PRODUCT DATA SHEET AWLCRAFT 2000 METALLICS Features & Uses AWLCRAFT® 2000 Metallics are mixed the same way as conventional AWLCRAFT 2000 topcoats. Through the use of flow stabilizers, metallic flake float has been drastically reduced, and color consistency is improved. These new formulas will allow applicators to quickly and easily apply metallics for a finish with outstanding color, brilliance and luster. AWLCRAFT 2000 metallic flakes are pre-mixed into the pigmented color base which is applied in the same way as conventional pigmented AWLCRAFT 2000 topcoats. Notes:- Metallic topcoats must be applied over the appropriate Awlgrip primer or Awlcraft 2000 topcoat that has cured 12-24 hours and has been sanded until all gloss is removed. - (Optional) Metallics may be clear coated when applied as a base coat/clear coat application. - For use on smaller areas ONLY (such as stripes or parts). For larger area applications, we recommend Awlcraft SE. Contact your Awlgrip Technical Sales Representative for additional information. Specification Data Type: Two Component Acrylic Urethane Metallic Color: See color card and/or your Awlmix distributor Packaging: Available in 1 Gallon and 1 Quart containers (EU: 1 Gallon containers only) Theoretical Coverage: Sq. Ft./Gallon 512 Sq. Feet (48m 2) at one mil dry (25 microns) 171-256 Sq. Feet (16-24m2) at recommended dry film thickness. Calculated for mixed base and converter, reduced 25%. Coverage calculations are based on theoretical transfer efficiency of 100%. Actual coverage rate obtained will vary according to equipment choice, application techniques, part size, and application environment. Recommended Wet Film Thickness: 6-9 mils (150-225 microns) total of 3 or more coats. Recommended Dry Film Thickness: 2-3 mils (50-75 microns) total of 3 or more coats. Anticipated Cure Time at 77°F, 50% R.H: 24 Hours to tape free; 3 days to light service; 14 days for full cure. Recoatability: Spray applications consist of 3 coats applied over 2-4 hours. Exact time will vary with temperature, project size, and film thickness applied. AWLCRAFT 2000 clear coat can be applied after 12 hours at 77°F (25°C) but before 24 hours of cure. The last coat of metallic should be dry to touch to prevent mottling of the metallic. If sanding is desired, apply 2 coats of AWLCRAFT 2000 Clear (F3029) and allow curing over night before sanding. AWLCRAFT 2000 Metallics which have been allowed to cure more than 24 hours must be sanded and recoated with AWLCRAFT 2000 Metallic before recoating with F3029 clear coat.
