A dry guide coat is used to highlight surface imperfections like scratches, dents, and low spots on prepared automotive panels. It is applied as a fine powder, and the remaining dust in the imperfections indicates where more work is needed.
While it can be used on any color, this orange guide coat is specifically designed for optimal visibility on dark-colored panels. For light colors, a contrasting color like grey or black might be more suitable.
Remove the cap and lightly dust the powder onto the prepared surface using the integrated applicator. Aim for a thin, even layer.
No, this is not a primer or paint. It is a temporary marking agent used specifically to reveal surface defects before the actual painting process.
The container holds 150g of orange dry guide coat powder.
The guide coat can typically be wiped away with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn residue, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by ensuring the surface is completely dry.
The manufacturer is Fast Mover Tools.
Ensure the panel is clean and dry. Apply a lighter, more even dusting. Check if the surface is too dark, requiring a higher contrast guide coat, or if the imperfections are too minor for the guide coat to highlight effectively.
Gently tap the container to ensure the powder is free-flowing. Check the applicator tip for any blockages and clean if necessary with a dry brush.
Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth. If residue persists, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the panel is completely dry before proceeding with the painting process.
Setup: The guide coat is ready to use straight from the container. Simply remove the cap and use the integrated applicator to lightly dust the prepared surface.
Compatibility: This product is designed for use on prepared automotive panels prior to painting. It is compatible with most standard automotive primers and paints. It is most effective on dark-colored surfaces.
Care: Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent the powder from drying out or becoming contaminated. Clean the applicator tip if it becomes clogged with excess powder.
