The type of body paint
All cars today are painted with 1K paints (this means a one-component, as opposed to 2K paints, which have 2 components)

1C paints are very thin and quick-drying paints. They are very easy to apply, and it is very easy for an inexperienced painter to get it right.
These paints should be varnished without waiting more than 30 minutes !

Application technique
Prepare the surface* by sanding with 500 grit sandpaper
Remove dust and grease
Shake or stir the paint well before use
For pure paint : dilute by approximately 50 to 70 %.
With a spray gun fitted with a 1.0 to 1.5 mm nozzle, apply the paint in 2 to 4 thin coats. Allow an interval of about 2 to 5 minutes between coats.
Always work at a moderate temperature, i.e. between 15 and 25° C.

*Do you need a primer ?
This is recommended but not mandatory in most cases
If your old paint is scratched and the surface is not smooth, then you should apply a filler

The finishing topcoat
The topcoat is the final touch that will give the shine and resistance to your bodywork and your paint. It is the most delicate step.
A bodywork topcoat is always of professional quality to last over time.
It is a 2-component product, which is applied in 2 coats spaced 10 minutes apart. In general, it takes 24 hours to dry completely, except for fast drying topcoats, where it can be used after only 2 hours.
Among our wide range of car topcoats (lien cat vernis), we offer high quality gloss topcoats, including ceramic topcoats, or even topcoat aerosol sprays
