PREPARATION:
Read
all instructions before you begin! Poor preparation can cause serious
problems with the finished product. SPEND MORE TIME NOW, RATHER THAN A
LOT MORE LATER.
• Before sanding, wipe down entire surface with 3837( ) SEM SOLVE or 38381 WORLD CLASS™ LOW VOC
SURFACE CLEANER.
• All areas that require body filler, putties or fiberglass resins must be topcoated with ML010 METALOCK DTM HIGH
BUILD
PRIMER, TP00( ) TRU PRIME TINTABLE or TP01( ) TRU PRIME GRAY. All
finish sanding should be completed with 400-500 grit sand paper
(preferably wet).
• Some base/candy colors are susceptible to bleed through or staining. Before applying any base/candy
combination, a tinted sealer should be applied to seal the area and to assist in the coverage of base colors.
See Sealer Tint Guide on page 2 for assistance on transparent colors.
• Any existing paint job over 6-8 mils should be sanded or stripped. Paint failure can occur from excessive film build.
