The U-Pol Guide #7 Dry Powder Coat is an essential tool for professional auto-body technicians and DIY enthusiasts who demand high-precision surface preparation. Its primary benefit is the ability to instantly reveal low spots, pinholes, and uneven areas during the sanding of fillers and primers, ensuring a perfectly smooth finish before painting. While it is incredibly effective at highlighting flaws, users should note that it is designed as a guide aid rather than a primer or topcoat, meaning it must be removed during the sanding process to ensure proper paint adhesion.

No, this is a guide coat used to highlight imperfections. It must be sanded off and replaced with a proper paint system primer.
Yes, provided the plastic has been correctly primed and prepared, the guide coat is safe for use.
Yes, it is recommended to use a dust mask or respirator to avoid inhaling the fine powder particles during application and sanding.
Since you sand it off completely before painting, it will not interfere with modern basecoat/clearcoat systems.
The longevity depends on the surface area of your projects, but a single can covers a significant amount of surface area due to the thin layer required for effective marking.
It is designed as a dry powder guide coat; for best results, we recommend dry sanding, as water may dissolve the powder prematurely.
Invert the can and spray for 3-5 seconds to clear the valve; if still blocked, remove the nozzle and clean it with a solvent-safe cleaner.
You may have applied the coat too heavily. Use a lighter sweeping motion in future applications to ensure a thin, even dusting.
Ensure the underlying primer or filler is fully cured before applying the guide coat; uncured materials can react with the aerosol carrier.
To ensure optimal results, shake the aerosol can thoroughly for at least two minutes before use. Ensure the surface you are coating is clean, dry, and free of grease or wax. Hold the can approximately 20-30cm away from the surface and apply in steady, sweeping motions to avoid pooling.
Compatibility-wise, this guide coat is suitable for use over most standard automotive fillers, body putties, and primers. After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging. Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain the efficacy of the propellant and powder mixture.
