Awlcraft 2000 is a fast drying, acrylic urethane high gloss topcoat
for an easy-to-apply, high gloss finish. This Product MUST be
sprayed. Not for use by brush/roller.
NOTE: Awlcraft 2000 is a 3 component system applied by spray only.

Theoretical Coverage:Spray Application: 573 Sq. Feet at 1 mil (25 microns) dry film thickness; 230 SQ.
Feet at recommended dry film thickness.
Recommended Wet Film Thickness: 6-9 mils (150-225 Microns), Total
of 2-3 Coats.
Recommended Dry Film Thickness2-3 mils (50-75 Microns), Total of
2-3 Coats.
Recoatability: Spray applications consist of 2-3 coats applied over 1-4 hours.
Exact time will vary with temperature, project size, and film
thickness applied. Brush/Roller applications require at least 2
coats applied minimum of 16 hours apart. AwlCraft 2000 topcoats
which have been allowed to dry more than 24 hours must be sanded
before recoating.
Coverage calculations are calculated for mixed base and converter,
reduced 25% and are based on a theoretical transfer of efficiency
of 100%. Actual coverage rate obtained will vary according to
equipment choice, application techniques, part size, and
application environment.
Anticipated Cure Time at 77 F/ 50% R.H.: 24 hours to tape free, 3
days to light service, 14 days for full cure.
Surface PreparationBest results are achieved when sprayed over properly prepared
Awlgrip 545 Primer. May be applied directly over some existing
finishes. The existing finish must be sound, tightly adhered to the
substrate, and chemically compatible with the Awlcraft 2000.
Mixing and Reduction Spray:Mix by volume 2 parts Awlcraft 2000 Topcoat Base Component with one
part Awl-Cat #2 Spray Converter to a smooth homogenous mixture.
Reduce 25%-33% with the spray reducers appropriate for conditions.
Overall mix is 2:1:3/4-1 by volume. 25% reduction is a standard
mix. Clear coats, metallic colors, and painting in high temperature
conditions may require additional reduction up to 40%.
Application Instructions
General: The primed surface must be clean and dry. Achieving maximum gloss
and distinction of image requires the primer be smooth sanded with
220-320 grit paper before topcoat application. Using a contrasting
mist coat of lacquer primer as a guide coat is recommended. Smooth
sanding until all the guide coat is removed indicates a texture
free surface. Two to three coats are recommended for spray
applications.
Spray Application: Apply a light, smooth, slightly wet tack coat to the surface.
Allow tack coat to flash off 30 to 45 minutes. Then apply a full,
wet coat to achieve color coverage (ie hide) and film thickness
requirements. If preferred, three coats may be used. Allow second
coat to flash off 30 to 45 minutes until only slightly tacky before
applying third coat. Coats 2 and 3 are not full wet coats in 3 coat
applications. The second coat is a slightly heavy tack coat with
the third coat just wet enough to obtain full hide (opacity) or
color coverage. Do not apply to surfaces warmer than 105 F or
colder than 55 F. Do not attempt to cure below 55 F.
