TUTTOCHROMAME™ VETRO TC40 Application Guide
Follow these steps for a flawless, transparent chrome finish:
1. Surface Preparation:
● Smooth It Out: For pitted surfaces, carefully sand and level using medium to coarse grit sandpaper (400-600) to maximize smoothness and flatness.
● Clean Thoroughly: Remove any contamination with SCUDOPICKLING 100AB solvent cleaner, especially for metal surfaces.
2. Primer Application:
● Mix it Right: Combine TUTTOPRIMER IC100B (100 parts) with TUTTOCATALYST IC80 (80 parts) at a 5:4 mix ratio.
● Spray Evenly: Apply using an HVLP spray gun (or standard spray gun) with a 1.2-1.3 mm nozzle at a nozzle pressure of 1.50 bar (21.75 psi).
● Shake Well First: Ensure both components are thoroughly mixed before use.
● Dry with Care:
○ Oven Cure: Bake at 60°-70°C for 70 minutes, then let it cool and rest for 30 minutes.
○ Air Dry: Allow to dry at ambient temperature (20-25°C) for 12-24 hours.
● Keep it Clean: Ensure drying occurs in a clean, dust-free environment. Avoid touching the coated surface during drying.
3. Chrome Application (VETRO TC40):
● Shake Vigorously: Thoroughly shake the 1K TUTTOCHROMAME VETRO TC40 well before pouring it into your HVLP spray gun.
● Spray with Precision: Use a 1-1.2/1.3 mm nozzle at a nozzle pressure of 1.50 bar (21.75 psi).
● Coat in Layers: Apply three even layers of TUTTOCHROME using overlapping, cross strokes until the surface is completely covered. A good technique is spraying from bottom to top, then across from left to right.
● Dry for Optimal Finish:
○ Oven Cure: Bake at 60°-70°C for 70 minutes.
○ Air Dry (Optimal): For the best results, allow to dry at ambient temperature for a full 24 hours. The longer the solvents evaporate, the higher the reflectivity (up to 90%-95% spherical reflectivity).
4. Top Coat Step:
● Mix the Clear Coat: Combine CLEARTOP MT300 (100 parts) with CLEARCATALYST MT934 (40 parts) at a 5:2 mix ratio using an HVLP spray gun (or standard spray gun) with a 1.2-1.3 mm nozzle at a nozzle pressure of 1.50 bar (21.75 psi).
● For Colored Finishes: If you desire a specific color, add CME Pigments to the mixed CLEARTOP MT300 and CLEARCATALYST MT934 according to the exact mixing percentages indicated on each CME Pigment bottle label.
● First Coat Drying: Let the first coat dry at 60°-70°C for 1 hour or at room temperature for 12-24 hours. After 3 hours, the product can be handled and packaged.
● Second Coat for Durability & Gloss: Always apply a second layer of the mixed CLEARTOP MT300 and CLEARCATALYST MT934 after any color coating. This ensures a high-quality, glossy, and long-lasting finish.
For a Matte Finish: Instead of CLEARTOP MT300 and CATALYST MT934, use CLEARTOP MT800 (Matte finish) and SCUDO 8 SC Anti-fouling according to their specific mixing instructions.
