GRAVIGARD

Aerosol Stone Chip Protector

DESCRIPTION: Gravigard is a rubber based, durable coating designed to reproduce the manufacturer's original stone chip finish. Gravigard will protect against stone chips, salt, damp and rust. Gravigard will also help to deaden sound and vibrations and is, therefore, ideal for application to body panels and inside engine compartments. The high build formula will cover weld marks and seams, often in one application.

SURFACE PREPARATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Gravigard ship protector can be used on the following surfaces:-

  • Suitable prepared, primed or bare metal. For overcoating aluminium, an etch primer is recommended.
  • Original paint surfaces (with the exception of thermoplastic acrylics).

Thoroughly clean and degrease old paint surfaces with a suitable spirit wipe or thinner. Wet flat with 400 grade paper. For bare metal use 180 grade paper. Re-clean and dry.

APPLICATION: Shake the can before use. Allow approximately 10-15 minutes for the solvent to flash off when building a thick coat.

BUILD: One coat of Gravigard will give a build of approximately 35 microns. Spray the Gravigard at a distance of 20-30cm from the panel being coated. Varying the distance of the can from the panel during spraying will give a flatter or bumpier effect.

DRYING TIME: Approximately 2 hours at normal shop temperature or 30 minutes at low bake (80°C). Drying time is dependant on film thickness, humidity and temperature.

OVER-PAINTING: Gravigard may7 be over-painted with most paint systems. With 2 pack acrylic paints it can be over-painted wet on wet. For optimum gloss the use of a primer is recommended.
