Attention! It is recommended to practice applying the varnish first, for example, on an old wing.
The surface to be varnished must be dry and free of dust. If possible, blow it with compressed air.
Wet the floor with water to prevent dust from forming.
Wipe the repair area and the surrounding area with silicone remover. Wiping with a silicone-removing polish will create an even better base for the topcoat.
Before use, shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least 3-5 minutes, otherwise the varnish will drip on the surface.
When applying Metallic Varnish, spray a small amount of spray paint onto some cardboard to remove any metal particles that may settle on the lift tube.
Large vertical and horizontal surfaces are sprayed with varnish in a "cross-shaped" manner: spraying begins outside the surface and continues moving the stream in the other direction, also starting from the outside.
Small surfaces are sprayed in a spiral pattern from the outside in to avoid overspray.
Move the aerosol can at a uniform speed and at the same distance (approx. 25 cm) from the surface.
To ensure the most unnoticeable transition to a healthy varnish, it is necessary to apply it in at least four overlapping spraying strokes. Each separate application should increase the surface of the previous applied layer by two to three centimeters.
Attention! If spraying is done too close, the spraying movement is too slow or occurs at variable speed, so-called varnish runs occur. This means that in some places the varnish flows down, because too much of it is sprayed on the same place. The same thing happens if, when changing direction during spraying, the sprayer does not pass through a closed surface.
Repeat the spraying process with 5-minute pauses to evaporate the solvent until there is sufficient varnish coating. Between individual spraying strokes, especially for Metallic, shake the aerosol can, as the Metallic particles settle quickly.
Attention! It is very difficult to match the color of the Metallic varnish with the brand varnish. The pigmentation (distribution of aluminum particles) will be more uniform if the last spraying process occurs from a distance of 30 cm instead of 25 cm. Slow movement of the sprayer gives a more saturated color, and fast spraying - a lighter tone.
For the Metallic varnish coating, a base Metallic varnish with a transparent varnish coating is provided, only after this the Metallic varnish acquires its shine. Spraying occurs 3-4 times, and each time you should pause for a few minutes. Before the first application, the base varnish should stand open for at least 30 minutes. The transparent varnish should overlap the new base varnish by about the width of the palm, before this, accordingly expand the protective paper.
Empty the spray can by placing the can on the head and spraying paint until there is none left.
After finishing varnishing work, immediately remove all protective coatings.
Allow the varnished surface to dry. Drying can be accelerated by using a strong photo or reflector lamp.
Caution! Do not use a fan, as this may result in swirling dust particles settling on the fresh varnish.
After the paint has hardened, at least 48 hours later, carefully remove the spray mist on adjacent surfaces with a soft polish and a cotton swab. Polish only in the longitudinal direction of the car.
