Work Steps:
Degreasing
Wipe again with silicone remover shortly before painting. No fingerprints on the surface!
Base Coat
Apply base coat in 2-3 thin layers. Allow to flash off for 5-10 minutes between layers.
Clear Coat
After 20-30 minutes, spray 2K clear coat in 2-3 layers. This adds shine and protects the base coat.
Drying
Allow to dry dust-free for at least 24 hours. At room temperature, no direct sunlight.
Attention
A dust-free environment is essential! Wet the floor and close the garage door. Every speck of dust will be visible in the paint later.
The Goal
Now it’s getting exciting! The prepared parts are getting their new paint job. The tank and side covers are being coated with high-quality base coat and clear coat.
Pro Tip
Before use, warm spray cans in warm water (not hot!) to approx. 25°C. The paint will then spray more finely and evenly.
