Quickbase reducers are designed to initiate a very fast cure or very fast flash time of the basecoat. Prevents the aluminum flakes in the basecoat color from moving or "mottling"

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Many basecoat systems require the use of a "Stabilizer" or a "Converter", which are added to the basecoat color. These products are designed to initiate a very fast cure, or a very fast flash time of the basecoat. This is achieved with products that quickly evaporate from the basecoat film or products that induce a reaction of the resins. The objective of these products is to prevent the aluminum flakes in the basecoat from moving or "mottling".

Each major paint company has formulated a separate method of "stabilizing" or "converting" their basecoat colors. 5 Star Autobody Products has duplicated three of the most very popular Basecoat Systems:

PPG: Reactive Reducers
Dupont: Basemaker Reducers
Sherwin Williams: Basecoat Stabilizer

5 Star Flowstar Urethane Reducers are formulated to be used to thin primer surfacers, clearcoats and European colorcoats.

FEATURES:
• Direct offset to major paint companies
• Prevents "mottling" of metallics
• Fast Drying
