Royal Ruby Step 2

Royal Ruby Step 2 over Royal Ruby Step 1 creates a rich red metallic. This color is a polyester two coat powder coat with a high gloss finish. Two Coat Information: To achieve this color as shown, Royal Ruby Step 1 PMB-10626 must be applied as a base coat. High Gloss: 85+ Gloss Units To achieve proper two-step color results, Step 2 must be applied as the topcoat. Inconsistent mil thickness in either the basecoat or topcoat can result in uneven color. Apply both the basecoat and topcoat in accordance with the recommended mil thickness specifications. Flash, or partially cure, basecoat for 2 minutes after the powder has flowed to a gloss state, with both oven and part metal temperatures at 400°F. An applicator must visually confirm that the powder has reached the gloss state. Using an infrared thermometer, verify that the substrate has reached the target temperature. Flash time should begin only after the part metal reaches the target temperature, as starting too early can negatively affect powder flow, crosslinking, gloss, color, and adhesion. Actual times may vary depending on conditions. Allow the part to cool completely before applying the topcoat. Once the topcoat has been applied, fully cure it according to the topcoat’s recommended cure schedule. We strongly recommend spraying a test panel before starting your project, especially if you are using a topcoat or additional basecoats, primers, etc. This helps ensure the final color meets your specifications and allows you to anticipate any potential changes in color or finish.
