Imron recoat question ...

[N1265]

Hi guys,

My brother is working on a boat and I want to double check if anybody here has any experiance in spraying imron 5.0 and imron 500-s clear.

Here is the deal, The tech manual is a little fuzzy on when / how to apply the 500-s clear over a metallic color. It says to " re-coat over an overnight dry" The question is, do you have to sand the color before applying the clear ? Or can you spray the color, let it sit for 12 hrs and then spray the clear without re sanding it ? he is hesitant on re sanding it because he doesnt want to disturb the metallic flakes.

Many thanks for your help.

RE: recoat

If you re-coat within 24 hours, your don't have to sand. If you have any repairs to do, ie., fix runs, stuck flies, fix them, then shoot the clear.

RE: recoat

sounds great....

Also , ( just because I am wondering )..... have you ever had any problems clearing over Pin striping ? anything to watch out for when doing it ? Also when Fixing a defect, Can you use an artist brush to dab on some color
( without the additive ) and then clear over top of it without it lifting or causing any problems ?

Many thanks....

RE: recoat

I don't think you can repair with out using the "mixed' color, but yes, you can just do a dab with the artist brush, then shoot the clear. I think that the ease of repairs, is why they went to clear coating. Its real easy to get a good job, with a uniform gloss.

RE: recoat

sounds great, He has a spot where some dirt got on the finish and when it was sanded out it left a spot the size of a pencil lead where you can see the primer,

so we'll just dab it and then clear it.

Many thanks for the info.

Do not spray over a pin stripe... Paint the line in and spray it yes... but dont spray over striping its self, the base will not get sealed properly and it will bite you later...
