- Gun distance

- Gun setup
- fan open, needle ~2 turns, 50–75 % overlap, 10–13 CFMrecommended
On verticals lay one full wet pass — the thixotropy holds it, but don't go past 150 g/m². Stir well before filling the cup (dealer: 'mix thoroughly before use').
Conventional spray

- Pressure · air
- 3–4 barrecommended
- Spray viscosity

Conventional air spray is the universal, most common method (Technocolor methods page); transfer efficiency up to 40 %.

Technocolor methods page: airmix (fluid up to 20 bar, air 1–2 bar) is better suited to topcoats than airless.
Airless
- Nozzle
- 0.33–0.38 mm (= 13–15 thou)recommended
- Pressure · fluid
- 120–160 barrecommended
Not recommended for the topcoat: coarser atomisation, orange peel and overbuild on verticals.
Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- White PU primer (PPS50/PPS20/PPS50277) sanded P320–P400, de-dusted, free of silicone, oil and wax. MDF edges and resinous woods get an isolating primer first.recommended
- Sanding
- Primer P320–P400; between coats P400–P600; leave the final coat as sprayed.recommended
- Temperature and humidity
- 18–25 °C, RH 50–70 %. Above ~25 °C use S70 instead of S50.recommended
- Don'ts
- No hardener other than PC60
- Don't eyeball the hardener — weigh it (100 : 50)
- Don't spray the mix past 4 h
- Don't exceed 150 g/m² per pass
- Don't polish the final 40-gloss coat
- Not for exterior work
