Flextex VT, Quart

Flextex VT Benefits:

• Simulates OEM textures.
• Only one texture paint is needed for all texture sizes.
• Compatible with nearly all top coat systems.
• Does not need to be top coated if black texture is desired.

Application:

• Clean plastic with one of Polyvance's plastic cleaners.
• Sand surface with 180-240 grit sandpaper to remove gloss. Blow dust free with clean, dry air.
• For raw unpainted TPO, PP, or TEO, spray on a light coat of 1050 Plastic Magic Adhesion Promoter and allow to dry. For other raw plastics, adhesion promoter is optional. (Will not work on polyethylene.)
• To build texture, apply 3 to 5 light coats, allowing flash time between coats. Reduce fluid flow at gun for light coats. Let dry for 30 minutes if light coats are applied and 2 to 3 hours for heavier applications before top coating. Flextex VT can be top coated at any time after the minimum dry time.
• After Flextex VT has completely dried, (if desired) top coat with a light coat of Bumper and Cladding Color Coat followed by one or two more wet coats. If another type of top coat is needed, use a laquer compatible top coat system.

How to use Flextex VT

Flextex VT is a black acrylic coating used for re-texturing repaired areas on bumper covers, instrument panels, consoles, etc. A wide variety of pebble-grained textures can be achieved with this product by varying the air pressure, distance from work, and speed of pass. Adding lacquer thinner will reduce texture size.

Step-by-Step Instruction

Step 1

This is typical damage that occurs to textured plastic. This particular vehicle is a Toyota FJ with a lighly damaged fender flare. To fender flare alone cost $245.00! The part can look new again at a fraction of the cost.

Step 2

The damaged area is sanded smooth and any low spots are filled in with Putty Flex. Since this is a TPO part, you will need to apply Filler Prep BEFORE applying the Putty Flex.

Step 3

A light coat of Bumper and Cladding Adhesion Primer is applied to the repaired area. This will aid you in finding any imperfections that may need to be addressed before applying Flextex VT. Not only that, but the Flextex VT DOES need either an adhesion promoter (like Plastic Magic)or Bumper and Cladding Adhesion Primer for proper adhesion to TPO or polypropylene.

Step 4

Flextex VT is applied following the instructions on the can.

Step 5

The fender flare looks brand new again!
