| The Aqua Premium system is an innovative waterborne base
coat system. All solid and effect colours for passenger car
refinishing can be mixed from this system. |
| Very reliable results thanks to uniform effect formation |
| Easy and reliable blending |
| Versatile in use (interior, multi-stage and multi-colour
finishes) |
| Surfaces coated with primer or surfacer (2-pack HS surfacer) |
| For plastic surfaces: adhesion promoter (transparent) -ALO
822 000 10- + 2-pack HS surfacer (elasticised) |
| For plastic surfaces, substrates isolated with 2-pack primer
surfacer for plastics -LKF 696 009 A2-/-LKF 696 040 A2- |
| See special notes

|
|
|
| – |
Thoroughly clean factory paint, old paint or 2-pack HS
surfacer with silicone remover -LVM 020 000 A5- or slow-drying
silicone remover -LVM 020 100 A5-. |
|
|
|
| – |
Dry sand using orbital sander with P500 to P600-grain
sandpaper and dust collector. |
|
|
|
| – |
Or lightly “wet” sand using P800 to P1000-grain sandpaper. |
|
|
|
| – |
Before recoating, use a suitable cleaning agent to ensure a
clean surface free of residues. |
| – |
Wipe off any excess silicone remover with a lint-free cloth,
leaving no streaks. |
| Areas sanded to bare metal must be isolated with 1-pack wash
primer -LVM 044 007 A2-/-LVM 044 171 A2-. Bare metal spots must
not be larger than 5.0 cm in diameter. |
| If 2-pack HS surfacer is used, bare metal spots must be
isolated with 2-pack wash primer -LHV 043 000 A2- or 1-pack wash
primer -LVM 044 007 A2-/-LVM 044 171 A2-. |
| Application for standard applications |
| Plastic containers or tinplate containers with inner coating |
| Waterborne base coats are to be filtered through waterproof
125 μm quick sieves before application by means of cup systems. |
| (at normal or high temperatures and low humidity depending
on size of object) |
| Additive for Aqua premium -LVM 035 200 A3- |
| Additive for Aqua premium -LVM 035 301 A3- |
| Use standard Aqua Premium measuring stick. |
Note
| The mixture must be applied within 24 hours after the
additive has been added. |
|
|
|
| Method of application: “spray”. |
|
|
|
| – |
The application viscosity at +20 °C is the “compliant” and
“HVLP” mixing viscosity. |
|
|
|
| – |
For solid colours, add 10% additive for Aqua Premium -LVM
035 200 A3/LVM 035 301 A3- at +20 °C material temperature. |
| – |
For metallic or pearlescent colours, add 20% additive for
Aqua Premium -LVM 035 200 A3/LVM 035 301 A3- at +20 °C material
temperature. |
|
|
|
| – |
Adjust spray nozzle following manufacturer's instructions to
1.2-1.3 mm for “compliancy”. |
| – |
Adjust spray nozzle following manufacturer's instructions to
1.3 mm for “HVLP”. |
| – |
Adjust spray pressure following manufacturer's instructions
to 2.0 bar for “compliancy”. |
| – |
Adjust atomising pressure following manufacturer's
instructions to 0.7 bar for “HVLP”. |
|
|
|
| – |
One application consists of one-and-a-half spray coats.
Apply one normal spray coat followed by a “finish or effect
coat”. |
Note
| If the paint colour does not hide well, it may be necessary
to apply an additional “wet-on-wet” spray coat after an
appropriate flash-off time. |
|
|
|
| Continue the flash-off time until the entire surface is matt
before applying clear coat. |
| Recommended coat thicknesses: |
| Metallic colours: 10-15 µm |
| Pearlescent colours: 15-20 µm |
| Ways to reduce flash-off times for small areas: |
| Surface matting can be accelerated by blowing on it with an
air diffuser (hand-held or stationary device). |
| It is also possible to blow on it with the spray gun after
waiting at least 5 minutes. |
| Ways to reduce flash-off times for large areas: |
|
|
|
| Surface matting can be accelerated by using stationary air
diffusing units (e.g. ceiling system), infrared drying or low
baking. |
| Application of 3-stage colours and multi-colour finishes |
| Aqua Premium hardener -LVM 045 000 A1- |
| (at high temperatures and low humidity) |
| Additive for Aqua premium -LVM 035 301 A3- |
| Use the Aqua Premium measuring stick for three-stage
colours. |
Note
| The mixture must be applied within 24 hours after the
additive has been added. |
| Solid colours: 90-120 minutes at +20 °C ambient temperature. |
| Effect colour: 45-60 minutes at +20 °C ambient temperature. |
|
|
|
| Method of application: “spray”. |
|
|
|
| – |
The application viscosity at +20 °C is the “compliant” and
“HVLP” mixing viscosity. |
| – |
For three-stage colours, add 5% Aqua Premium hardener -LVM
045 000 A1- only to the base coat |
|
|
|
| – |
For solid colours, add 10% additive for Aqua premium -LVM
035 301 A3- at +20 °C material temperature. |

Note
| If the paint colour does not hide well, it may be necessary
to apply an additional “wet-on-wet” spray coat after an
appropriate flash-off time. |
|
|
|
| Continue the flash-off time without blowing on it until the
entire surface is matt before applying clear coat. |
| Flash-off with an air diffuser is done for 5-10 minutes at
+20-40 °C until the entire surface is matt. |
| The final flash-off time is 10-15 minutes at +60-65 °C.
Allow base coat to cool before applying effect coat. |
Note
| »Blue contour tape« is
recommended for multi-stage finishes. |
|
|
|
| 2-pack HS clear coat up to 72 hours maximum after base coat
application |
| Application of interior finish without clear coat |
| Areas of use are vehicle interiors, e.g. engine compartment
and luggage compartment walls, where a robust semi-gloss finish
without an additional clear coat are desired. |

| Spraying equipment must be suitable for applying water-based
products; manufacturers' instructions must be followed. |
| The mixing colours in this top coat series can be used only
as part of a colour formula. If any mixing colour is applied
alone, the results may differ substantially from the description
in this technical data sheet. |

conventional liquid waste. If the two are mixed, it may be
impossible to dispose of the mixture, or at best difficult, and
therefore expensive. |
