Cover any mechanical or moving parts as well as wires and wire harnesses.

The product will perform either way. Regardless of application method, the goal is to get to a total thickness of 2 to 3 mm. At a minimum, Spectrum must measure 1mm thick to achieve sound deadening results (slightly thicker than a credit card). We recommend 2mm thick, but you can go above that. At 1mm thick, a gallon will cover about 40 square feet.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eApply in layers of no more than 1mm at a time. If Spectrum runs, you are applying it too thick.\u003cstrong\u003e Always clean the spray gun between layers\u003c\/strong\u003e by running water through it until there's no dark pigment. After 30 to 60 minutes (depending on temperature and humidity), Spectrum will skin over and change colors from blue to black. Once Spectrum is black, it’s safe to add another layer.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eMost regular paint guns will not be able to spray Spectrum due to the extremely viscous consistency. We suggest using a HVLP undercoating gun or the Second Skin spray gun. Whichever you use, the nozzle and stem must be 2mm.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSpectrum is easy to clean up with water if done within 30 minutes of applying the product.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAllow 24-36 hours before another product or upholstery is installed.

Prior to spraying Spectrum, everything close to the panel should be covered and masked off for overspray protection. For an airless sprayer, you want at least 3000 psi, a 0.019” nozzle, and a hose less than 1 yard long. If you use our Second Skin spray gun, we recommend an air compressor with 5-6.5 cfm and 50-80 psi. A 6-gallon tank is ideal. If your compressor is not strong enough, try elevating the bucket higher than the gun and let gravity help out.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrushing \u003c\/strong\u003eis the more popular choice for applying Spectrum.
