Project American Heroes Part 6 - The Big Top

HVLP gun pressure is set at 10 psi at the cap. Trigger pull is about 50-75 percent.

Used in both the base and clearcoats, the House of Kolor Kosmic Reducers allow for excellent spray-ability, good flow out and leveling, fast staged release, and retention of gloss when dry.

Stepping out of the paint booth, we find the Roadster Shop crew prepping the chassis for final paint.

Chad allows the first coat to flash, somewhere around 10 or 15 minutes, and then steps back into the booth for the second coat of base.

Sturges mixes up another batch of Majik Blue Pearl for the third coat of base.

Kosmic Polyurethane Klear UC-35 is used to topcoat the Shimrin basecoats. UC-35 features excellent gloss and what House of Kolor calls "Distinctness of Image."

The House of Kolor Shimrin Base will dry dull and should feel dry to the touch before the next coat is applied.

The third coat produces a deeper, slightly darker shade, which looks great already, even prior to the Klear.

KU150 Catalyst is poured into the UC-35. KU150 is a multi-purpose catalyst for urethane finishes. It is used in the KO-SEAL II Primer Sealers, UC35, and UFC35 Kosmic Klears.

The RU-311 reducer is mixed with the Kosmic Klear.

First coat Klear on the door produces a good measure of depth and gloss.

The second coat of the UC35 has been applied. The UC35 dries fast and hard and may be colored, sanded and buffed the next day.

There is significant increase of depth and gloss in the second coat of Klear as it is applied to the panels.

The first coat Klear UC-35 is sprayed on the fender. It has good chemical, fuel and water resistance, and excellent weathering and ultraviolet resistance.

Three coats of base and two coats of clear bring about a deep custom look. There's plenty more Majik Blue Pearl that needs to find a home on Project American Heroes before it debuts at SEMA.
