About Eastwood Quarter Mile Candy Red 3:1 Single Stage Paint
SINGLE-STAGE PAINT MIXING RATIOS

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply single-stage urethane paints in two to three medium wet coats as necessary to
achieve sufficient coverage, allowing ten minute flash between coats. Additional coats
may be necessary to achieve total coverage for some metallic colors. A final “fog coat”
may be applied with metallic colors to help set an even flake pattern and /or adjust flake
orientation. A dry film thickness of approximately 2 mil is recommended. Paint should be
dust free within 10-15 minutes and tack-free within one hour (at 70 °F). Re-coat anytime
after the previous coat has flashed, or before 18 hours. After 18 hours, paint should be
abraded prior to re-coating for proper adhesion purposes.
This urethane paint may be applied as a stand-alone single-stage system, or in combination
with Eastwood’s High Solids Urethane Clear as a basecoat/clearcoat system. Additionally,
Urethane Clear may be integrated into Urethane color. When combining the two
systems, be sure to activate each side (the paint and the clear) separately, with their own
activators at the correct mix ratios, before blending.
When used as a Single-Stage Urethane Paint, this coating may be wet-sanded and polished
for increased depth and gloss like any other urethane topcoat. Care should be
taken when lightly cutting metallic colors to prevent disturbing aluminum flake.
