MIXING RATIOS
Thoroughly mix three parts single-stage urethane paint with one part 21856ZP Activator - 3:1 mix ratio. No additional reduction is required. Use caution in mixing materials as Eastwood’s single-stage urethane paint may begin to gel after approximately two hours (at 70 °F). A Fish-Eye Eliminator designed for use in urethane products may be added, but only if fisheyes are found to be present. Follow additive manufacturer’s instructions for specific mixing instructions.

SPRAY GUN SETUP

Type of gun:	HVLP	Conventional Gravity	Conventional Siphon
Fluid tip:	1.2—1.4 mm	1.2—1.5 mm	1.2—1.6 mm
Spray pressure:	8-10 psi	45-50 psi	40-50 psi

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply single-stage urethane paints in two to three medium wet coats as necessary to achieve sufficient coverage, allowing ten minute flash between coats. Additional coats may be necessary to achieve total coverage for some metallic colors. A final “fog coat” may be applied with metallic colors to help set an even flake pattern and /or adjust flake orientation. A dry film thickness of approximately 2 mil is recommended. Paint should be dust free within 10-15 minutes and tack-free within one hour (at 70 °F). Recoat anytime after the previous coat has flashed, or before 18 hours. After 18 hours, paint should be abraded prior to recoating for proper adhesion purposes.

This urethane paint may be applied as a stand-along single-stage system, or in combination with Eastwood’s High Solids Urethane Clear as a basecoat/clearcoat system. Additionally, Urethane Clear may be integrated into Urethane color. When combining the two systems, be sure to activate each side (the paint and the clear) separately, with their own activators at the correct mix ratios, before blending.

When used as a Single-Stage Urethane Paint, this coating may be wet-sanded and polished for increased depth and gloss like any other urethane topcoat. Care should be taken when lightly cutting metallic colors to prevent disturbing aluminum flake. Please read product label for safety precautions

Candeez Candy Paints

The Candeez can be applied over any of the Eastwood Urethane finishes, but for the most dramatic finishes, apply over Eastwood's Silver-Metallic bases (51549ZP & 51678ZP). To ensure maximum intercoat adhesion use Candeez in conjunction with Eastwood's 2K Urethane Primer, Paints and European Clear Coats. Candeez quarts mix 4:1 and must be activated with 21854Z 4:1 activator.

Pot life 2 hours at 70°F
(significantly shorter at higher temperatures and humid conditions)
Gun tip size
- HVLP: 1.2mm - 1.4mm
- Conventional: 1.4mm - 1.6mm
Mix 4:1 by volume
Flash dry 15-20 minutes between coats

No reduction is necessary, but reduction with Eastwood's zero VOC reducer 50104ZP may improve leveling and flow. By adjusting the number of coats (normally 3-5) it is possible to achieve different and darker shades. A standard-sized passenger vehicle we suggest four quarts candy plus four half pints activator (that's five quarts sprayable material) and larger vehicles will require more. Candeez may be clear coated after final coat has flashed 15-20 minutes and before 18 hrs have passed. After 18 hrs, abrade with 800 grit to promote adhesion.
