FAQs

What hardener should I use?

Use the HB BODY Hardeners for Topcoats: H752 SLOW, H753 NORMAL, or H754 FAST. The choice depends on the application conditions (temperature, humidity) and desired drying time.

What is the mixing ratio?

The mixing ratio is 2:1 (clear coat to hardener).

How many coats should I apply?

Apply two to three even coats, allowing the recommended flash-off time between coats.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying time depends on the hardener used and ambient conditions. Refer to the hardener's instructions for specific drying times.

Can I use this clear coat on plastic parts?

Yes, but ensure the plastic is properly prepared and primed if necessary. Always check the base coat's compatibility with the plastic.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection. Work in a well-ventilated area.

How do I store the remaining product?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed.

Can I polish the clear coat?

Yes, once the clear coat is fully cured, you can polish it to remove minor imperfections and enhance the gloss.

Troubleshooting

Orange peel effect after application.

Ensure proper spray gun settings, application distance, and even coats. Adjust the hardener or use a thinner if needed.

Runs or sags in the clear coat.

Apply thinner coats and avoid excessive product buildup. Adjust the spray gun settings and distance.

Cloudy or dull finish.

Ensure proper mixing ratios, use the correct hardener, and allow sufficient drying time. Consider polishing the surface after it has cured.

Poor adhesion.

Thoroughly prepare the surface, ensuring it's clean and properly sanded. Use a compatible primer if necessary.
