Surface preparation

Surface preparation is very important for good paint adhesion. To begin with, clean the surface, then degrease it with a clean, suitable cloth. Make any necessary repairs and then sand the surface to smooth everything out. Remove any sanding residue with compressed air. Finish by reapplying Degreaser to the areas that will receive the paint to ensure there is no more dust.

Application of Cromax Matt basecoat AM11

Apply two coats of Paint with 1-2 minutes Flash-off between layers. Wait until the surface is matt and uniform before applying the next coat. Centari MasterTint basecoats must be sprayed with a conventional spray gun or a high transfer efficiency spray gun (HVLP/HTE).

Finishing for Cromax AM11 Paint

To achieve a quality result, it is vital to apply a professional Clearcoat finish. It should be applied when the base is completely matt.

Please note: All these systems are compatible with all original finishes and Refinish primers.
