#Mix base coat with clear coat Activator#

I have Imron on Pete's black sheet metal areas.

Gimme good ol' fashioned Acrylic Enamel any day! Trouble is you can't get it any more. Kenīy Tim Wrenn-Monroeville OH on Saturday, Octo07:52 pm: Sounds like you got it Tyrone, sorry but i type slow. Kenīy ken bechtel on Saturday, Octo06:21 pm: go on line to the paint manufacturer of the paint you are using and check out there mixing data. Then the clear needs hardener and reducer. All base coat color i have ever been involved with only uses color and reducer for the base. Thank you.īy Tyrone Thomas - Topeka KS on Saturday, Octo06:08 pm:īy Mark Osterman on Saturday, Octo06:12 pm:īy ken bechtel on Saturday, Octo06:19 pm: Royce, yes I could get kitchen measuring cups and do it that way. This is base coat, flash then top coat.īy Tyrone Thomas - Topeka KS on Saturday, Octo05:56 pm: These usually need a chemical adhesion and the reason for the short over coat time.ĭon't start the spraying session unless you have the time to complete the entire process within the time specified. This is SOP with all BC/CC systems but hardened BC paints usually don't provide very good mechanical adhesion for the top coat. If the base uses a hardener, the top coat (clear) will probably have to be sprayed within a certain time. Must not be urethane.īe sure to follow the directions exactly when it comes to overcoat times. What system are you using? I've never heard of BC requiring a hardener.

Or you could mix 1/2 pound of paint with 1/4 pound of activator and 1/8 pound of hardener.īy Stephen, South Texas on Saturday, Octo05:48 pm: Well you could for example mix 8 ounces of paint with 4 ounces of activator and 1/2 ounce of hardener. I can't figure out the '1/2' activator.īy Royce in Dallas TX on Saturday, Octo05:29 pm: I am sure I am thinking way to hard, but I can not figure this mix out on the measure cup. I have never painted a basecoat/clearcoat, only single stage before. Model T Ford Forum: Paint mix help NOW!
