Paint to be used (for each color): Metallic paint Hardener PB Thinner T-306 Mixture ratio: Main agent: Hardener =10 : 1 Viscosity: 10 - 13 sec./20°C (68°F) Film thickness: 15 - 20 μ Spraying pressure: 245 - 343 kPa (2.5 - 3.5 kgf/cm² , 36 - 50 psi)
7	Drying	Not required.	Dry at normal temperature [at least 10 min. at 20°C (68°F)]. In half-dried condition, avoid dust, dirt.
