2.8 VOC-Compliant

• Paint: The material that provides the color coat ona vehicle. Paint can be a solid color or contain special additives to produce pearl and metallic effects. In single stage paint systems, the paint layer provides gloss (shine) and durability (protection from damage due to debris, weather, chemicals, etc.).

• Primer: The foundation for a paint job. Primer’s principal function is to allow the paint to adhere to the vehicle body (OEM finish, bare steel, fiberglass, etc.). Primer also provides corrosion resistance, smoothes and fills surface imperfections, and adds flexibility to prevent paint cracking and “spidering.”

• Clearcoat: A protective layer that is applied over the paint. Clearcoat provides depth and gloss to the paint, and protects it from damage due to stones and debris, weather, chemicals, etc.

• Hardener: A chemical catalyst that allows urethane Paint, Primer, and Clearcoat to dry, or cure. Hardener is available in several formulas to ensure proper curing and/or reduce curing time at specific temperature ranges.

• Reducer: Also known as Thinner, Reducer allows you to adjust the consistency of paint and Clearcoat so it will flow through the spray gun and properly atomize for complete, even coverage on the vehicle. LikeActivator, Reducer is available in different formulas for use at specific temperature ranges.
