SPRAY APPLICATION
  • 2 spray applications = approx. 70µm
  • Interim flash off approx. 10-15 min.
  • Final flash off approx. 30 min before furnace or IR drying
  • Dust dry: 15 min at 20°C
  • Touch dry: 5h at 20°C
 
DRYING TIMES
  • Sandable: 12h at 20°C or 30 min at 60°C object temperature
  • Sandable after 1h IR drying
  • Dry sand with P400-P500
  • Wet sand with P800 after 20-30 min / 20°C (as soon as matt stripped)

  • SHELF LIFE
  • Approx. 4 days at 20°C room temperature  The application life depends on the ambient temperature. Higher temperatures lead to shortened, lower temperatures to a longer pot life. 
 
 
POST TREATMENT
  • Recoatable with all commercial grade 1K and 2K paints. If the  2K epoxy primer filler is painted over after 24 hours, it has to be sanded beforehand. 2K UP products Before reworking with 2K putty and high-build filler, maintain a drying time of 24 hours at room temperature or 30 min at 60°C. Wet-in-wet processing with commercially available topcoat and base paints after 25 to 30 min. Recoatable drying at room temperature
 
 
YIELD
  • Approx. 0.5m²–1m² / spray can depending on the application thickness and substrate
  •  
 
 

Universal Basecoats
 
Test spray for volume, spray pattern and required coats needed prior to application. Due to the unique chemistry contained in the Kandy basecoat aerosol, apply light coats approx. 12”-14” from surface. Allow 5-10 flash time in between coats.. Paint will flash as a dull color requiring a clear coat for a gloss finish.
 
 
MIX RATIO  Ready-for-Spray
 
AEROSOL SETUP
  • Shake can repeatedly for 1-2 min vertically and in a circular motion
 
APPLYING BASECOAT OVER PRIMER
  • Apply 2-3 MEDIUM coats over  primer with 50% pattern overlap. Walk long objects. 
  • Avoid dry spraying, as loss of adhesion is possible.
  • Allow  dry time before Kandy is applied (usually about 15 to 60 minutes and not longer than 4 hours). Top/Midcoat within 4 hours 
 
APPLYING KANDY BASECOAT OVER BASECOAT
  • Apply 3-5 MEDIUM coats over  primer with 50-75% pattern overlap. 
  • Avoid dry spraying, as loss of adhesion is possible. 
  • Again, MEDIUM coats work best. Allow flash time between coats.
  • Allow  dry time before Clear is applied (usually about 15 to 60 minutes and not longer than 4 hours). Top/Midcoat within 4 hours 
 
NOTE: DO NOT APPLY HEAVY WET COATS OF THIS PRODUCT AND EXPECT THEM TO FLOW, THIS WILL TYPICALLY RESULT IN WRINKLING AND SPLITTING. They behave very much like lacquer, so apply medium coats only and avoid heavy build. Do not dry spray or lack of adhesion is possible. Apply medium coats, 50% pattern overlap. Flash dull between coats.
 
NOTE: 3 coats equal 1/2 to 3/4 mil, leaving a minimal edge. (Tape pulls away leaving a clean, low edge.)
 
 
 
FLASH TIME:  
  • 8-12 minutes @ 70 degrees
  • Relative Humidity 60-80%
 
DRY TIME
  • Allow dry time before Kandy or clear is applied (usually about 15 to 60 minutes and not longer than 4 hours). Topcoat within 4 hours 
 
FLASH TEST - ALL VMR PAINT BASES WILL DRY DULL AND SHOULD FEEL DRY TO THE TOUCH BEFORE THE NEXT COAT IS APPLIED. Monitor closely for maximum merging of coats
 
CLEAN UP
  • Clean equipment thoroughly with lacquer thinner or urethane reducer (check local regulations).
