Mirror Reflective Kosmic Krome, MC-00 238ml House of Kolor

MIRROR REFLECTIVE EFFECT, KOSMIC KROME, MC-00

KOSMIC KROME® (MC SERIES)
‘Hard hitting metal look’
The Kosmic Krome effect has evolved from the development of revolutionary aluminum flake chemistry. The final result can be a beautiful and interesting finish that when combined with other HOK products transforms into an entirely different realm. Brushed aluminum effect can be applied to create a real metal finish – even on wood or plastic! Ideal for detailing of interior parts and available in 5 metal color effects.
• Finished Kosmic Krome surfaces must be clear coated – with either urethane enamel or acrylic lacquer
• Unlimited options when topcoated with Kandys for a anodized look

GENERAL INFORMATION In order for Kosmic Krome Mirror Reflective Effect Base to show the maximum effect, the substrate must be a fully dry, very smooth surface. The smoothness of the substrate will determine the appearance of the metal effect bases. Any scratch from sanding, wiping, or tacking will show through when MC00 is applied SUBSTRATE To get the maximum reflective effect, we recomment the MC00 be applied directly to a surface that has been color-sanded, polished, and cleaned with KC20 and a soft towel. This procedure is required for the complete visual effect of these products; however, ONLY in this situation do we recommend this process. It is known that this process will diminish the integrity of the system.

PREPARATION The Kosmic Krome Mirror Reflective Effect Base is provided ready to spray.

COMPONENTS Apply as little Kosmic Krome® Mirror Reflective Effect Base as is needed to achieve the desired effect. An example set up would be 1.3 fluid tip open 10-15% with a medium to fast transverse speed. Usually this will be 1-2 thin coats. Over application, including a “wet” type coat, will result in a total loss of effect. The reflective qualities of MC00 will not become visible until flash dry has occurred.

APPLYING KOSMIC KROME BASE (MC00) READY-FOR-USE MIXING RATIO DRY TIME Allow MC00 to dry for at least 12 hours at 70°F before applying House of Kolor Clearcoats. Up to 24 hour is OK; however, be careful to keep the job clean as aggressive tacking, wiping, or handling can ruin the finish by scratching or smudging the MC00.

FOR USA (National Rule Only):

TECHNICAL DATA US NATIONAL RULE ONLY • Substrates other than recommended will “absorb” the MC00 base and will produce a gray and inconsistent color. • Rough paper towels or solvent-based cleaners will cause issues for your MC00 project. • Open the tack cloth completely and air dry for at least an hour to reduce stickiness. A sticky residue has been known to cause issues with MC00 • Plan your artwork to apply this product last. This will maximize the “metal” effect. • Use of one coat of a water bourne clear prior to top coating will help prevent loss of chrome effect.
