BEFORE YOU PAINT…
Planning is the key to a show-quality paint job. You’ve got to think about each component, how you’re going to lay
down each coat, how the colours will work together, and always check the technical guidelines! When you stick with the
House of Kolor ® kustom paint system, we do most of the work for you, so the application goes smoothly and the quality
lasts for the long term. Here’s all the basics you need to know:
• Use our heavy-duty, kustom grade epoxy primers! You’re entering the world of high-build kustom painting, and even the
best refinish primer can’t stand up to the challenge. House of Kolor ® primers are the foundation of a high-build kustom
paint job. If you’ve already primed the surface with something else, sand it off and re-prime it with House of Kolor ® .
When all is said and done, you’ll be glad you did. By the way, our primers are direct to metal, plastics and fibreglass
- for all custom painting applications.
®
• For maximum adhesion between primer and basecoat, use the House of Kolor coloured sealers (Ko-Seal ® II)! These
rugged products not only add years to your paint job, but they give you three colour options to reduce the amount of
basecoat required for coverage. Use the white, black, or metallic silver sealer, or tint the metallic silver or white with
kandy koncentrate to approximate any basecoat.
®
• Use House of Kolor topcoat clears – properly! House of Kolor ® uses special solvents in our products – solvents that bite
deep into the surrounding coats. Only House of Kolor ® premium urethane clearcoats allow those solvents to bite into
them, whereas competitors’ clears do not achieve the adhesion with our solvents and will flake off (delaminate) quickly.
Our UC35 and new UCC01 products provide a harder finish to provide stability and protection over the thicker colour
coats. Our UFC35 and UFC19 product provide the maximum flow-out and user friendliness. For a flat (or matte) finish,
try our new UMC35 Kos-Matte Klear!

AND ALWAYS…
®
• Don’t be a hero - follow the House of Kolor Application Recommendations! We want you to have the best finish
possible, so if House of Kolor ® recommends three coats of pearl with 75% overspray, then you should stick to that
recommendation! Our technical manual is available for download at www.smitsgroup.co.nz. It’s a great tool that’s easy
to follow, for worry-free painting!
