Application of Sikkens Intense White Base MM098 :

Before applying to your car surface, remember to mix your colour several times to obtain optimum viscosity.

Production of opaque colours:

Apply two single coats or until the surface is completely covered. Remember to leave some evaporation time between your coats of paint, until the colour is completely matt.

Tech'team tips: For a wet-on-wet application, apply two thin layers.

Opaque, metallic and special-effect colours:

Spray a closed wet coat followed by a light wet coat. It is also advisable to wait until evaporation is complete until the paint is completely matt. Once the drying time has elapsed, apply a coat of haze in the recommended quantity.

Tech'team tip: For better placement, increase the distance to 30 cm.

Spot repairs:

Adjust your spray pressure and turn it down, then apply two thin layers until the surface is covered and dry to a matt appearance for each layer before going beyond the Blending areas. For pearlescent and metallic shades, it is strongly recommended to apply a placement veil.

Autowave system drying time :

Ambient humidity and air speed can affect the drying time of the paint system. This time can be reduced if you use a drying time accelerator at a minimum distance of 1 metre from the object to be painted.

Tech'team tip: When heat is used to dry your base, it is important to allow it to cool to room temperature before applying the tint or Clearcoat.
