Complete Urethane Candy Start to Finish Directions

UP-731/UP-732 2K Urethane Primer - Perfect Prime

Perfect Prime is designed as a component urethane primer that fills well and sands easily. It also gives excellent color holdout for all topcoats. UP-731/UP-732 is mixed at 4:1 with UPC-73 activator. When used as a sealer it is mixed at 4:1 plus 25% urethane reducer. These component primers may be used over old paint and body filler, as they are ideal for block sanding. If using on new bare metal, a steel conditioner (self etching Primer) should be applied before Primering. To tint the primer: Add up to one (1) ounce of activated ULTRA-GLO paint to each quart of PERFECT-PRIME 2K urethane primer (or four [4] ounces per gallon).


Pot life: is approximately two hours at 70°F, less for elevated temperatures. Caution: Mix only as much material as you will need to complete the immediate job.

Sealer: add 25% of the appropriate urethane reducer. (PC 80, PC 81, or PC 82)

Note: For bare metal application, use a bare metal conditioner (self etching primer) to strengthen adhesion. Dry times will vary depending on shop temperatures and dried film thickness. PERFECT-PRIME may be top-coated with Spectra Series or ULTRA-GLO acrylic urethane paint as soon as solvent has flashed out. If re-coating after 24 hours, primer surface must first be sanded with 400 grit or finer sandpaper.


SPECTRA SERIES Urethane Candy Color System
 

Put down either ULTRA-GLO acrylic urethane paint, or UCB01 Quicksilver as a Base. SPECTRA Series candy colors may be applied over acrylic urethane anytime after final coat has flashed, but before 24 hours, without sanding. After 24 hours, base color must be scuff sanded prior to top coating.
APPLICATION:
When applying UCB01 Quicksilver Base, apply two (2) or three (3) medium coats. An extra coat
may be fogged as necessary to set even metallic pattern. Allow 15 to 25 minutes for flash time
between coats. Once base has flashed, apply candy color in medium wet coats as necessary to
achieve desired shade.

CUSTOMIZATION TIPS:
While infinite variations are possible with the SPECTRA Series, we offer these few tips to demonstrate several basic methods to spark your imagination and get you on the way toward creating your own unique, one-of-a-kind finish. Mix and match multiple candy colors to create custom shade variations. Blend one or more candy colors with UCB01 Quicksilver Base to tint the metallic base. Blend one or more candy colors with V2020 Vision Clear to create a more subtle hint of color. Apply multiple coats of urethane clear between the base and candy to increase “float” effect. Apply custom art between the base and candy color for a shadow effect. Shift from one base color to another, then top with one uniform candy color for unique fade. Use factory-pack ULTRA-GLO acrylic urethane paints for different base color effects. Because the entire SPECTRA Series was designed on a common urethane platform, all of its parts (base, candy and clear) are completely interchangeable and use the same activator.

Dry times may vary slightly depending on shop temperatures and dried film thickness. SPECTRA Series candy colors and UCB01 Quicksilver Base may be re-coated after final coat has flashed but before 24 hours without sanding first. After 24 hours, these products must be sanded prior to re-coating. Wait 24 hours at 70F) before sanding to remove any
Contaminants or imperfections in the finish.
 

Pot life: is approximately two hours at 70°F, less for elevated temperatures. Caution: Mix only as much material as you will need to complete the immediate job.

Note: SPECTRA SERIES Candy colors will become increasingly darker
with each additional coat applied. By adjusting the number of coats, it is possible to change the
shade of your final finish to appear lighter or darker than the color chip.
