Crown Duco 2K Acrylic Enamel is mixed 4:1 by volume with Duco 2K Hardener, followed by 15% to 20% reduction with Duco 2K Acrylic Thinner to achieve spray viscosity of 16–18 seconds (Ford Cup 4). Pot life at 25°C is 4 to 6 hours.
In ambient temperatures above 25°C, use Duco 2K Acrylic Thinner (or standard thinner adjusted for temperature) rather than fast-drying thinners. Maintain a spray gun distance of 15–20 cm with 50% overlap and avoid spraying under direct sunlight.
Because 2K polyurethanes utilize polyisocyanate hardeners, spray applicators must wear an air-fed positive-pressure respirator mask, nitrile gloves, chemical splash goggles, and full hooded protective coveralls. Standard cartridge dust masks provide zero protection against isocyanates.
High-pressure wash undercarriages to remove mud, road film, and grease. Wire-brush loose rust to St 2 standards. Apply Crown Duco Chasis Black by brush or airless spray in 1–2 coats, providing a tough, water-repellent barrier resistant to gravel abrasion.
Yes, after thoroughly degreasing the metal and abrading with P80–P120 grit paper. For maximum corrosion protection in humid or coastal environments, apply an acid etch primer first, allow to dry completely, and sand lightly before body filler application.
