System information. Refer to
→ Chapter „Repair Paint System for Matte Painted Vehicles“. |
Technical application information. Refer to
→ Chapter „Matting Component -LVM 769 810 A2-“. |
Apart from color-dependent differences, the actual gloss
level is influenced by different factors. |
The addition of other hardeners not mentioned in these
instructions is generally possible, but can result in different
application types, drying conditions and layer thicknesses which
leads to different gloss levels (up to 20%). |

to achieve the appropriate gloss level for the vehicle. Gloss
level measurements (60° angle) at the adjacent parts can also be
helpful. |

Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information):
“Compliant” 1.3 to 1.4 mm. |
– |
Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): “HVLP”
1.3 to 1.4 mm. |
– |
Set spray pressure (see manufacturer's information):
“Compliant” to 2.0 to 2.5 bar. |
– |
Set atomizing pressure (see manufacturer's information):
“HVLP” 0.7 bar. |
|
|
|
– |
Apply in two spray applications with a 5 to 10 minute
intermediate ventilation time. The first spray application is
applied lightly, but completely. (Follow the processing
instructions). |
The recommended dry layer thickness is between 60 and 80 µm. |
To achieve the best possible and homogenous mat effect pay
attention to the following notes for the application: |
Note
The spraying distance to the object is larger than the
standard application, to use the full the atomization of the
spray pattern. (To prevent streaking) |
Pay attention that there is even overlap of the “spray
passes” and that enough wet spray film is applied. There is a
risk or cloudiness from too dry of application due to uneven
drying or due to unabsorbed spray mist. |
For less opaque colors, it may be necessary to apply another
spray application after the corresponding ventilation time. |
A touch-up/repair of the matted clear coat within the
surface (for example, side part or clever repair) is not
possible. |
|
|
|
– |
Final drying time with forced drying is 15 to 20 minutes. |
|
|
|
– |
Forced drying at +60 to 65 °C (140° to 149°F)object
temperature is 45 minutes. |
Note
The addition of Two-Part Elastic Additive -ALZ 011 001- is
omitted. |
Stir or shake the Matting Component -LVM 769 810 A2- in the
can well. Mix with HS clear coat and HS top coat according to
specification and infuse with hardener and thinner just before
processing. |
The processing of the ready-to spray mixture should
immediately follow. If the mixture remains in the mixing- or
spray gun receptacle for a longer period of time (15 minutes),
it should be stirred again before continuing to use
(separation). |
The application of the Matting Component -LVM 769 810 A2-
can influence the covering capacity. |
Dust inclusions cannot be polish out, so therefore ensure
that absolute cleanliness is maintained during the entire
painting process. |
