HOK clear confusion

[Larry Massolia]

Hey Guys,

Great job on this board! It's nice to see people willing to help, without all the sarcastic remarks and flaming(sorry for the stupid pun) of the people posting. I do have 2 questions for you.

1. I'm spraying an entire car with HOK KBC04 Oriental Blue basecoat , followed by a dry pearl mixed in SG-100 ghost flame, a couple of coats UC-35 clear, wetsand, a couple more flowcoats with UFC-35. My question is...the KBC is supposed to be a bleeder... the tech sheet says it must be cleared with UC-35 clear, wait 12 hours, and sanded before artwork can be started. However, the tech sheet for the UC-35 says that no basecoats can be applied over a catalyzed finish. Can I spray the whole car with intercoat clear, sand, do the art work, then catalyzed clear, or will the KBC bleed through the intercoat clear, into the ghost flames?

2. Do I have to add flexible additive to any of these HOK products to paint the flexible urethane Ford bumper covers?

Thanks,

Larry

This is something Scott or EZRider need to answer for you,but EZ wont be back until Monday.PPg's Concept clears are flexible enough to not need flex additive on urethane bumpers,but I don't know HOK.One problem I always hated about flex agent is it changed the color,but it's been so long since I used it I don't know if they cured the problem or not.
