Don't have your colour code ?

In this case we invite you to look inside the right front door, where you will normally find a series of numbers and letters that represent the paint reference. We cannot determine the colour code for you.

*the primer :

It is not necessary to use a primer in all cases. It is necessary when there is a fairly transparent colour, and when there are different background colours, often as a result of a filler application, for example, to repair a damage. A filler may be necessary as it also helps to reduce surface defects such as small scratches.

We offer a primer in a can and a primer aerosol spray 

How to use a car paint

Your background may be the original paint, i.e. a topcoat.
If this base is in good condition, then a quick sanding with 500 is all that is needed to create good conditions for adhesion.
The application is done with a spray gun or an aerosol spray :
(spray gun 0.8 to 1.5 mm / 2-3 bars / temperature 15-25°C)
Apply several thin coats, allowing 2-5 minutes drying time between each coat.
The number of coats is less important than the final thickness or the complete coverage of the base. It is always better to apply thin coats rather than thick ones.

We advise you to carry out a test on a small plate before touching up your vehicle.
Once the paint has been applied, do not delay painting : a maximum of 30 minutes is allowed before painting. After this time, the paint must be sanded again to be able to adhere to it.

These 15 minutes give you time to clean your spray gun and mix your topcoat quietly.
It is not necessary to degrease freshly applied paint, as it does not contain contaminants, if it has been touched with dirty, greasy hands. It is advisable to remove dust before varnishing. This is done with a sticky pad.

**We offer a wide range of body paints, all of which are of professional quality.

If you find it difficult to choose, we clearly recommend the UHS 830 topcoat, a reliable and efficient topcoat, which allows painting at room temperature, in all seasons, thanks to its 3 application temperatures
