ChromaOne Acrylic Urethane Single-Stage

Blending

Panel repair is the approved procedure for single-stage warranty repairs. This allows the refinisher to attain the recommended film builds. If the refinisher chooses to blend, ChromaOne can be blended using any one of several methods:

• Apply 2-3 coats of color, extending each coat beyond the previous coats. Immediately following the last color coat, over-reduce the remaining color 200-300% with ChromaClear^® Blender 7601S. Apply light coats of the color/blender mixture at the color edge using 15 psi at the gun.
• The two-gun method can also be used. With color in one cup and color/blender mixture (color over-reduced with 200-300% ChromaClear^® Blender 7601S) in the second cup, apply the first coat of color; then, apply color/blender mixture at the color edge using 15 psi at the gun. Apply the second and third coats of color, and again, blend the edge of each coat with the color/blender mixture using 15 psi at the gun.
• Alternate Blending Technique: Mix ChromaClear^® Blender 7601S with ready-to-spray ChromaClear^® 7800S at 2:1 as a blender. Step out the ChromaOne^® color on the repair, and apply the above clear mixture on the edges. This is equally effective for both solid colors and metallics.
