Mercedes paint application:

Mixed:
The product hardens with a hardener. Attention: at room temperature, once the hardener is added, the product must be used within 3 hours.
The mixture is done by volume (not by weight) at 2 for 1:
- 100 volumes of paint
- 50 volumes of hardener
- dilution according to the preference of the painter: about 10% thinner

Before application:
Thoroughly degrease, clean, dust and prepare the raw surface if necessary (if it is metal, plastic, etc.)
On old paints, no primer is necessary: a light sanding with 800 is enough to create the grip.
