From primer fillers and primers to base coats and top coats
1K or 2K products - even large parts can be painted
without any problems, you just have to follow a few tips
Our application technician has these hints and tips when using SprayMax aerosols:
- The perfect preparation
As with spray painting, the preparation of the substrate is crucial. Surfaces to be painted must be clean, dry and free of grease. Ralf Ertle emphasises: "Even though there is less overspray with spray can painting: Everything that is not to be painted must be covered with tape and paper."
- Shaken, not stirred
To ensure the best possible application of the material from the can, the spray can must be shaken before use. Ertle elaborates, "After the substrate has been prepared in the usual way, the spray can must be shaken thoroughly for about two minutes after the mixing ball has been struck." This ensures that the product in the can is optimally mixed and the paint application appears even.
- Test spray
In contrast to the spray gun, where the optimum distance to the object is defined when painting, it is worthwhile to test-spray on a practice area when spray-can painting: "This way, the painter can see how the spray jet comes out of the can and spreads over the surface and, above all, what distance he has to keep from the object," explains Ertle.
- Thin coats in a criss-cross pattern
When painting, the spray can should always be held vertically. The spray pass starts outside the object. "It is best to spray several thin coats in a criss-cross pattern, first vertically, then horizontally. Wait two to three minutes in between," the expert recommends. The ideal working temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius.
- 2K paints from the spray can
How do 2-component spray paints work? With the SprayMax products from Kwasny, hardener is in a separate cartridge inside the can. By pressing a special attachment firmly onto the bottom of the can, the inner sleeve is pushed through. "This allows the hardener and active ingredient in the can to come into contact," Ertle points out.
Trainings
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
SprayMax offers specialist companies a modular, graduated introduction to the topic of paint repair. Depending on the personnel situation, the workplaces available or to be set up and the customer structure, the scope of paint repair can be selected by the company and the user. The seminars and practical training courses support the entry into or expansion of this business field through accompanying courses and applications. The interested party can choose between different course contents, scope and duration.
Technical Centre
In the technical centre, which was specially developed and built for customer training, the participants learn about the different course contents in small groups in a relaxed atmosphere, depending on the training chosen. The participants are trained in both theory and practice by experienced staff. Interesting discussions and starting points often arise. Certainly, however, one or the other "secret tip" is exchanged at each course, to the benefit of all.
The current training topics
Objective
The objective of the intensive training is to learn and train the application of the SprayMax system and to enable the participants to repair classic spot repair damage after this training.
