- Application
- Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for applying their basecoat system.
- Allow Base Coat a flash time of 15-30 minutes before applying clearcoat.
- Apply 2 medium coats of 1400 Clearcoat. Allow 5-10 minutes flash time between coats.
- Flash/Dry Times (Air Dry 77°F)
Flash Between Coats 5-10 minutes Dust Free 20 minutes Time to Assemble 6-8 hours Time to Polish 3-4 hour Time to Stripe 12 hours Time to Deliver 8 hours Time to Decal 48 hours - Flash/Dry Times (Bake at 120°F):
Time to Assemble 2 hours Time to Polish 2 hours Time to Stripe 12hours Time to Deliver 6 hours Time to Decal 12hours - Polishing
- Optimum Times : Air Dry: 4 hour at 77°F
- Sanding : Use 1500 grit or finer or use 1500 DA or finer
- Compounding : Use finishing compound. Apply a thin ribbon of material to the area to be polished. Use a double sided wool pad or a foam pad. Maintain air polisher or variable speed polisher at 1800-3000 rpm. Remove excess finishing compound with a clean soft cloth prior to applying finishing polishing
