Gloss Level Adjustment/Matting and Application Instructions

Note

Refer to "Gloss Level Adjustment" (5.75) and "Repair Paint Systems For Matte Painted Vehicles" (5.76).

Application Instructions

Note

• The addition of Elastic Additive -ALZ 011 001- is omitted.
• Stir or shake the Matting Component -LVM 769 810 A2- in the can well.
• With the two-part HS clear coat and two-part HS top coat, mix the Matting Component -LVM 769 810 A2- according to specification and infuse with hardener and thinner just before processing. The processing of the ready-to spray mixture should immediately follow. If the mixture remains in the mixing- or spray gun receptacle for a longer period of time (15 minutes), it should be stirred again before continuing to use (separation).
• Adding the matting compound can influence the covering capacity.
• It is absolutely necessary to test the respective mixture on sheet metal to achieve the appropriate gloss level for the vehicle. Gloss level measurements (60º angle) at adjacent parts can also be helpful.
• A touch-up/repair of the matted clear coat within the surface (for example, side part or clever repair) is not possible.
