Application Instructions

Use Vinylkleen to thoroughly clean the surface that is to be re-coloured.

Vinylkleen will remove dirt, polish, wax, silicones and other surface contamination. Vinylkleen should be applied with a lint free cloth. Rub with 800 wet ‘n dry. Wipe any residual Vinylkleen with a lint free cloth and allow to dry.

Clean with Windowprep and allow to flash off. When removing previous surface coatings, please contact the manufacturer for advice.

Hypakolor can be applied by aerosol and with air or airless spray gun. Suction fed air operated spray guns should be used, at a pressure of approximately 20-30 p.s.i. using a 30 air cap and ex set up.

Always apply to a small test area in the normal way, ensuring the bond has occurred.

Hypakolor can then be applied using approximately two light coats, followed by a heavier coat. Allow 10 - 15 minutes flash off between coats. Remember that the main aim of these light coats is to form a bond. Do not try to cover with each coat or the bond may not take place.

Apply Hypakolor to the substrate until the surface has been evenly re-coloured and the desired thickness has been attained. For heavy use, up to 5 coats can be applied. Some colour changes may need an intermediate coat before the required colour is applied (i.e. red, orange and yellow) depending on the colour of the surface to be coloured.

Use sticky tape to help check this procedure. High humidity and damp conditions will affect drying times, cause poor adhesion and/or a blooming effect. Avoid application in such adverse conditions.

Full curing time is 24 hours at room temperature (16°C) or 50 minutes at 50°C Hypakolor will remain tacky for a short time when it has been exposed to 50°C but will dry off.
