Work Steps:
1
Preparation
Clean the airbrush artwork from dust. Do not touch with bare hands!
2
First coat
Apply a thin mist coat of 2K clear coat. This prevents the artwork from bleeding.
3
Build-up coats
Spray 2K clear coat in 3-4 thin layers. Allow to flash off for 15-20 minutes between layers.
4
Curing & finishing
After 48 hours of drying time, the surface can be polished and waxed.
Protection
The beautiful airbrush work needs protection! Multiple layers of 2K clear coat seal the artwork and provide fuel resistance and UV protection.
Pro Tip
The first coat must be very thin! If you spray too much at once, the solvents can dissolve the airbrush colors.
