Auxiliary products 

In the practice of spray painting and for the mixing of bodywork paints, certain products are needed to adjust the viscosity, to polymerize and clean the bodywork paints.

These are mainly thinner and hardeners, for each type of paints, primers, topcoats or lacquers.

Products for bodywork paints

These products are technical products and often reserved for professionals as they can be harmful or flammable.

It is important to carefully study the safety data sheet for bodywork paint products, and to respect the type (HS or UHS for example), the mixing rate (expressed as volume or weight) and the velocity

Degreasers

Essential for dissolving and removing fat, glues and silicone, degreasers are often solvents containing heavy hydrocarbons, which are used in the preparation phase before painting.

Thinners

Thinners are all solvents that dissolve resins and help thinning paints and topcoats. They also help to thin the paints and lower the viscosity of products that are too viscous to flow through a spray nozzle.

Hardeners and catalysts

There are a variety of hardeners and catalysts slow, fast, for primers, for topcoats, etc. They are used mainly for two-component lacquers and topcoats: they are reagents which harden the resins that make up the resins. Drying is done without air or heat, by chemical reaction.
