  1. Select hardener and reducer that suit the temperature of the workshop and the size of the object/vehicle to be painted (see temperature table).
  2. Mask panels/surfaces that will not be painted.
  3. Recommendation for overall resprays: Harmonize overlapping area with Glasurit 352-500 Spot Blender.

REPAIR
