Recommended Steps for Application |
|
 |
1. Disassemble model
completely, be certain to remove all parts that will not accept at least 175 degree
temperature.
2. Thoroughly
clean all parts to be sprayed, using any type of
household cleanser or cleaner such as Dawn™ detergent or any type of degreasing type
cleaner. Clean and rinse with extremely hot water. Oven dry or air-dry all parts.
3. If brushing, no thinning is required. If
spraying, the recommended air pressure is 18 to 25 psi.
4. Using Scalecoat
thinner, thin paint to
at least a 2 to 1 ratio (amount of thinner can vary with color. Some thicker pigments,
reds & oranges in particular, may require slightly more thinner. 2 parts paint to 1
part thinner is a good general starting point.) Test spray on the inside of the model
before application.
5. Apply the paint with even stokes at a distance of about 6 inches away from the model.
6. Preheat your
oven to 175 degrees. The model should be
"baked" for approximately 2 hours. Better adhesion of the paint will result if
the model is oven or heat dried. (A hand held hair dryer will work fine for this.)
7. If more than one color is
to be applied, oven dry at least 20 minutes between colors.
8. Because of the
high gloss finish of Scalecoat it will accept decals without
any other preparation.
9. To protect the finish and hide any decal film, use
Scalecoat Gloss or Flat Finish, they are compatible, and we recommend a 2/3 gloss to 1/3
flat mixture to achieve a nice satin finish. Whatever finish you choose, use Scalecoat
thinner, and mix at a ratio of at least 1 part overspray to 1 part thinner.
10. Application of
Scalecoat II is
identical to Scalecoat I with the exception of the "baking" process.
