Touch up paint
What is touch-up paint
Upon request, and dependent on job size, applicators may supply a limited amount of touch-up paint with a completed project. Touch-up paint is supplied in small aerosol cans or bottles with a built in brush for easy application. It is intended to cover small blemishes or to touchup exposed cut ends on fabricated parts.
The touch-up paint provided by Spectrum is the same paint used on your project with a cure additive made available by the paint manufacturers. Each paint type has its own additive that changes the paint from an oven-cured product to a non-oven cured one. Touch-up paint does not have the same adhesion or durability as the factory applied coatings, and will exhibit chalking and fading characteristics at a noticeably faster rate than that of your building painted with a baked-on Kynar® fluoropolymer finish. Therefore, it is recommended that touch-up paint be used as sparingly as possible, no more than a few square inches, as any touch-up will become faded in contrast with the original building color after only a few years.
What is Kynar ADS
Kynar ADS (Air-dry System) coatings are designed for repairing, restoring, and/or repainting the metal on buildings that have a factory applied Kynar coating. Kynar ADS can also be used for painting materials that will not tolerate the elevated bake temperatures required by spray Kynar coatings. Kynar ADS coatings can only be applied by a licensed fluoropolymer applicator, such as Spectrum.
Kynar ADS coatings are based on a fluoropolymer-acrylic resin system, intended for use as a two-coat system. Kynar ADS provides very good fade, chalk, UV degradation, and chemical resistance characteristics.
