4. Applying the base coat First determine the color of the base repair-painting areas, and then shade
the peripheral areas. Do not apply a thick coat to the base. (12 – 15 µm)
Lightly apply one coat of paint to the areas which the mist of the base coat
(17130 colors) reach (shaded areas).
Promptly proceed to the next process within 2 to 3 minutes (before the paint
becomes touch-dry).
In some cases this process can be omitted.
[Paint blending]
Use the undiluted paint after filtering it. Return the unused paint to its
original container and store it.
If the area to be repair-painted is small, you can carry out shading more
easily by adding a further 10 to 20 % of thinner to reduce the viscosity and
also spraying at a lower air pressure.
Wait for about 7 minutes to allow the paint to set, and then apply clear paint.
