DIY Step-by-Step Instructions for Application:

Before starting, ensure you have the necessary supplies: soap and water, sandpaper (400-800 grit for prep, 1200-2000 grit for wet sanding), wax and grease remover, masking tape and paper, primer (if repairing down to bare metal), clearcoat spray (optional for added protection and gloss), tack cloth, and polishing compound for finishing. For tri-stage paints, you will also need a compatible midcoat (pearl or mica) spray.

Part 1: Surface Preparation (30-60 minutes)

1. Clean the damaged area thoroughly with soap and water to remove dirt, wax, and debris. Rinse and dry completely.
2. Sand the scratch or chip lightly with 400-600 grit sandpaper to smooth edges and remove loose paint. For deeper damage, sand down to bare metal.
3. Wipe the area with wax and grease remover to eliminate any contaminants. Allow to dry.
4. Mask off surrounding areas with tape and paper to protect from overspray.
5. If bare metal or plastic is exposed, apply a thin coat of primer. Let it dry for 20-30 minutes, then wet sand with 800-1200 grit sandpaper for a smooth surface.

Part 2: Applying the Platinum Base Touch Up (30-40 minutes)

1. Shake the can vigorously for at least 1 minute to mix the contents. Continue shaking periodically during use.
2. Test spray on a scrap surface or test card to ensure proper flow and color match.
3. Hold the can 6-8 inches from the surface. Start spraying off the edge of the repair area and move in steady, overlapping passes (50% overlap) for even coverage.
4. Apply 2-3 light coats, allowing 15-30 minutes drying time between each. Avoid heavy coats to prevent runs.
5. After the final coat, let dry for at least 30 minutes. If using a midcoat for tri-stage finishes, proceed to that next; otherwise, you can finish here or optionally apply clearcoat.

Tri-Stage Paint Code Application Section

Many paint codes shades, such as Ford's White Platinum (UG code), are tri-stage (or tri-coat) paints, consisting of a base coat, a translucent midcoat (often pearl or mica for depth and shimmer), and an optional protective clearcoat. This section provides specific guidance for applying tri-stage paints using our Platinum Base Touch Up Spray as the base layer. Note: You will need a separate midcoat spray matched to your vehicle's paint code for accurate results.

Understanding Tri-Stage Paint:

• Base Coat: Provides the primary color and metallic flakes.
• Midcoat: A semi-transparent layer that adds effects like pearlescence or candy tint for depth.
• Clearcoat: Optional ? seals and protects, adding gloss and UV resistance.

Step-by-Step for Tri-Stage Application (After Base Coat):

1. After applying and drying the base coat (as in Part 2), use a tack cloth to remove any dust particles.
2. Shake the midcoat spray can well for 1 minute.
3. Test the midcoat on a scrap or test card over a sample of the base coat to verify the effect and coverage.
4. Apply the midcoat in 2-4 very light, even coats from 8-10 inches away, with 10-15 minutes drying time between coats. Build gradually to achieve the desired pearl or tint intensity without overloading ? too much can cause clouding or unevenness.
5. Monitor the color development; stop when it matches the surrounding paint. Allow the final midcoat to dry for 30-60 minutes. You can finish here or optionally apply clearcoat.
6. For blending into existing paint, feather the edges by spraying lighter towards the mask line.

Optional Part 3: Finishing with Clearcoat (30-45 minutes)

1. Use a tack cloth to remove any dust from the dried base or midcoat.
2. Shake clearcoat can well. Apply a light first coat, then 2-3 additional coats, drying 15-30 minutes between each. Do not exceed 4 coats.
3. Allow the repair to cure for 48 hours before wet sanding (2000 grit), polishing, or waxing for a factory-like shine.

Tips and Warnings:

• Always test color match on a hidden area or test card first.
• Work in a well-ventilated area; avoid inhaling fumes.
• For best results, apply in moderate temperatures and low humidity.
• If runs or imperfections occur, sand lightly after drying and reapply.
• This is a base coat ? optionally top with clearcoat for added UV protection and durability. For tri-stage, the midcoat is crucial for the full effect.
• Dispose of empty cans responsibly; do not puncture or incinerate.
