FORD EUROPA touch up paint: spray paint for TAUNUS in metallic colour xsc1463 tibetan gold met.(vedi feu 1 9407)

Our paints are all produced with a specific color analyzer, an innovating digital tinting machine. Such tintometer is used to replicate the exact match of the original color of your car.

Raw materials are selected based on sustainability and the latest environmental impact criteria. Gas, specifically, is not an oil-based product but is obtained by the fermentation of pure organic waste materials. It is certified to 99%.

The main physical characteristics of a good metallic paint are: high coverage and good adhesion.

High coverage
Car paints need to be highly covering for a simple reason: being able to reach a good color cover with only a few coats of paint helps to avoid unpleasant steps between the new color applied and the old one.

Adhesion
Metallic paints must also anchor well (after sanding a little bit and cleaning), because they must be able to support the clear coat (required). We can apply a mono-component clear coat or bi-component one (best option).

Every clear coat on our website is fully compatible with paints we produce. If you already have a clear coat from another manufacturer, we recommend to test it before application, because some may not be compatible.

We recommend for major repairs the two-component clear coat (2K), high gloss and high solid. For small repairs we recommend the one component (1K), as the 2k, once activated, after 24-48 h can no longer be used.

Protective clear coats are divided into two main categories: one-component and two-component clear coat. The main difference lies in how they are hardened, in other words, in the way they will dry once applied on the paint. Single-component clear coats are ready to use, while two-component clear coats require for the base and a catalyst to be mixed before application.

One component clear coat
Composition : it has within the spray can/jar all the necessary components to form the film that will make the product dry.

Drying : it hardens simply by evaporation of the solvent.

Pro : it's easy to use, ideal for small car touch up jobs and the product that is not used can be preserved over time.

Cons : is less resistant to chemical and mechanical agents than bi-component clear coat, it last less and has a tendency to fade or yellow over the years.

Two component clear coat
Composition : It requires a special type of cans that has a container isolated inside the spray itself. Such container is filled with hardener and can be activated at the time of use. In the jar, the mixture of the two components is divided as follows: a base (pigments and resin) and a hardener (hardener).

Drying : It hardens through a chemical reaction between the two components and forms a very resistant film.

Pros : It is highly resistant to scratches, chemical agents and mechanical stress. It last longer, over time, then a 1K clear coat. It has a better aesthetic result on the car touch up job.

Cons : It is more expensive, because it requires special spray cans. It has longer drying times and the instruments used to paint, need to be cleaned thoroughly.

Finally, two-component clear coats are recommended for jobs that require high strength and that need to last a longer over time, while one-component clear coats are more suitable for quick and easy applications.
