MIXING:

Filter clear/reducer before mixing flake. Once flake is mixed in, you cannot filter or it will get trapped.

Mix flake into intercoat D19 with stirring stick. Add small increments (1-3 tablespoons per quart of ready to spray material) at a time until you have reached the desired effect. While mixing, quickly remove the stirring stick to help you gauge flake coverage. Lighter bases may require more than 3 tablespoons per liter

After mixing, pour mixture into the cup of your gun, but DO NOT use a filter. Also, please remember your gun’s filter must be removed before pouring.

SPRAYING:

Gun should not be too far from the surface, 4-5 inches is ideal. Spray 1-3 coats. Try not to apply more than three flake coats because this increases roughness, which can lengthen the smoothing/sanding process, allow time to fully flash (follow coating manufacturer’s recommendation). Once flashed, use a scuff pad (NOT sandpaper, tac cloth, then proceed with additional flake coats.

We recommend spraying a test panel or color card prior to application to dial in spray settings, coats and coverage. In this crucial step take note of gun angle & pressure, distance, overlap and spray technique.

Follow the coating manufacturer’s recommended flash time in between coats, according to the temperature you are spraying in. Once satisfied with flake coverage, allow time to fully flash and follow the manufacturers instructions.

Tips

Gravity guns and siphon guns (with filters removed) work well. Hand agitation/swirling the gun between panels is helpful to keep flakes suspended in the gun’s hopper.

For strong flake coverage in each coat you may need to increase tip size
