The National Rule and SCAQMD Rule 1151 both make distinctions between base coat and mid coat application. The VOC calculations are different depending on which application procedure is chosen. It is important to know whether the system you are using is classified as base coat/clear coat or as a mid coat/multistage system.

All Shimrin Base coats may be applied as either a base coat or mid coat. Shimrin Base coats include the following codes: BC, FBC, NE, PBC, PC, SG, MB, KBC, and KF.

Kosmic Kolor Urethane Kandys and Solid Color Base coats may also be applied as a base coat or mid coat, their codes are: UK, UB, and UFB.

BASE COAT APPLICATION

Applying the above products directly over the sealer, KO-SEAL II (KS-10, KS-11, KS-12, KS-210, KS-211, KS-212) will classify the products as basecoats. The VOC limit for base coat/clear coat application would apply. Refer to KO-SEAL II Color Reference Chart to choose the right sealer color for your application.

Example: Primer KP-21, KS-10 Sealer, Shimrin Base coat, Clear coat
base coat / clear coat

MID COAT APPLICATION

Applying the above products over BC-25, BC-26, OR ANY Shimrin Base coat will classify the products as a mid coat. This would apply whether or not a sealer was used.

The VOC limit for mid coat/multistage application would apply.

Example: Primer KP-21, KS-10 Sealer, BC-26, Shimrin Base coat, Clear coat
base coat / mid coat / clear coat
