Use this step-by-step tutorial to achieve the best possible repair with your Rotaris paint repair kit.

 

1. Preparation

• Clean the surface by removing any dust, grease, oil and dirt. Any residual grease will prevent proper adhesion of the paint to the frame.
• Wipe the surface dry with a cloth.

2. Base coat

• Shake the bottle well for 1 minute, hard enough to hear the metal ball rattling.
• Practice your technique by first applying paint to a piece of scrap material. Keep in mind less is more. Multiple thin layers create a better end result than a single thick layer. Avoid creating brush strokes.
• Apply an evenly thin layer of paint.
• Leave the paint to dry for 30 minutes.
• Apply a 2nd evenly thin layer of paint.
• Leave the paint to dry for 2 hours.

Some special paints are developed in 2 colour layers. In this case you have been provided with 2 different bottles of colour paint, indicating layer 1 and layer 2. Leave 30 minutes of drying time between applying each layer.

3. Clear coat

• Shake the bottle well for 1 min. Apply an evenly thin layer of clear coat finish.
• Leave the frame to dry for 48 hours.
