Application method

Over a clean frame, prepared and sanded with abrasive sheet 500.

The three steps are applied successively, without waiting more than 30min between each :

1 - Apply the black base paint in a few fine coats successively.

2 – Apply the Candy undercoat (Bright Aluminum BC1) in fine passes, repeat until the black background is covered

3 – Apply the Candy varnish in a steady and careful manner. Wait 5-10 minutes between each coat in order to avoid drips. You get a touch dry in 40 minutes, and a complete curing process in only 2 hours. The mixing is usable for 20 min.

What is the resistance ?

It is not necessary to varnish afterwards.

The Candy colors are UV resistant, and the UHS WetSpeed varnish is high solid and ultra resistant.

You intend to varnish more to reinforce the glossiness ? Find here our varnishes in can or in spraycan.

Why not to exceed the 30 min limit between each step ?

If you exceed the limit, the adhesion is no more garanteed.

In case you wish to apply stickers, you have to let it dry, then sand with an abrasive sponge.

Do i need a primer ?

If the frame is not smooth or is in raw carbon or in raw metal, you will then need to apply a primer.
