Gloss Level Adjustment/Matting

System information. Refer to → Chapter "Repair Paint System for Matte Painted Vehicles".

Technical application information. Refer to → Chapter "Matting Component -LVM 769 810 A2-".

Apart from color-dependent differences, the actual gloss level is influenced by different factors.

The addition of other hardeners not mentioned in these instructions is generally possible, but can result in different application types, drying conditions and layer thicknesses which leads to different gloss levels (up to 20%).

Higher Gloss Level	Lower Gloss Level
Shorter Hardener	Longer Hardener
Shorter Thinner	Longer Thinner
Higher Processing Viscosity	Lower Processing Viscosity
Higher Dry Layer Thickness	Lower Dry Layer Thickness
Shorter Ventilation Time	Longer Ventilation Time
Forced Drying	Air drying

Note

It is absolutely necessary to test on sheet metal in order to achieve the appropriate gloss level for the vehicle. Gloss level measurements (60 angle) at the adjacent parts can also be helpful.

Apply in two spray applications with a 5 to 10 minute intermediate ventilation time. The first spray application is applied lightly, but completely. (Follow the processing instructions).

The recommended dry layer thickness is between 60 and 80 mm.

Application Instructions

To achieve the best possible and homogenous mat effect pay attention to the following notes for the application:

Note

The spraying distance to the object is larger than the standard application, to use the full the atomization of the spray pattern. (To prevent streaking)

Pay attention that there is even overlap of the "spray passes" and that enough wet spray film is applied. There is a risk or cloudiness from too dry of application due to uneven drying or due to unabsorbed spray mist.

For less opaque colors, it may be necessary to apply another spray application after the corresponding ventilation time.

A touch-up/repair of the matted clear coat within the surface (for example, side part or clever repair) is not possible.

Drying

Gloss Level Adjustment of HS Clear Lacquer and HS Top Coat

Final drying time with forced drying is 15 to 20 minutes.

Gloss Level Adjustment of HS Clear Lacquer and HS Top Coat

Forced drying at +60 to 65 C (140 to 149F)object temperature is 45 minutes.

Note

The addition of Two-Part Elastic Additive -ALZ 011 001- is omitted.

Stir or shake the Matting Component -LVM 769 810 A2- in the can well. Mix with HS clear coat and HS top coat according to specification and infuse with hardener and thinner just before processing.

The processing of the ready-to spray mixture should immediately follow. If the mixture remains in the mixing- or spray gun receptacle for a longer period of time (15 minutes), it should be stirred again before continuing to use (separation).

The application of the Matting Component -LVM 769 810 A2- can influence the covering capacity.

Dust inclusions cannot be polish out, so therefore ensure that absolute cleanliness is maintained during the entire painting process.
