Lechler HF516

Properties of Lechler HF516 Body Paint

The Hydrofan HF516 Basecoat is easy to apply and similar to traditional two-coat solvent-based enamels. The Hydrofan HF516 finish has an exceptional gloss and a high Theoretical coverage, allowing a high yield. Its excellent optical and mechanical performance also makes it an unalterable product over time. It guarantees easy retouching. In addition, its low VOC content helps to protect the environment.

Preparation of the HF516 base colour

Hydrofan HF516 Car Paint should be mixed by volume 1000 : 100 to 200 with Thinner :

• Standard Thinner HF900 (for application between 15 and 25°C).
• Slow Thinner HF920 (for application between 15 and 25°C).

Applying Lechler HF516 Car Paint

Lechler Hydrofan Paint can be applied with a conventional or HVLP spray gun (1.2 - 1.4 mm nozzle) between 15 and 35°C. In the case of metallic or pearlescent colours, it is advisable to apply a ½ coat at low pressure before the surface is matt to achieve the desired effect. For colours with little coverage, a second coat can be applied after the last even coat has completely mattened. The Matt basecoat Hydrofan HF516 is suitable for complete or partial paintwork of cars, motorbikes and commercial vehicles.

Application substrate for Lechler HF516 Body Paint

Before applying the colours, the substrate must be isolated with a water-thinnable or traditional solvent-based primer. It is then advisable to sand the surface with P400 dry or P800 wet, then degrease with Hydrocleaner slow 00665 or Hydrocleaner 00699. Old paint must also be sanded and degreased.
