Prepare the surface
When the model has already been painted and paint is completely dry, remove any dust or imperfection on the paint. This is especially important for dark particles on light background
Mix the components
Our 2K system has to be mixed in a 2:1 ratio (clear:hardener).
Thinning is a very personal issue and will depend on your airbrushing style. Nevertheless, we recommend you to add half the amount of clear, so the total ratio will be 2:1:1
Lay down the clearcoat
Once mixed, you have 45 minutes of open time to apply the clearcoat.
Our recommendation is to apply 3 coats of clear, letting 10 minutes in between, from a first mist coar to a wetter third and final coat.
If, after this third coat, you see orange peel, insist in that area a little bit until you see it gone
Let dry and see
2K clearcoat will be really sticky after the application and any dust spec will adhere to the surface. Cover the model to avoid it.
Everythin will be dust dry after a couple hours and you will be able to handle it after 24 hours.
You feel ready to polish?
For a showcase finish, after 24 hours, you can flat all the surface sanding from #6000 to #12000 and then apply our 3 Stage Polish System.
