Limco Supreme Basecoat is based upon a modified acrylic resin system that features high strength, fast hiding basecoat colors and a very durable clearcoat. This system can be used for the repair of original
basecoat/clearcoat finishes or for a complete paint job.
Follow the appropriate procedures in the “Standard Preparation” section.
Precoat:
Apply 1 or 2 coats of etch primer to all bare metal areas. Allow
sufficient flash time between coats. Do not sand. Allow to dry for
30 minutes before applying primer surfacer.

Clean area with pre-paint cleaner.
Limco 139 Final Wash
Apply 1 coat of LA1202 mixed 1:1 with LBR1370 over the area to
be blended, let that flash for 10 minutes.
Apply color as needed to achieve proper hiding, make sure to stay
inside the area with the LA1202 mixture on it.
Blend out color as needed into LA1202 mixture.
Allow 10 minutes flash before applying first coat of clear over
entire blend area.
Apply second wet coat of clear over the entire panel.

Flattening Agent
Description:
Limco LF10 is a flattening agent that may be added to Limco colors and Limco Clearcoats
for gloss reduction. Limco LF10 mixes easily and allows flattening to the extent desired.
Mixing:
Add 25% - 50% of LF10 to the catalyzed (paint and hardener, no reducer) Limco
mixture. Additional reduction is optional.
Ensure proper flash-off periods are observed when spraying flattened products to
prevent additional gloss.
Polishing finishes containing LF10 will cause gloss levels to increase.
Remarks:
DO NOT use LF10 in Limco Basecoat or Limco Supreme Basecoat.
Cannot be mixed with 3.5 VOC Limco presentations and be 3.5 VOC compliant.
RFU formulas for Limco Clearcoats are available.
