• Theoretical coverage is approximately 11 meter square coverage( without loss by over spray)
• Hardener 279. Mix ratios 10:1 or 4:1 (all mixes are on the tin and TDS.) It’s important that the correct amount is put in as this will affect the drying time & adhesion
• Once mixed it has a pot life of 8hrs ( when paint and hardener are mixed together)
• First coat will be the coat that you will see, so care is required. If any marks appear, the profile must be cleaned off straight away and started again. After about hour of drying, the coating will be very hard to remove, and you will probably end up damaging the glass

• Will flash off in around 2-3 minutes. Next coat can be applied.
• It can cure from 8-10 degrees and above. At 20% it will be 70% cured in about an hour and will be dry enough to handle
• Can be left to chemically cure for 24hrs.
• Must not be subject to sub-zero temperatures before it has a chance to cure, as it will go brittle and not cure properly
• Nozzle 1.4 -1.8mm ( depending on finish)
• Tin sizes, 1,3 & 5 litre
• We recommend low iron optiwhite glass
• With colour matching we work to tight tolerances
• We also offer other glass finished such as, metallic, sparkle, rainbow sparkle, crackle effect, mirror, frosted, translucent & metallic sparkle.

Metal & Plastic

• 2K application – spray gun application
• No baking required

Metal & PVCu surfaces

• 2K application (polyurethane/acrylic combination) – spray gun/brush application
• High solid top coat
• No primer required will go straight on, unless its aluminium or galvanised
• 2250/AK primer can be used in general, as this will prolong paint life
• Is supplied un-thinned
• Thinners need to be added when spraying
• Tops coats can be applied wet on wet
• Good weathering characteristic’s and good resistance to chemicals
• Chemical reaction with the substrate
• 50 microns dry film thickness
• Can be supplied in satin 60% gloss or gloss 90%
• If the surface is damaged or likely to get damaged/flaking a primer would be recommended, as over time water can get underneath and will cause flaking
• Hardener 279. 4:1 mix ratio
• Pot life approx. 8 hrs ( once paint & hardener are mixed together)
• If the surface is PVCU it must be thoroughly pre cleaned using 153b& 154 cleaner. If its aluminium, galvanised or steel, scotch first then clean with U cleaner. If it’s onto old coats of paint, sand off and clean with 154.
• Spray area must remain at a temperature of 18-20 ° C to ensure no adhesion problems and workable dying times
• Tack dry after 30 minutes.
• Theoretical coverage is approximately 8.5m2 without loss of spraying (including the hardener & thinner). 5m2 if brushing
• Spray, brush or roll (brushes out well). Hardener can act as a thinner when brush/roller applied.
• To be thinned with 550 for brush or roller application. Up to 5% if brushing, but it can be brushed in its original viscosity and simply add the hardener.
• Nozzle size 2-2.2mm
• Tin sizes 1,3 & 5 kilos
• We match our colours to 0.5 of a DE
• Further technical support available on line and by phone/email
• Free colour matching service

Clear Coat Sparkle & GP Backing Coat

• Remove filter from spray gun as this will affect your finish. Separate gun to only be used for sparkle coatings.
• Spray gun used for sparkles to be cleaned in a separate area – do not use standard cleaning system as you will get contamination.
• Spray booth area to be cleaned after sparkle applications to stop contamination where the sparkle flex contains silicone.
• Ensure glass is thoroughly cleaned and de greased
• Apply 2 x full coats in opposite directions to achieve our standard sparkle finish
• Allow coat to dry for approximately 15-20 minutes. If you require a non-standard sparkle finish then further coats can be applied.
• One you have achieved the level of sparkle required apply 1 x medium coat of AVKOTE GP Full Colour
• BACKING COLOUR will flash off in around 2-3 minutes. Next coat can be applied
• IMPORTANT AVKOTE GP Sparkles contain silicone. You must add 1% contrasil to the AVKOTE GP full colour prior to application on top of the sparkle so that the coating does not pin hole
• IMPORTANT Contrasil does not need to be added to the GP full colour if the customer is using the AVKO Silver Sparkle. This is not a flex it’s a pigment (LE93 metallic)
• AVKO Silver Sparkle and the Rainbow Sparkle are ordered as a standard mix. All other sparkles can be ordered in either a solid or scattered application
• 2K application
• Chemical reaction with the substrate
• Good weathering characteristics and resistance to chemicals
• Saves on drying time – quick and cost effective
• No baking required
• No primer required
• Ready to spray ( need to mix hardener in & 1% contrasil where required)
• Spray gun application
• Theoretical coverage is approximately 11 meter sq ( without loss by over spray)
• Hardener 279 . Mix ratio is 10:1 for the backing colour & 4:1 for the sparkle clear coat (all mixes are on the tin and TDS.) It’s important that the correct amount is put in as this will affect the drying time & adhesion
• Once open. Pot life of 8hrs ( when paint and hardener are mixed together)
• Nozzle 1.4 -1.8mm ( depending on finish)
• Tin sizes, 1,3 & 5 litre
• When colour matching we work to tight tolerances
