Don't overclean the surface. You should feel the surface change from smooth to tacky as you clean it. Once the feeling changes, it's sufficiently cleaned. Let the surface sit for 10 to 20 minutes to allow the solvents to escape. Don't force it to dry. Remove any dust or dirt with a clean, dry synthetic paintbrush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e Apply primer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eLK Primer can be applied with a soft brush, but the best way to apply it is with an airbrush with a tip size between 0.2 mm and 0.7 mm and an air pressure of between 25 and 35 psi. Spray the primer directly onto the surface from a distance of 3 to 5 inches with an airbrush, or 4 to 8 inches with a spray gun. Apply in even coats, working from left to right and top to bottom, overlapping each previous stroke to create medium-wet coats. Allow the primer to dry completely before applying the next coat. You can use a hairdryer to force it dry, but be sure to let the surface cool completely before proceeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e Processing time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Once the product is poured into an open-air container such as an airbrush cup or mixing cup, it begins curing.

Cleaning dried topcoats requires harsh solvents such as MEK or volatile paint strippers. Remove all traces of finisher from the airbrush or spray gun immediately after use to prevent the product from drying in the airbrush and causing a hard-to-remove clog!
