using Cardinal Nitro finish

Post by Blake Dixon »

This has probably been asked several times however;

• When you use Cardinal Nitro finish do you cut it with Acetone for the first coats or with Alcohol?
• Or cut the finish at all?
• Do you also cut the sealer?


I am using a 1.0 nozzle on a Start line spray gun.

Could anyone help me with the steps after final sanding using Cardinal Products?

Thanks

BLAKE.

The products are packaged ready to spray and you should need to add very little thinner if any at all. If you need to thin use lacquer thinner, not acetone or alcohol .
You never know what you are capable of until you actually try....
