is term comes from the English language and is not always correctly understood. .
His process is used in the lacquering repairs, and comes far from the past. But many professionals use it in the limited range (usually the transparent lacquer on the base lacquer). They prefer traditional methods, working with the primers they use “dry” matting or use water and abrasive paper.
In contrast, the “wet on wet” technique allows to accelerate the repair process, limit the consumption of lacquering materials and allows to obtain the lacquer coating thickness consistent with the values obtained by the automotive producers.
Application of primers in one process with the surface lacquers gives additionally better interlayer adherence. It is obtained by the mutual absorption of both materials. In one process the primer is applied, then (after the partial evaporation) the filling lacquer layer with appropriate viscosity.
It gives smooth and even coating. In the next stage the main technologies are used – 1K or 2K lacquering, and the process is accelerated by drying. Of course all those activities require special carefulness from the preparation stage. If in the final phase the small inclusions appear on the primer layer, they are removed by spot grinding with fine abrasive paper. The primers and lacquers are applied with the same spraying equipment – spray gun with nozzle for the surface layers.
What is important, the “wet on wet” technique may be used for both conventional and water-soluble lacquers.
The Profix brand has expanded its range with a new product – CP 3016S Hardener, designed for use with CP 2016 paint. This innovative solution has been developed for painters who face the challenges of high ambient temperatures on a daily basis.
For many drivers, a car is more than just a means of transport – it is a passion, a hobby, and often a source of pride and a personal calling card. No wonder, then, that every scratch, dent or chip can cause irritation.
How to shade car paint? This technique allows you to effectively repair minor paint damage without having to repaint the entire body panel. It creates a smooth transition between the new and old layers of paint.
