If the existing finish is not compatible, 2K primer surfacer should be used as a sealing layer before applying the basecoat otherwise there may be problems such as lifting, peeling, blistering, flooding, etc. 2. At temperature over 30°Cor in high humidity, it is recommended to use MAX-3960 Retarder Solvent to avoid mottling. 3. Because of the high transparency of metallic basecoat, the primer surfacer should be in consistent color and flat without any sand scratches, seediness, or unevenness so as to prevent defects of mottling, poor metallic effect, etc. 4. To avoid problems of mottling or poor adhesion, the metallic paint film should not be thicker than 25um. 5. Better effect could be achieved if the extra silver powder could be removed with tack rag after the flash-off of every layer.
