Eastwood Auto-Air Paint Kits • Eastwood Stencils

Base Coat Sealer Dark and White - Use as initial layer of Auto Air Colors over prepared surface. Suitable for use as a replacement of urethane or epoxy sealer except over bare, untreated metal. May be applied direct to urethane, enamel, lacquer and other finishes after scuffing with 800 grit wet/dry paper or coarser grade of abrasive. Scuffing Base Coat prior to application of color is not required. Use of Base Coat Sealer may be omitted when using existing finish for a color-keyed base (example, 4500 Series Hot Rod Sparkle Color over a black urethane finish) or when using a similar 4200 Series Semi-Opaque Colors such as 4220 Deep Black. Tinting 4001 Base Coat Sealer with top-coat color improves coverage of top-coat color. This is especially beneficial when working with red, yellow and orange colors and transparent colors such as the 4500 Series Sparklescent Mango and Tequila Yellow. Tinting Base Coat Sealer White with 4205 Semi-Opaque Flame Orange will create a pastel-like orange base color which the Sparklescent Mango will cover quicker with less material required for the Mango's finish.

Transparent Base - Use as base for mixing with 4600 Series Candy Colors and as mid-coat. Prior to clearing, use as a filling, mid-coat (intercoat) over other colors as fill coat over large pigments and flakes for more even paint film, especially prior to clearing 4500 Series and 4400 Series Colors.

Medium Reducer - Use to thin colors for improved flow, leveling and spray-ability with a slight acceleration in drying time. For airbrush usage, 4010 Flash Reducer aids with control and preventing over-spray when using smaller tip sizes at lower PSI settings for cleaner lines for detailed work.

Fast Reducer - Use to thin colors for improved flow, leveling and spray-ability with an acceleration in drying time. For airbrush usage, 4011 Flash Reducer aids with control and preventing over-spray when using smaller tip sizes at lower PSI settings for cleaner lines for detailed work.

Restorer - Removes Auto Air Colors or dissolves cured and uncured water-based paints. Makes for easy clean-up and complete removal of Auto Air Colors for cured finishes (prior to clear) and dried paint in spray guns and airbrushes.

4500 Series Sparklescent Colors Product Information

Concentrated dye-based translucent color for true candy effects. Reduce 1:1 with 4004 Transparent Base for large panels. Candy Colors blemish easily. Avoid direct contact, even after curing. Use urethane mid-coat prior to taping or masking. After curing, colors dry to a matte finish. Candy effects not visible until clear applied. Due to Candy Colors limited lightfastness use clears that feature maximum UV protection for best results.
