Starfire Urethane Basecoat Technical Information Guide

Our Starfire Urethane Basecoat is easy to use – in fact, you can apply with a variety of urethane clear coats to obtain the desired gloss and UV protection.

Substrates

Starfire Urethane Basecoat paints can be applied over properly prepared OEM finishes or previously painted surfaces: (these include enamel, urethane, and lacquer).

Fiberglass, plastics, body work, and bare metal may require the use of a primer.

Mixing Ratio

3 Parts Paint
1 Part Reducer

1. To mix this product, measure out the items into a mixing cup.
2. Mix only enough paint to spray at that time.
3. DO NOT mix all material at the same time.
4. Repeat process as needed.

Pot Life

• Temperature – 65-80 degrees
• Humidity – Less than 50%
