FINISHES

UHS 2K Finish
developed for refinishing works on car and truck bodies.

The 7080 lacquer is a top quality product that emits low VOCs. For gear painting refer to our 'Painting for Industry' Category.

UHS*: Ultra HigH Solid means that the rate of solids after solvent evaporation is higher. It allows for better packing, thickness and durability.
2K: This means that the product does not need to be topcoated; compared to 1K basecoats to be clearcoated, it's glossy, hard and resistant in one step.

7080 2K Paint application:

Let stand for 15 minutes to allow the product to stabilize.

The mixing is done by volume (not by weight) in 1 or 2 passes:
- 100 volumes of 7080 lacquer
- 50 volumes of 5225 hardener /
- Thinning will be depending on the painter's preference: about 10% of 710 thinner

Before application:
Degrease thoroughly, clean, dust and prime the raw surface if necessary (if the surface is made of metal, plastic...)
On old paintings, no primer is needed: a light sanding with 800 paper is enough to create adherence.

Application:
Gun (1.2-1.5mm) in 1 or 2 passes (allow a 10min interval between each coat)
