Performance
1 liter of the mixture is enough to paint 9 ÷ 9,5 m2 of surface with a layer thickness of 60 μm.

Shading
Make sure you have covered all the surface with the clearcoat. You should only shade the surface that has been covered and treated. Use InterTroton FADE OUT THINNER to clean any dust or dirt from the surface and to level out the optical gloss differences between the older and new applied coating.

Polishing and eliminating defects
Usually polishing is unnecessary, as the C48 VHS 2:1 Clearcoat gives the surface a perfect finish immediately after application. However, if some dirt inclusions appear, we recommend removing them and then polishing the surface with an abrasive compound.

General notes
- Do not exceed recommended doses of the hardener!
- The best repair results can be achieved by painting at room temperature. The temperature in the body shop and the temperature of the product should be similar.
- When working with 2K products, it is recommended to use personal protection equipment. Protect the eyes and airways.
- The rooms should be well ventilated.
- Clean the guns and equipment immediately after use.
Caution: To maintain safety, always follow the instructions given in the MSDS for the products.
