It is characterized by high gloss, high abrasion and chemical resistance, high gloss retention, quick drying and flexibility. It has been specially formulated to withstand exposure to the tropical climate, and is virtually scratchproof. It is also a lowbake system that can be force dried to reduce processing times. It is used in cases where a high quality finish is required, on Suitably primed or previously painted mild steel, galvanized iron, aluminium, fiberglass and wood and is ideal for re-coating and repairing of commercial and passenger vehicles providing a superior appearance and exterior.
