AWLCRAFT 2000 ACRYLIC URETHANE TOPCOAT - PART "B" ONLY Awlcraft 2000 is a two component, fast drying acrylic urethane coating with long lasting gloss and color retention. Provides an easy to apply, buffable finish. Spray application only. Do not use below the waterline. Awlcraft 2000 is also available in a range of metallic colors. Product is sold by the quart or gallon.

SPRAY: Mix by volume two parts of AWLCRAFT 2000 Topcoat Base Component with one part AWL-CAT#2/G3010 Spray Converter to a smooth, homogenous mixture. Reduce 25%-33% with the spray reducer appropriate for conditions. Overall mix is 2:1:3/4-1 by volume.

25% reduction is a standard mix. Clear coats, metallic colors, and painting in high temperature conditions may require additional reduction. 40% reduction is the maximum recommendation.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Best results are achieved when sprayed over properly prepared AWLGRIP® 545 Epoxy Primer. May be applied directly over some existing finishes. The existing finish must be sound, tightly adhered to the substrate, and chemically compatible with AWLCRAFT 2000.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS General: The primed surface must be clean and dry. Achieving maximum gloss and distinction of image requires the primer be smooth sanded with 320 grit paper before topcoat application. Using a contrasting mist coat of lacquer primer as a “guide coat” is recommended. Smooth sanding until all the “guide coat” is removed indicates a texture free surface. Three coats are recommended for spray applications.

Spray application: Apply a light, smooth, slightly wet tack coat to the surface. Allow tack coat to “flash off” 15- 45 minutes. Allow the second coat to “flash off” 30-45 minutes until only slightly tacky before applying the third coat. Coats two and three are not “full, wet” coats. The second coat is a slightly heavy tack coat with the third coat just wet enough to obtain full hide (opacity) or color coverage. More than 3 coats may be required to achieve full hide (opacity) or color coverage.

SPECIFICATION DATA

Type: Two Component Acrylic Urethane

Theoretical Coverage: Sq. Ft./Gallon; 573 Sq. Feet (53m2) at one mil dry (25 microns); 230 Sq. Feet (21m2) at recommended dry film thickness

Calculated for mixed base and converter, reduced 25%.

Coverage calculations are based on theoretical transfer efficiency of 100%. Actual coverage rate obtained will vary according to equipment choice, application techniques, part size, and application environment.

Recommended Wet Film Thickness: 6-9 mils (150-225 microns) total of 3 or more coats.

Recommended Dry Film Thickness: 2-3 mils (50-75 microns) total of 3 or more coats.

Anticipated Cure Time at 77°F, 50% R.H: 24 Hours to tape free; 3 days to light service; 14 days for full cure.

Recoatability: Typical spray applications consist of two to three coats applied over 1-4 hours. Exact time will vary with temperature, project size, and film thickness applied. AWLCRAFT 2000 topcoats which have been allowed to cure more than 24 hours must be sanded before recoating.
