Direct gloss spray paint for car OPEL KADETT in car manufacturer colour 551 Cargo Red Solid

This is a single-component product, meaning it does not require a hardener. 1K paints dry by air once applied and do not need to be mixed with catalysts or hardeners.
They are recommended for small to medium-sized touch-ups. If you need to paint a larger area, we strongly recommend applying a 2K protective clear coat over the paint or, alternatively, choosing a 2K two-component paint directly.

How to use:

• Clean the area you want to paint with soap and water.
• Sand and then thoroughly degrease the surface using an anti-silicone cleaner. (We recommend using a dedicated anti-static cloth, which does not leave lint on the treated surface.)
• Shake the spray can thoroughly for several minutes.
• Apply the product at a temperature of approximately 20°-25°C.
• Apply the paint evenly in thin coats to prevent runs. Start with a light tack coat, then apply 1 or 2 full coats of color.
• Allow approximately 15-20 minutes between coats before applying the next one.
• We recommend an application distance of approximately 15-20 cm from the surface.
  The higher the temperature, the shorter the application distance should be, as the paint tends to dry while traveling through the air between the nozzle and the surface, preventing it from flowing out properly and resulting in an undesirable orange peel finish. In colder conditions, the standard distance of 20-25 cm is recommended.
• Removal with acetone and/or nitro thinner.

Recommendations:

• The finish can be polished using a professional rubbing compound (not those intended for DIY use), no sooner than 15 days after the paint has fully cured. We always recommend using water-based rubbing compounds: highly aggressive polishing products (such as solvent-based compounds) may damage the paint even long after it has fully cured.
• Use the universal spray can handle for easier and more even application.
• Slight color differences are possible, so avoid creating a sharp transition between the new and the existing paint. Always blend the repair area carefully.
