PREPARATION:
Do not apply if surface temperature is below 45ºF (7ºC) or above 110ºF (43ºC), or if the surface temperature is within 5ºF of the dew point. At a minimum, the surface should be clean of all grease, dirt, oil, rust, and foreign material which would be detrimental to proper adhesion and desired performance of the coating system being applied.
Clean off any loose debris, grease, oil, gasoline, rust, or dirt from surface. KBS Klean is the ideal surface prep. Sand with 240 grit as needed.
Please be sure after you rinse the surface with KBS Klean that the surface to be coated/primer is 100% dry.
DIRECTIONS
In a mixing cup/container, carefully measure 4 parts base. Add 1 part activator. Mix thoroughly. Although KBS 2K DTM Build Primer is ready to spray, you can thin 10% with KBS #1 Thinner if needed.
FOLLOW ALL CAUTION & WARNING NOTICES WHEN SPRAYING. ALWAYS WEAR AN AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR: NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor particulate respirator.
Spray pressure of 35-45 psi for siphon/pot guns and 25-40psi for gravity/top container guns. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend a 1.7-2.0 tip size. Thinning is not generally required but if needed 10% with KBS #1 Thinner is normally adequate.
The pot life of KBS 2K DTM Build Primer is 20-40 minutes once mixed together.
2 coats of KBS 2K DTM Build Primer are typically required for most applications. Apply the next coat when the first coat dulls which is normally 5-10 minutes.
Allow 1-2 hours or longer for KBS 2K DTM Build Primer to cure before sanding. If you sandpaper gums up, wait longer before sanding.
CLEAN UP
KBS #1 Thinner or lacquer thinner for cleanup. KBS 2K DTM Build Primer must be cleaned up immediately before it dries. Wear protective gloves to avoid skin contact.
