IR Drying

5 ÷ 17 minutes under short waves, depending on the layer thickness and the type of radiator.
Do not exceed 60°C.
Use as recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
Wait about 10 minutes before starting the IR drying.

Product efficiency

1 liter of mixture is enough to cover approx. 10÷11 m2 of dry layer with thickness of 60 μm.

Shading

Make sure you have covered the whole area with the base coat and do the shading only on a previously prepared area. Use FADE OUT THINNER to blend the dust that has settled around the repaired surface and to eliminate optical gloss differences between the old lacquer and the newly applied acrylic clear coat.

Polishing and removing inclusions

Usually polishing is unnecessary as SPARK 57 VHS 2:1 gives the surface a perfect look immediately after application. If there are any impurity inclusions, it is recommended to remove them and afterwards polish with a polishing compound.

General notes

- Do not exceed recommended doses of hardener!

- When working with 2K products, it is recommended to use personal protection equipment. Protect the eyes and air ways.
