BASECOAT PAINT MIXING RATIOS Thoroughly mix four parts Low-VOC Urethane Basecoat with one part Low-VOC Urethane Activator. Use Fast (50308ZP) for small jobs, or temps below 75°F; Medium (50309ZP) for small jobs, or temps between 70-85°F; or Slow (50310ZP) for large jobs, or temps above 80°F. Keep in mind, other factors, such as humidity, air flow and total film thickness should also be considered. In many situations, it will be useful to add 10%-20% 50104ZP Zero-VOC Reducer to aid sprayabliity, flow and leveling. Remember, this is an activated basecoat system; only mix as much as is needed. Pot life is about 2 hours at 70°F.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Apply Low-VOC Urethane Basecoat color in two full medium wet coats with a consistent 50% overlap pattern. Allow five to ten minutes flash time between coats. Flash time should increase if additional coats are applied. Most colors will cover in two coats.
Basecoat should dry dust-free within 10-20 minutes. May be lightly sanded in as few as 20 minutes. Wait at least 30 minutes before wet sanding. Wait 45-90 minutes before taping on the fresh film. All dry times are approximate, at 70°. Temperature, air flow, total film thickness and other variable may extend these times.

Great coverage!The colors awesome! Not to bright or not to dark just a perfect red that looks sporty. Lays on great, almost looked like one coat of this does the job! But of course I did two coats to make sure I didn’t miss a spot ha. I did my whole Acura Rsx from exterior to door jams and hatch and still have 3/8 left. More then enough for the engine bay, etc. I would of used the clear coat from Eastwood but I had already purchased a different brand before discovering this website! Love the website and layout, easy to find what you need from a trusted brand. Anyways here’s some pics of the red, don’t judge tho! I still gotta color buff for that mirror finish since I’m a rookie still lol

Beautiful bright red, sprayed easy covered great.I ought this paint a couple of months ago for my first ever attempt at spraying a car. I've used all Eastwood products from the body work up. Everything worked great. i sprayed a sealer coat of grey epoxy primer thinned down about 20% with a reducer, let that flash and then sprayed the paint. I used boulevard black for the stripes.
If I sprayed this over the Candeez Silver Metallic base, would I get a metallic red finished look?
Asked by: Anthony
