APL22301
APL22301 Liquid gold-leaf effect, gold
Solvent-borne metallic paint that stands in for real gilding: imitates leaf gold with a pearlescent sheen at a fraction of the cost. Contains no precious metals. Needs no gilding size or special varnish and covers solidly in one coat.
- Decorating wood, metal, PU foam (PPU), glass and other substrates
- Frames, carvings, mouldings, accent details on furniture
- Interior use only

Standard dilution per the dealer card. Both thinners are fast: S30 is general-purpose (PU, acrylic, PE, UV), S13 is meant for PE lacquers and stains.
Dealer labels the pair 'thinner for PE / thinner for PU'. Thinner purposes are from the S30/S13 cards on t-colormarket.ru.
- S10Thinner% by weight: 30 parts by weight %catalog
Recipe from the potal catalog (S10 fast, strong solvency).
Catalog and dealer disagree on the thinner code but agree on 30 pbw. Any of S10/S30/S13 works; in heat these fast thinners can dry-spray — go closer and wetter.

Application
HVLP
- Consumption
- 20–30dealer
Gun 15–20 cm off, 50 % overlap, steady pace — uneven passes give stripes and clouding in the metallic. Stir well before filling and swirl the cup while spraying (heavy settling).
Conventional spray
- Consumption
- 20–30dealer
Airmix (air-assisted airless)
Technocolor only mentions spray gun and brush; airmix is an engineering estimate for production lines — HVLP is better for small parts.
Brush
- Consumption
- 60–80dealer
Soft synthetic brush, thin coat laid in one direction, don't go back into it once it starts to set (touch dry in 5 min). Good for carvings and touch-ups.
Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- apply over a sanded, sealed, similar-coloured base (catalog: white PPS20 primer ×2 → PPL RAL enamel → APL potal → ATL500 gloss lacquer)schedule
- Goes over
- PPS20 / PPL RAL
- Goes under
- ATL500
- Sanding
- sand the enamel underneath (P320–P400) before potal; never sand the potal itselfrecommended
- Don'ts
- Don't spray it unstirred — the metallic settles fast
- Don't sand or polish the potal layer
- Not for exterior use
- Don't topcoat wet-on-wet — let it dry first
- Don't expect abrasion resistance on wear surfaces without lacquer

Safety: Contains organic solvents, flammable. Spray in a booth with extraction, wear an organic-vapour respirator (A2P2), gloves and goggles; keep away from ignition sources.

- No official t-color.ru page and no TDS/SDS PDF found (web search budget exhausted)
- Viscosity (part A and spray), density, gloss units not published
- Shelf life and storage temperature not published
- Thinner conflict: dealer S30/S13 vs catalog S10 (same 30 pbw)
- Full-dry conflict: dealer 1 h for APL2230x vs 12 h on older sister pages APL22157/APL23221
- Solids 23 % and touch-dry 5 min are series values from the catalog, not stated for APL22301 specifically
- Brush consumption for APL22301 not given (60–80 g/m² is from sister APL22157, whose page also says 60–80 g/m² for spray, conflicting with 20–30 g/m² here)
- Nozzle/pressure/spray viscosity entirely derived — no sourced spray settings
- Recommended topcoat lacquer per dealer is generic 'acrylic lacquer'; ATL500 comes from the special-effects schedule
- Dealer names for sister codes disagree with the potal catalog (APL22157 'белое серебро' at the dealer vs 'Платина' in the catalog; APL23221 'желтое золото' at the dealer vs 'Медное золото' in the catalog)
