- Approximate coverage: 160 SQ FT
- Flake/Pearl Particle size: 10-60 microns
- Max Temperature: Paint will handle up to 300 degrees without delamination, but color shift may occur, so it should not be used in a high heat setting

Specifications
BASECOAT PAINT MIXING RATIOS
Thoroughly mix four parts Low-VOC Urethane Basecoat with one part Low-VOC Urethane Activator. Use Fast (50308ZP) for small jobs, or temps below 75°F; Medium (50309ZP) for small jobs, or temps between 70-85°F; or Slow (50310ZP) for large jobs, or temps above 80°F. Keep in mind, other factors, such as humidity, air flow and total film thickness should also be considered. In many situations, it will be useful to add 10%-20% 50104ZP Zero-VOC Reducer to aid sprayabliity, flow and leveling. Remember, this is an activated basecoat system; only mix as much as is needed. Pot life is about 2 hours at 70°F.
PAINT GUN SET-UP
HVLP Gun: Fluid Tip 1.2-1.4 mm Inlet Spray Pressure 8-10 psi
Conventional Gravity: Fluid Tip 1.2-1.5 mm Inlet Spray Pressure 40-50 psi
Conventional Siphon: Fluid Tip: 1.3-1.6 mm Inlet Spray Pressure 40-50 psi
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply Low-VOC Urethane Basecoat color in two full medium wet coats with a consistent 50% overlap pattern. Allow five to ten minutes flash time between coats. Flash time should increase if additional coats are applied. Most colors will cover in two coats. A third and final coat may be applied to set even metallic pattern. If required, apply this light coat immediately after the previous full wet coat, moving the gun with faster passes, from further away. Mist basecoat onto the wet film until the metallic pattern is uniform.
Basecoat should dry dust-free within 10-20 minutes. May be lightly sanded in as few as 20 minutes. Wait at least 30 minutes before wet sanding. Wait 45-90 minutes before taping on the fresh film. All dry times are approximate, at 70°. Temperature, air flow, total film thickness and other variable may extend these times.

Great paint at a great price
Painted a 73 Ford Van . Paint shoots nicely. I used 2 gallons to get full coverage. Sprayed using a sharpe fx300 hvlp (1.4 ) @ 29psi. Went on evenly and flowed nicely. I recommend and will purchase paints from Eastwood in the future.

Beautiful color
Painted my 71 Malibu Chevelle a year ago. Went on easy and looks fantastic. I used the show clear on it and buffed out nicely. I am happy and give this a 5 star. I get numerous compliments at car shows on my color.

WOW!!! LOOKS Amazing!!
The color and metallic is PERFECT!! I wanted to take an old boring black mustang and make it something special. The paint sprays and lays amazing. Match this with Eastwood clear and you have show car results.

Questions & Answers
I bought a concours pro gun item 14771 to spay this blue and premium show clear, my question is do I put in the screen in the gun that come with or leave it out, was wondering if I will have trouble either way in middle of spraying with or without it.
We usually recommend omitting the in-gun filter if you are spraying any metallics or primer. Any clears and solid colors you can certainly use those filters.

Can I use the premium grade clear with the sub zero blue base instead of useing the 50307zp , and what can I use for a white sealer under the basecoat
You can certainly topcoat with our Premium Show Clear over the Sub Zero Blue.
This paint needs to be applied over our Pure White base

Is this a similar match to 02c "world rally blue"?
Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to match or cross reference to any specific makes, models, years, codes, names, etc. Our colors are made for us and arrive pre packaged. We apologize for any inconvenience this creates.

This paint only comes in a gallon size

What if you paint it with a black base color?
Then you will drastically alter the appearance of the color and it will not appear as it does on the speed shape of this item on the product page.

can i mask off some of the pure white for white racing stripes?
Yes, you can certainly mask off the white for the racing strip look. Just follow the time frame for applying the masking tape.
Basecoat should dry dust-free within 10-20 minutes. May be lightly sanded in as few as
20 minutes. Wait at least 30 minutes before wet sanding. Wait 45-90 minutes before
taping on the fresh film. All dry times are approximate, at 70°. Temperature, air flow,
total film thickness and other variable may extend these times.

On a HVLP gun, this paint says "HVLP Gun: Fluid Tip 1.2-1.4 mm Inlet Spray Pressure 8-10 psi", is that supposed to mean tip pressure? If not, would the pressure be to low to atomize the paint if it was at the inlet? What should the tip pressure be?
The 8-10 psi. is measured at the cap. PSI needed at the gun handle would be 25-30 psi.
