Using Primary Coating Gray 9120 (Epoxy)
The first step you have to do is clean the media to be painted using water and soap. If there are scratches and stubborn stains, you will need to sand the media with sandpaper with a size of 400 or 600.

Then dry the media using a chamois cloth.

After the media dries, spray Primer Gray 9120 from Diton Premium as a base coat. Spray lightly, 2 to 3 times.

The purpose of spraying this primer is to cover the old paint pores and defects on the surface of the media.

In addition, the application of a primer will make the main paint stick firmly and last longer.

Using 9180 . Silver Metallic Base Color
After the primer coat is completely dry, the next process is to spray the primer. Please note that spraying this primer is the key to the success of candy tone painting.

There are various kinds of basic paint color choices that you can use.

However, this time we recommend using the base color Silver Metallic 9180. This silver base color will produce a metallic particle effect that is bright and strong. This is very suitable for candy tone choices of orange, light green, and yellow colors.

Spray the primer evenly and repeat up to three coats.

After the base paint is completely dry, lightly spray the candy tone color of your choice and repeat up to 3 times for maximum results.

Using Clear Gloss + Activator 9128 for Maximum Results
After the paint is dry, spray Clear Gloss+ Activator 9128 to make the paint look more glossy.

Just like the previous step, spray the clear gloss lightly and if necessary repeat up to 3 times.
