AutoBorne Sealer 6000-series
The Auto-Air AutoBorne Sealers line of ground coat products is ideal for starting any paint job intended for either large panels or automobiles. They may be applied directly to the majority of plastics and substrates, as well as wood, aluminum, and urethane, and they boast an impressive rate of adhesion. Furthermore, they may be applied on surfaces that have already been treated by other kinds of primers, such as bare metal that has had etch-primer paint physically bonded to it beforehand.
When an Auto-Air AutoBorne colored sealer is applied, it only requires two full days to complete its curing process because of its water-based nature. Starting from merely thirty minutes after the initial application, the sealer can be shaved by using sandpaper that measures at least 1000 grit in its fineness, as well as taped on and degreased.
The applied sealer ideally ought to be allowed two full days to cure before it would be covered by solvent paint, though such paint can be used much earlier to top-coat the sealer if the sealer is sanded or has degreaser wiped across it. However, if the paint variety belongs to Createx Colors, it can be applied directly onto the sealer shortly after its initial application without the need for prior degreasing or sandpaper work.
Because AutoBorne Sealer can be used to color-key colors, not as much material needs to be covered by additional applications of Auto-Air Colors-brand coats, which in turn leads the coats to dry faster.
The best method of applying AutoBorne Sealer is to use a spray gun with a tip listed as between 1.2 and 1.4 millimeters and a listed PSI rating between 25 and 30. When using a device with a smaller tip like a mini-gun, use the 4012 Auto Air High Performance Reducer to achieve a reduction for the sake of maintaining ideal flow and properly atomizing.To achieve metallic hiding and an even orientation, you can apply aluminum base colors in the 4100 series and metallic and pearlized colors of base coats in the 4300 series. You can use these same colors in the 4300 series to color-key the colored sealer so as to minimize the need to have multiple layers of coating in order to saturate the color. Having coats covering each other typically causes uneven build-up of metallic or pearlized powder that tends to result in visually-discernible lumps; color-keying can help create a uniform finish because of how it reduces the volume of metallic substance or pearlescent powder necessary to cover what is needed.
