Using the Rattle Bomb Kit
1. Prep and Prime
Make sure all corners and edges are properly masked off. Some people start off by wet sanding at 400 grit, and end up finishing it at 600. After sanding, wipe the car down with wax and grease remover, and let it dry. This is done to ensure there is as little dust on the project as possible
Bare metal and plastic requires Primer. Use Self Etch Primer to "hide" the metal underneath, usually 1-2 coats. Then we recommend spraying a High Build Primer on top of the Self-Etch Primer. The High Build Primer needs to be sanded with 220-320 Grit Sandpaper.
Please Note, we have never had issues with customers just using Self Etch, and skipping the High Build Primer. This step is Recommended but so far our customers manage without it.
Then proceed with the process detailed below. No sanding is requires between these steps.
2. Basecoat Layer
You must use a basecoat before shooting the flake. We recommend 3 Coats of the Basecoat. Typically, wait 5-10 minutes between coats or until the coat is tacky. Once the basecoat is dry, it's time for the Flake.
3. Flake Layer
For best coverage we recommend spraying the Flake over a matching basecoat. Again,3 coats of Flake is recommend, waiting 5-10 minutes between coats or until the coat is tacky.
4. Apply your Kandy
Kandy is a Transparent layer of paint that goes over base coat/flake that adds depth and creates a more vivid paint job. Here we recommend 5 Coats of Kandy again waiting 5-10 minutes between coats or until the coat is tacky
5. Apply your Clearcoat
The clear-coat is a clear, shiny layer of paint that is applied over the Basecoat/Flake/Kandy. It protects the paint from UV and is necessary to make the paint shine. The basecoat/flake/kandy contain the color and the clear-coat brings them to life.
This is really as straightforward as it sounds. Metal flake and Pearl only pop when they are buried in clear-coat, so you need to spray an additional clear-coat over your product. Again, start at the top, and clear your work until all of the flakes are buried in clear.
If you wish, you can sand between layers of Clearcoat, if you notice imperfections in the clear coat layer. A week after the project has dried, you can use a buffing and polishing compound to smooth out other imperfections.
After you've sprayed your final clear-coat, let it tack until it gets stringy, then pull off the tape and masking. Be careful! If you let the clear-coat dry on the tape, sometimes it will take off chunks of paint with it when you finally pull it off. So, save yourself the headache and unmask it when the clear-coat is still relatively sticky.
