#32 - DeBeer 5-099 Blending Agent
For the De Beer 500 BeeroBase System
When blending a silver or pearl colour through a blend panel, 5-099 can first be applied (before the colour application) to create a "soft surface" for the silver or pearl pigments to lay onto.
This softer surface or "wet bed" as it is sometimes called allows the colours pigments to blend/fade (sit) onto the surrounding or blend panel in a much more stable/uniform way.
*As opposed to not putting a wet bed down and then having to work harder to create a nice soft colour blend transition over the “very hard” OEM surface.
5-099 Blending Agent comes RFU (Ready for Use)
Prepare the blend panel:
- Degrease with 1-951 Silicone Remover.
- Abrade the surface with P800 or finer abrasive.
- Re-clean with 1-951.
- Shake the 5-099 well before use.
- Apply 1 x light/medium coat over the repair and blend area (with a 1.3-1.4 spraygun).
- Allow to flash.
- Apply the colour and blend out as normal.
