Sherwin-Williams CM0840513 Jet Glo® Express Chevron White Polyester Urethane - Gallon

Primed Surface
Jet Glo Express™ 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 Corrosion Primer and Sanding Surfacer Product Data Sheets data sheets or contact your Sherwin-Williams Representative for complete details.

Topcoat Surface

For best adhesion to trim colors or repairs, the Jet Glo Express surface should be thoroughly abraded (no gloss) with 240 or 320 grit sandpaper and/or red abrasive pads once it is cured (dry-totape) and sandable.

Mixing Instructions (4 Part Mix)

Shake color component for 10-15 minutes before admixing.

Admix by Volume:
2 Parts Jet Glo Express™ Color (Y- and Z- Intermix Color Numbers)
1 Part Jet Glo Express™ Hardener CM0840081
1 Part Jet Glo Express™ Activator*
% Part Jet Glo Express™ Reducer

Note: The fourth component solvent addition is required to reduce to acceptable spraying viscosity and pot life.

Add the Hardener and Activator into the Base Component.

Admixed product should be allowed a 30-minute induction time for optimum application performance.

Special Hiding Coat Mixing

Establish that the final color requires the high hide system by prespraying Black and White coupons for acceptable opacity & color match to customer’s specifications before the aircraft repaint.

In order to improve opacity for weak hiding strong organic (Z) colors, the following system may be used to achieve full opacity in 2-4 coats. This system should be used in color matching in order to minimize possible color discrepancies.

Hiding coat mixing (by Volume):
ZXXXXX (Final Color) 1 Part
CM0840103 Matterhorn White 1 Part

This hiding coat color is mixed at the following ratio: 2:1:1:1/2

Apply one closed film coat of the hiding coat. Allow 30-45 minutes to dry followed by two to three medium wet coats of the true topcoat color. Allow 30–45 minutes between coats.

Note: Activator choice, high / low temperatures, air flow, & AC skin temperature will influence intercoat overcoating times.

Touch test: Touch a suitably masked but painted area, Express is ready to recoat when it will not readily transfer to a gloved hand.

Application

This product can be applied using conventional airspray, HVLP, electrostatic airspray or air assisted airless equipment. 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. Equipment Settings (i.e. Conventional settings):
   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

Always air-blow and tack-wipe the surfaces to be painted. Electrostatic users: Ensure that the aircraft is properly grounded for potential static buildup.

Best application results are obtained by applying two medium wet coats, allowing a 30-45 minute “tack-off” period between coats.

Once dry to tape, it is recommended that the surface should be thoroughly abraded with 240 or 320 grit sandpaper and/or red abrasive pads.

Recommended dry film thickness is 2-3 mils (50-75 microns).

Note: Certain colors may require thicker films to achieve complete hiding.

NOTE: Application of these product systems requires recommended temperature / humidity conditions and film thickness ranges. The material, hangar, and aircraft skin temperature should be no lower than 55ºF / 13ºC before, during, and after application.

Drying Schedule

Dry times are based on the dry film thickness of 2-3 mils (50-75 microns) and mixed according to the activator instructions identified above.

Air Dry Times (75°F / 25°C and 50% RH):
Tack Free: 3-4 hours
To Tape: 6-8 Hours

Recoat Time: 24 Hours maximum

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.

Shelf Life

Three year 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
