PERFECTION PRO BRUSH YELLOW

Applications and use cases

Recommended substrates

• Previously painted surfaces
  • In good condition: wash with Super Cleaner or suitable detergent, rinse with fresh water, allow to dry and abrade with 320–400 grit paper.
  • In poor condition: remove all previous coatings and prime the substrate.
• Bare wood: prime with Interprotect or Interprime 820.
• Steel: prime with Interprotect or Interprime 820.
• Aluminium: prime with Interprotect or Interprime 820.
• Gelcoat: wash with Degreaser (ITA080) or suitable detergent, rinse with fresh water and allow to dry; sweep blast or abrade with 180–220 grit paper, remove sanding dust, then apply Perfection Pro Undercoat or YRA600 Undercoat as per the relevant technical data.
• Aged/weathered gelcoats: due to higher porosity and risk of solvent or moisture entrapment, apply 3 coats of Interprotect to seal the gelcoat before applying the undercoat and Perfection Pro topcoat.
• All substrates: use Perfection Pro Undercoat, Interprime 880 or YRA600 (AP only) before applying the topcoat, ensuring Interprotect is overcoated with the appropriate undercoat/primer first when used.

Application conditions and guidance

• Sand the undercoat smooth with 320–400 grit dry paper or 400 grit wet paper (more aggressive) and remove all residue before topcoating.
• Apply 2–3 coats, removing any remaining dust with tack rags before painting.
• Mix thoroughly at the specified 2:1 volume ratio, adding the curing agent to the base and leaving for 10 minutes to allow bubbles to disperse.
• Thinning by brush/roller: up to 20% with YTA100.
• Thinning for spray: use YTA910 at 10–25°C or a blend of YTA910/YTA100 with up to 33% YTA100 at 25–35°C, adjusting according to temperature and application conditions.
• Spray viscosity target: 14–15 seconds (DIN4 cup or equivalent, varies by colour), typically achieved with up to 33% thinner.
• Perfection Pro can be applied by roller without tipping when using brush/roller application.
• Best applied around 15°C in dry, well-ventilated conditions, avoiding relative humidity above 80%.
• For deck use, mix in a suitable non-slip additive.
• No sanding is required between coats 1 and 2 when using brush/roller; sanding between coats 2 and 3 with 320–400 grit paper improves smoothness.
• Do not paint in direct sunlight, on surfaces less than 3°C above dew point, or on surfaces warmer than 41°C.
• Product temperature should be between 15°C and 35°C; ambient temperature between 5°C and 30°C.
• Avoid late-evening application, as condensation during curing can cause gloss loss.
• Ensure mixing cups, roller trays and rollers are solvent-resistant to prevent contamination and film defects.

Compatibility limitations

• Do not use on flexible constructions; it will crack on carvel and clinker/lapstrake hulls.
• Do not apply over any one-pack (single-component) products.
• Not suitable for permanently immersed surfaces.
• Not compatible with matting additives for brush and roller application.

FAQ

1. Is Perfection Pro Brush Yellow suitable for decks?

   Yes, it is suitable for high-wear areas such as decks when used with an appropriate non-slip additive.

2. How many coats are recommended?

   Apply 2–3 coats over a suitable undercoat or primer, depending on the desired finish and system specification.

3. What coverage can I expect by brush or roller?

   Practical coverage is approximately 18.5 m² per litre per coat by brush or roller, depending on colour and application conditions.

4. Do I need to sand between coats?

   For brush and roller application, sanding between coats 1 and 2 is not required. Sanding between coats 2 and 3 with 320–400 grit paper will provide a smoother finish.

5. On which substrates can I use Perfection Pro Brush Yellow?

   It can be used on properly primed bare wood, steel, aluminium, gelcoat (including aged/weathered gelcoat when sealed with Interprotect), and sound existing coatings that are correctly prepared.

6. Can I apply it over single-component paints?

   No. Perfection Pro must not be used over one-pack products.

7. What are the ideal application conditions?

   Apply in a dry, well-ventilated environment, ideally around 15°C, with ambient temperatures between 5°C and 30°C and relative humidity below 80%.

8. How long does it take to dry before overcoating by brush or roller?

   Depending on temperature, minimum overcoating times are 48 hours at 15°C, 24 hours at 25°C and 12 hours at 35°C. Maximum overcoating time is 3 days, 2 days and 24 hours respectively.

9. Is Perfection Pro Brush Yellow suitable for permanent immersion?

   No. It is not suitable for surfaces that will be permanently immersed.

10. Who is this product intended for?
