Product Information

Full details

The Octoral TA875 Smooth Transition Fade Out and Blending Thinner is a professional-grade solution designed for automotive refinishers and DIY enthusiasts who need to achieve seamless, invisible repairs when blending new paint or clear coat into existing finishes. This 400ml aerosol provides superior edge wetting, which significantly reduces the need for heavy color sanding or polishing after application; however, users should be aware that it is specifically optimized for 2K top coats and clear coats and requires careful application to avoid runs or excessive film build.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on single-stage paints?

This product is specifically formulated for 2K top coats and clear coats. Results may vary on single-stage paints.

Does this replace polishing entirely?

It significantly reduces the need for polishing, but a light buffing may still be required to achieve a factory-perfect gloss match.

Is this product compatible with all brands of clear coat?

It is designed for 2K systems, but it is always recommended to test on a small surface before applying to the entire repair.

How long should I wait before applying the blender?

Apply the blending thinner immediately after the final coat of clear coat while the surface is still "wet."

Is the aerosol propellant compatible with all temperatures?

For best performance, use the product in a climate-controlled environment between 15-25 degrees Celsius.

Troubleshooting

Visible edge line after drying

The transition zone was likely too small; apply a lighter, wider mist coat of the blending thinner further out into the existing finish.

Runs or sagging in the clear coat

You are applying too much product in one pass; use lighter coats and increase the distance from the panel.

Nozzle clogging

Ensure you hold the can upside down and clear the nozzle after every use; if already clogged, soak the nozzle in lacquer thinner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using the TA875, ensure the repair area is clean, dry, and free of wax or grease. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the propellant and solvents are properly mixed. Always perform a test spray on a piece of scrap material to check the fan pattern and flow rate. Maintain a distance of approximately 15-20cm from the surface during application using light, sweeping passes. Store the canister in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always clear the nozzle by holding the can upside down and spraying for a few seconds after each use to prevent clogging.
