Surface Preparation

Primed Surface: Acry Glo® should be applied to a surface that has been coated with an approved, properly prepared and applied Sherwin-Williams Aerospace primer system.

Refer to Sherwin-Williams Primer Product Data Sheets (Corrosion Primers CM0483660 and CM0724400 and Sanding Surfacers CM0482300, CM0560563 and CM0560566); training guides; and your Sherwin-Williams Representative for complete details.

Topcoat Surface: For best adhesion of trim colors to the cured urethane base coat, a thorough scuff sanding is recommended. Scuff sanding and cleaning will assure long-term durability and adhesion of the applied coating. Refer to Sherwin-Williams Topcoat Product Data Sheets, training guides, and your Sherwin-Williams Representative for complete details.

Mixing Instructions

Shake color component for 10-15 minutes before admixing.

Admix by Volume:
3 Parts Acry Glo Color (W- and T- Color Numbers)
1 Part Acry Glo Hardener CM0571081

Admixed product should be allowed a 15-minute induction time for optimum application performance.

Reduce to desired application viscosity with approximately 10-25% thinner.

When the relative humidity exceeds 65%, it is recommended to replace 25% of the thinner blend with urethane grade MEK (CM0110308).

It is recommended to strain admixed paint before placing material in containers for spraying.

Tape time can be accelerated by using up to four ounces per admixed gallon (120 mL per admixed 3.8 Liter) of CM0571082 Accelerator.

Application

This product can be applied using conventional air spray equipment, HVLP, Graco Pro 4500 air electrostatic, or Graco Pro 4500 air assisted airless electrostatic. Please consult your Sherwin-Williams representative for specific equipment settings.

1. Make sure pots, guns, and lines are purged and cleaned.
2. Mix thoroughly and filter strain before spray applying.
3. Spray atomizing pressure: 50-60 psi (3.45-4.15 bar)
   Pot pressure: 10-12 psi (0.69 – 0.83 bar) using a 60’ fluid hose (3/8” diameter)
   Delivery Rate: 8-10 fluid oz (236-295 mL) per minute
4. Always air-blow and tack-wipe the surfaces to be painted. Assure that the aircraft is properly grounded for potential static buildup.
5. Best application results are obtained by applying two medium wet coats, allowing a 5-10 minute “tack-off” period between coats.
6. If the dry time between coats exceeds 48 hours, the surface should be thoroughly abraded.
7. Recommended dry film thickness is 2-3 mils (50-75 microns). Some colors may require thicker films to achieve complete hiding.

Drying Schedule

Dry times are based on the dry film thickness of 2-3 mils (50-75 microns).

Air Dry Times (75°F / 25°C and 50% RH)
Dust Free: 20 minutes without accelerator/ 20 minutes with 4 oz./gal (120 mL /3.8 Liter) CM0571082 Accelerator
Dry to Handle: 3 hours without accelerator/ 1/2 hour with 4 oz./gal (120 mL /3.8 Liter) CM0571082 Accelerator
Tape Time: 10 hours without accelerator/2 hours with 4 oz./gal (120 mL /3.8 Liter) CM0571082 Accelerator

Recoat Time: (maximum) 48 Hours

NOTE: Lower temperatures, heavy film thickness, improper activator range selection and poor air movement will extend the dry time.

Equipment Cleanup: Use clean Ketone–type solvents such as CM0110308 MEK. Do not allow material to cure inside equipment.
