2K Clear and Primer/Filler
INFORMATION SHEET 9 May 2020
2K Clear Description Recommended for professional use only. A professional med-high solids 2 Pack Clear that offers a tough, durable and UV stable coating with excellent gloss and film clarity. Suitable for use in 2K basecoat / clearcoat refinishing systems using oven, low-bake, or infrared curing. Properties Excellent Clarity High DOI. Excellent Gloss & Flow out. Application Mix 2 parts by volume of 2K Clear with 1 part of volume 2K Hardener (Fast or Medium). Add 10 to 20 per cent by volume of 2K Thinner (Fast, Normal or Slow depending on application conditions and style.) Application viscosity should be approx. 17-19 secs. by Ford cup no. 4 at 20C. Apply 2 or 3 single wet coats allowing a flash-off time of 10-15 minutes between coats. 2K Hardener lids must be resealed tightly after use to prevent reaction with moisture in the atmosphere. Drying Time: Low Bake: Allow at least 15 minute flash-off time before force drying for 30-45 minutes at 60° C metal temperature. Infrared: Flash-off for 15 minutes then 10-20 minutes IR exposure. For air dry applications allow longer. This is a High Solids 2K clear and care should be taken in air dry conditions. Heavy application can result in retarded drying. N.B. Choose Hardeners and Thinners according to temperature and size of object to be painted. Drying time will vary accordingly. Full cure takes approx. 7 days depending on application conditions. For rework before full cure, apply a suitable 2K Isolator to avoid reaction. Pot Life : ~ 6 hours at 20° C. Clean Up: Use GP Thinners. Sanding/Polishing: Use Superfine Grade paper to remove imperfections such as runs If polishing is required use a specially formulated non-burnishing cream. Clean up Use General Purpose Thinner. Storage Always replace the lid securely after use & store in a cool dry place. The data contained in this information sheet is presented in good faith, but without warranty and is accurate to the best of our knowledge. As we have no control over the conditions under which these products are used, it is recommended that all customers conduct their own tests to ensure the suitability of this product for their particular application, equipment and conditions. 2K Primer/Filler Description Recommended for professional use only. A professional high build filler with excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance. This product may also be thinned to reduce the viscosity for use as a lower build primer/surfacer. Suitable for use under 2K basecoat / solid colour refinishing systems. Properties Versatile easily used product. May be tinted up to 10% with compatible 2K tinters. Excellent adhesion Very high build Corrosion resistance Good flow. Good sanding. Suitable Substrates Properly prepared bare metal, fibre-glass, body filler, and original current vehicle finishing systems. TPA finishes (Thermoplastic acrylic) should be isolated first. In all cases the surface must be clean and free of grease and oil etc. Mixing 1) For use as a HIGH BUILD SPRAY FILLER 4 parts 2K PRIMER FILLER 1 part 2K PRIMER FILLER Hardener 2) For use as a PRIMER/SURFACER 4 parts 2K PRIMER FILLER 1 part 2K PRIMER FILLER Hardener 1 part 2K Thinner Fast Mix the base and hardener before adding the required amount of thinner. Allow the mixed base and hardener to stand for a minimum of 15 minutes at 20 oC, Longer in cooler weather, this helps to ensure that the full potential of the coating is realised. Notes 1. As these are two component reactive materials, only mix sufficient for the immediate job. 2. Do not use other hardeners in 2K PRIMER/FILLER. 3. Use of slow & normal 2K thinners will contribute to longer drying & sanding times. These products should only be used when spraying large areas or in hot conditions. 2K Hardener lids must be resealed tightly after use to prevent reaction with moisture in the atmosphere. Application (1) For use as a HIGH BUILD SPRAY Using a gravity feed spray gun at 275-410 kPa (40-60 psi) and a 2mm nozzle set up. Spray up to three coats allowing 10-15 minutes flash-off between coats. (Allow longer in cooler weather.) (Approximately 50-60 microns per coat) Note: Do not bake. Air dry overnight. (2) For use as a 2K PRIMER/SURFACER (Approximately 25 microns per coat) Using a suction spray gun at 275-410 kPa (40-60 psi) and a 1.7 to 2.7 mm nozzle setup. Apply up to 3 coats allowing a 10-15 minutes flash-off between coats. If Baking is required, allow 20-30minutes flash off. (Longer in cooler weather.) Drying Time 1) HIGH BUILD SPRAY FILLER Allow overnight drying at room temperature before sanding with P600-P800 paper. Wet sanding must be undertaken with care. Ensure that all moisture is removed before finishing coats are applied. Water trapped in the film could lead to loss of gloss & delamination. The coating may be baked at low heat to assist drying, but should not be done before 4 hours drying at room temperature. Baking is not recommended for high film build obtained with this coating and could result in solvent-boil from the curing film. 2) PRIMER /SURFACER Air dry 15-20 minutes at 20-25 Degrees C Force dry 30 minutes at 60 Degrees C Notes 1. Ensure Primer/Filler is fully cured and dry before over–coating or refinishing. Pot Life 1.5 hours at 20 oC (Less at elevated temperatures) High humidity can reduce the pot life of the coating. Do not use of this coating when the relative humidity is 80% or above. Pot Life : ~ 1.5 hours at 20° C. Clean Up: Use GP Thinners within the pot-life period. Storage Always replace the lid securely after use & store in a cool dry place.

Acrylic Primer/Filler
Description Recommended for professional use only. Acrylic Primer/Filler is a ready for use spraying primer/putty, suitable for use under Acrylic and Enamel paint systems. Can be used as a 1-hit primer putty or as a primer with the addition of thinner. Able to be applied over properly prepared bare steel, body fillers, fibreglass, etch primer and existing finishes in good condition. Properties Colour - grey High build, easy to sand coating with excellent adhesion. Surface Preparation Thoroughly clean surface to be painted with wax and grease remover. Grind or sand surface rust and treat steel with a suitable rust inhibitor. For best results bare steel should be coated with Etch Primer. Sand Existing painted surfaces with P320 - P400 paper. Finally clean surface with wax and grease remover. Application Stir contents thoroughly before use. As a Primer Putty - Apply straight from can using a spray putty gun with air pressure at 350 - 400 kPa. Use undiluted in most cases. May be thinned for application with a small amount (~5% - 15%) of General-Purpose Thinners to suit a particular spray gun set up. Spray 2-3 medium coats avoiding heavy, wet application. Allow 10 minutes between coats (allow longer at lower temperatures). As a Primer Surfacer - Mix one part Primer/Putty with 0.8 to 1 part General Purpose Thinners. Using a conventional suction gun at 350 - 400 kPa apply 2 - 3 coats, allowing 5-10 minutes between coats (allow longer at lower temperatures). Drying Time 2-4 hours drying time depending on air temperature and film thickness Clean up Use General Purpose Thinner. Storage Always replace the lid securely after use & store in a cool dry place.

GM Black is ideally suited for guide coats, sub-frames, interior panels, boot areas, tail shafts and engine bays. It can also be used for covering overspray around sub-frames and under mudguards. May be applied to bare metal and previously painted surfaces. Surface Preparation Remove scale, rust, old and flaking paint etc using a coarse sanding &/or wire brush. Sand with 400grit paper. All surfaces should be cleaned with wax and grease remover. All surfaces must be dried and painted as soon as possible after cleaning. When applying to non-ferrous surfaces such as galvanised iron, zinc/alum or aluminium apply a thin coat of suitable etch primer. Application Stir contents thoroughly before use. Use conventional spray equipment with a 1.8 - 2.0 mm nozzle and 300 - 400 kPa pressure setting. Can be thinned up to 15% with GP Thinner. Allow 5-10 minutes between coats. A minimum DFT of 20-30 micron is recommended for best exposure durability. Do not apply if material, substrate or ambient temperature is less than 10oC or above 45oC. The substrate must be at least 3oC above the dew point. Relative humidity should be below 85% Drying time Surface dry -5 mins depending on temperature Hard dry -120 mins depending on temperature Clean up Use GP Thinner.
