• Light rub P800 dry with interface pad 150mm sander 5mm orbit – Final check and smooth out G6 aerosol without sanding through
• Clean with water metho cleaner SWX 250 / Followed by prepsol – Two types of contaminants needs two cleaners -R.G water meth removes sweat, prepsol does not.
• SATA X5500 HVLP 1.3 I – 2 Turns out from closed / 1.5 bar / Fan fully open – 1.0 bar for final drop/technique coat – slow thinner / Hardener as per PDS
• SATA X5500 RP 1.3I - 2 Turns out from closed / 2.2 bar / Fan fully open - D800 or DC 516 to seal of base fast hardener / medium thinner – get film hard and ready to sand for flow coat
• Use SATA X5500 RP -Reduced Pressure if using piston compressor – Atomises at a lower / reduced pressure vs HVLP – High Volume Low Pressure – Good with Screw compressor
• Flow coat Preparation
• Block clear P400 Dry
• 150 MM P400 no interface /P800 dry with interface followed by Abralon P1000 damp (clean water or metho water
