GENFLASH DIRECTIONS Monocomponent synthetic laquer for opaque and metallic finishes. • 14,000 tinting formulas. • Easily used and economical. Time of preparation and sanding. reduced because of very high hiding power. • Yeilds a very high gloss with no polish. • Could be used on all cellulose and alkyd undercoats that are well prepared. • Use activator GF04 to decrease drying and hardening time. • Use for repairing of complete automobiles or parts as well as for trucks.

SPECIAL APPLICATION Preparation of the substrates GenFlash can be used on all ready and well prepared surfaces. GenFlash can be applied on most common primers, in particular alkyds, nitro synthetics and wash primers. Wet on wet GenFlash may be applied wet on wet on alkyd primers. This formula, particularly adapted to the painting of bargain cars, yields considerable time saving. Touch-up and decoration Wait 24 to 48 hours depending on tint and thickness. If activator 04 is used, the recovering of GenFlash is possible in the first 4 hours and beyond 16 hours. Presence of Silicones Use product 6386. One dosing cap per litre of concentrated tint to incorprate before dilution. N.B Activator 04 is added after 6386.
