Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or poor flow
Ensure correct mixing ratio and adequate thinning. Check spray gun settings (nozzle size, pressure) and maintain consistent application distance.
Clear coat not hardening properly
Verify the correct fast-acting hardener is used and the mixing ratio is precise. Ensure application temperatures are within the recommended range (+10°C and up).
Orange peel effect
Adjust spray gun pressure, reduce travel speed, or slightly increase thinner content. Ensure the viscosity is appropriate for the ambient temperature.
