaper or nylon scuff pad. For overall refinishing, scuff sand the entire car with 400-600 grit sandpaper or fine scuff pad. SURFACE PREPARATION, NEW BASECOAT Apply after adequate flash of basecoat, waiting no longer than 24 hours after last coat of base. For best results, follow flash times and film thickness recommendations of the basecoat supplier. Note: flash times vary between basecoats and are dependent on the shop temperature and air movement. Insufficient basecoat flash time may lead to movement of the basecoat metallic pigments and loss of clearcoat gloss. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAR 4:1 4 Parts HQC-8000 Super Wet Show Clear to 1 Part HQA Activator. Once catalyzed, HQC-8000 is ready to spray. However, for specific shop conditions. In cold weather, the use of a urethane cure accelerator, will speed overnight cure. CAUTION: care should be exercised in the addition of cure accelerators to urethane products. A significant reduction in potlife and a loss of clearcoat gloss can occur if over accelerated. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAR Adjust air pressure at the spray gun to 27-30. A HVLP gravity feed spray gun with a tip size of 1.3mm or 1.4mm is recommended. Use less pressure to minimize over spray on small jobs. Apply 2-3 wet coats at a gun distance of 8-12 inches allowing each coat to become slick before applying the next coat. Recoat times will vary with temperature between 10 and 15 minutes. Apply each coat of clear within 30 minutes flash of the previous coat to prevent possible recoat lift. BUFFING If buffing is needed to remove dirt, allow the clearcoat to dry 8-10 hours then wet sand with 1500 grit sandpaper followed by 2000 grit sandpaper. When all 800-1000 scratches are removed, buff with a fine grade liquid rubbing compound followed by a polish or glaze compound applied by hand or machine. Buffing is easiest within the first 7 days after application. Email: Sales@autopainthq.com Website: Autopainthq.com
