Flextex VT Kit with National Rule Reducer

Flextex VT Kit with National Rule Reducer

Polyvance has packaged together as a kit our Flextex VT Texture Material and our "National Rule" reducer. This kit takes the guesswork out of what to buy and allows you to simulate the OEM texture, from heavy to light, by simply changing the amount of reducer in the mix. See below the mix ratios needed for the different textures.

Flextex VT Benefits:

• Simulates OEM textures
• Vary texture size by varying reduction ratio
• Compatible with nearly all top coat systems
• Does not require top coating if black texture is desired

Application:

• For best results, apply Flextex VT over a primer-surfacer sanded with 320 grit.
• To build texture, apply 3 to 5 light “speckle” coats, allowing flash time between coats. Move gun quickly and don’t flow out the paint. Reduce fluid flow at gun for light coats. Let dry 30 minutes if light coats are applied and 2 to 3 hours for heavier applications before top coating.
• Flextex VT may be top coated with a lacquer compatible top coat system.
• Clean spray gun immediately after use with lacquer thinner.

Texturing Reference:

Use a test panel for determining the texture desired. Painting with limited amounts of reducer, larger nozzle, and low air pressure at the gun will produce the coarsest texture. For smaller textures, reduce the paint with the appropriate Flextex VT reducer.

Heavy Texture: Spray Flextex VT mixed 8:1 (paint:reducer) using a 1.8 mm spray gun at 25 psi.
Medium Texture: Spray Flextex VT mixed 3:1 (paint:reducer) using a 1.4 mm spray gun at 25 psi.
Fine Texture: Spray Flextex VT mixed 1:1 (paint:reducer) using a 1.4 mm spray gun at 25 psi.
