NEW! SG150 Intercoat Pearl & Flake Karrier

SG150 Intercoat Pearl & Flake Karrier is an innovative mid-coat material designed specifically for use with Pearls, Flakes, and other dry products offered in the House Of Kolor product line. SG150 features advanced chemistry that encapsulates pearl and flake particles, causing them to self-orient and "lock" in place. This action will vastly improve spray characteristics and finish quality. SG150 dries to a very clear, high quality finish, but is only intended for use as an intercoat. Available in one quart cans.

Features and Benefits:

  • Greatly reduces or eliminates settling of pearls and flakes in the spray gun
  • Locks dry particles into place so they won't move when top-coated
  • Dries crystal clear and allows the brilliance of the pearls and flakes to shine through

Intercoat Clear (SG100)

USE ONLY WHEN TOP COATING WITH URETHANE ENAMEL

SG100 Intercoat Clear is designed for use as a protective clear for artwork tape-outs on Shimrin® Basecoats - it prevents permanent tape markings and protects metallic surfaces when artwork is planned. SG100 Intercoat Clear may be used to blend Shimrin® Pearl and Metallic Basecoats and to mix Pearl and Kandy Koncentrates. This product is also a good choice to reduce Shimrin® Basecoats for touch-ups and blends.

MUST BE TOP COATED WITH UC1, UFC1, UFC19, UFC35 OR UC35

MIX RATIO 2:1 - 2 PARTS INTERCOAT CLEAR/ 1 PART RU REDUCER

Urethane Reducers (RU)

Urethane Reducers can be used to reduce all Kosmic System products: Kandys, Clears, and all Shimrin.

Intensifier™ Kandy Koncentrate (KK)

Use to enrich any of our Kosmic Kolor Urethane Enamel Kandys or Kustom Kolor® Acrylic Lacquer Kandys. Our intensifiers reduce the number of coats required to color match an exterior finish. Works great on door jambs, under the hood and in trunk areas. Is also great for small parts, and motorcycles, when time is a factor. Can also be used with SG-100 or our lacquer clears for multi-colored artwork.
