Flattening Agent is designed to reduce the gloss of our acrylic lacquer and polyurethane enamel topcoats and clears. Flattening Agent will not effect adhesion or hardness. It is great for under carriages, frames and engine parts where high gloss is not desired, but a tough, durable finish is.
Shake or stir FA-01 to ensure a uniform blend. Add while stirring to your mixed topcoat or clear. A drill and a paint stirring attachment ensure a uniform blend.
NOTE: Each product will react differently to FA-01 based on the solid content of product used. Add additional reducer for proper sprayability. Amount of reducer is based on amount of FA-01 added. Guide 25% extra reducer based on amount of FA-01 added (example: 4 oz. of FA-01 - add 1 oz. of extra reducer).
NOTE: Large amounts of FA-01 (8 oz. or more per "ready to spray" mixed quart) can cause reduction of flexibility, which should be considered before applying to flexible substrates. Do not exceed 16 oz. of FA-01 per mixed quart. Adding more Flattening Agent beyond this point will have no effect on further gloss reduction.
Strain the paint into your paint gun. Use normal application methods based on the product you are spraying. Gloss reduction will begin as the paint dries. Dry overnight to show the true final level of gloss flattening.
NOTE: We recommend painting a test panel and allowing it to dry for 12 hours to determine the true final gloss flattening.
