This premium urethane basecoat delivers excellent depth, brilliant metallic effect with a smooth, shimmering flip under light, and strong UV resistance for a durable, showroom-quality finish that lasts.

Key Features & Technical Data

• Exact OEM color match to factory WA636R (also referred to as Switchblade Silver Metallic, Switchblade Silver, or similar metallic silver codes in GM systems)
• Premium automotive urethane basecoat – sprays evenly with outstanding coverage (typically 2–3 medium coatsfor full hide)
• High-quality metallic flakes create vibrant pop, subtle sparkle, and elegant flip under different lighting
• Requires 2K clearcoat (not included unless kit or Gloss Touch Spray Can is selected) for gloss, durability, and UV protection
• Backed by precise color-matching data for superior accuracy
• Mix Ratio (Unreduced): 1:1 basecoat to urethane reducer (by volume) – use medium/fast/slow reducer depending on temperature/humidity
• Viscosity (Ready to Spray): Typically 13–15 seconds in a #4 Zahn cup
• Coverage: Approximately 250–300 sq ft per gallon (ready-to-spray) at 0.4–0.8 mil dry film thickness – excellent hiding
• Flash Times: 5–10 minutes between coats; 20–45 minutes before clearcoat (at 70°F – adjust for conditions)
• Pot Life: Indefinite if unreduced and sealed; reduced material ~2–4 hours
• Recommended Dry Film Thickness: 0.4–0.8 mil per coat (total basecoat 1–2 mil)

Unreduced vs. Ready to Spray – What's the Difference?

• Ready to Spray (RTS): Pre-thinned in the can – simply shake/stir and spray. Ideal for fast, small jobs (sprayable volume = purchased amount).
• Unreduced: Concentrated basecoat – mix yourself (usually 1:1 with reducer). Higher paint solids per container = better yield and maximum control over thinning.
