Coo-Var Extra Brilliant Aluminium Paint

This high-metallic sheen aluminium paint is designed for use on wood and metal surfaces, providing excellent heat and light reflective properties. It is suitable for a wide range of applications including car wheels, radiators, and metal components, offering both a protective and decorative finish. The product is specifically formulated to resist temperatures of up to 150°C, making it an ideal choice for high-temperature environments.

Application and Surface Preparation

Before applying, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or other contaminants. For metal surfaces, blast cleaning to SA 2½ is recommended to achieve optimal results. Where blast cleaning is not possible, mechanical cleaning is an alternative. However, hand cleaning alone may not achieve the necessary cleanliness for long-term durability.

For wood surfaces, the paint should be applied to dry, smooth surfaces for the best coverage. Application can be done using a brush or airless spray for even distribution. If using spray methods, ensure that the nozzle size is set to 0.013” and the pressure is maintained at 2000 psi.
