TECHNICAL DATA & APPLICATION GUIDE

SUBSTRATES

• Direct to bare metal*
• Galvanized* and aluminum*
• SMC
• Lightly abraded @-coat
• Prepared OEM paint surfaces
• Fiberglass
• Properly prepared bumper covers

TOOLS REQUIRED

• System 20 UP2012/UP2022 Solvent Based Degreaser or UP2002 Water Based Degreaser
• 180-240 Grit Sandpaper

SUBSTRATE PREPERATION

• For best results, ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, dried and dust free.
• For optimum results on bare metal, galvanized steel & aluminum surfaces, apply after sanding with 180-240 grit sandpaper, 1-2 light even coats of ACID#8 and allow 30 minutes drying time before applying GUARD#10. **It is not recommended to use GUARD#10 with thermoplastic acrylics.

MIXING

• Share aerosol can for at least 2 minutes before use.

COATS

• 1-2 coats at a distance of approximately 10-15” from the surface, applying more than 2 coats increases dry time.
• Build/mMIL : 2 MIL
• Coverage: approximately 43.1 square feet

FLASH-OFF / Min @ 68° F

• Between coats, 10-15 minutes

DRYING TIMES

• Dust free @ 68° F/ min : 3-4 hours

OVER PAINTING

• GUARD#10 may be over-painted with most paint systems. 2K acrylic paints can be over-painted once dry. For best results and optimum gloss, it is recommended to prime or seal before topcoating.

SHELF LIFE

• 2 years subject to proper storage conditions
• Aerosol cans should be stored for two hours at room temperature before use. For long term storage, keep in a dry well ventilated area and away from direct sunlight and frost. To clear the nozzle and maximize the lifespan of your aerosol, always invert the can and spray upside down for a few seconds after each use. Should the nozzle become blocked, remove it from the can and soak it in gentle thinners.
• Recommended Storage Temperature 41°F - 77°F
• Recommended Application Temperature 68°F
