Sherwin-Williams CM0571098 AcryGlo® Conventional Coarse Aluminum Basecoat (Metallic) - Gallon

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 Metallic Color (H- Color Numbers)
1/2 Part Acry Glo Hardener CM0571081
1/2 Part Acry Glo Stabilizer CM0571085

* The stabilizer additive reduces mottling effect by setting the aluminum particle in the coating as it is applied.

To speed up tape time, use up to 4 ounces per admixed gallon (120 mL per admixed 3.8 Liter) of CM0571082 Accelerator. If clearcoating is expected to occur after 12 hours, do not accelerate. Extended times before clearcoat may create intercoat adhesion problems.

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

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

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 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 30-45 minute “tack-off” period between coats.
6. Recommended dry film thickness is 2-3 mils (50-75 microns). Some colors may require thicker films to achieve complete hiding.
7. Acry Glo Basecoat Metallics must be recoated with Acry Glo Clearcoat CM0571080. Refer to the Acry Glo Clearcoat Product Information Sheet for mixing and application procedures.

Drying Schedule

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

Clearcoat Time
Minimum 4-6 hours/Maximum 24 hours Without Accelerator
Minimum 1-2 Hours/Maximum 24 hours with 4 oz./gal (120 mL /3.8 Liter) CM0571082 Accelerator

Recoat Time: (maximum) 24 Hours

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

NOTE: Abrading metallic basecoats is not recommended, therefore it is imperative that clearcoating occurs within the 1-24 hour window.

Equipment Cleanup

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

Shelf Life

Shelf Life is applicable only for materials stored in unopened and undamaged original factory filled containers.

Minimum Storage Temp: 40ºF / 4ºC
Maximum Storage Temp: 100ºF / 37ºC
