Spraying your ready-to-use paint

• The Standoblue paint system allows you to save a lot of product and energy because you spray your base with the method of 1 wet coat of paint + 1 placement coat
• The first coat is a closed coat that must reach coverage between 70 and 80%.
• For the placement coat, also called half coat, step back so that your spraying distance is longer than for the first full coat.
• Overlap passes in the still wet film of your first coat. This coat allows proper placement of metal particles and ensures correct tint placement.
• Choose a paint gun with an HVLP cap and a 1.2 or 1.3 nozzle according to the recommendations of the paint gun manufacturer you select.
• We recommend the satajet X5500 HVLP 1.2 nozzle ref 166364 or the Devilbiss DVI
