Quick guide – processing in 6 steps

  1. Preparation: Thoroughly degrease and dust-free the surface; suitable for metal and suitable plastics (e.g., ABS, PC).

  4. Fixing: Apply 1K binder thinly and evenly; stabilizes the effect layer.
  5. Clear coat: Apply 2K clear coat (high gloss) in 1-2 coats to ensure full coverage; avoid runs.
  6. Drying & QS: Allow to fully cure; visual/adhesion inspection, document parameters.
