Sags in the paint

They are drained from the paint produced when it is applied on the instrument in a vertical position. And it can occur both in the background phase and in the finishing phase.

The reasons why it happens are the following:

  • Low application viscosity due to excess solvent.
  • Excess layer or product per hand.
  • Use of slow solvents.
  • Low room temperature.
  • Inadequate regulation of the application (low air pressure, excessive product flow and insufficient distance of application).
  • Inadequate flash-off time between coats.

Solutions to avoid it:

  • Increase the viscosity of the application, thinning the paint less.
  • Apply several thin coats.
  • Use of faster solvents.
  • Adjustment and regulation of the equipment (increase the air pressure, reduce product flow and increase the distance of application moving the gun away from the support).
  • Respect the evaporation time between coats indicated in the paint’s technical data sheet and in accordance with the application temperature.

Repair:

  • Sand the slack with P1200 sandpaper until the slack is eliminated
  • Sand the surface with P1500- P2000 progressively
  • Polish until the final shine is achieved.
