Alclad Stainless Steel ALC115 30ml

The color

Alclad Stainless Steel, with the manufacturer's part number ALC115, belongs to the Alclad II metallic range. It imitates the cool shine of stainless steel, shifted slightly toward gray. It serves wherever bare metal is meant to show: on exhaust systems, on the hot parts of engine cowlings, on barrels and on the parts that are left unpainted on the real subject.

Preparing the base

Metallic shades forgive nothing. Every scratch, fingerprint or trace of sanding dust is emphasized under the thin metallic film instead of disappearing. So smooth, wash and degrease the surface before application and touch it as little as possible afterwards. Which base is suitable for this shade, and what it is thinned with and in what ratio, is stated by the manufacturer on the packaging.

Application and further work

Apply the shade in several light coats and let them set between one another, because one heavy coat suppresses the metallic look. A dried metallic surface is sensitive to touch and to masking tape, so before applying the tape, peel it off and stick it again on the back of your hand so that it loses some of its tack. If you are about to clear coat or tint the surface, try the procedure on an offcut first.
