Description:
Illusion Brass is a brass illusion metallic. This color is a polyester metallic powder coat with a high gloss finish. High Gloss: 85+ Gloss Units To achieve the proper color, Clear Vision PPS 2974 topcoat must be applied. This color has limited UV and weather stability and should primarily be considered for novelty applications. Inconsistent mil thickness of the base coat or topcoat can lead to uneven color results. For optimal results, the base coat and topcoat should be applied at a mil thickness range of 2.5-3.5 each; flash the illusion basecoat for 5 minutes after the powder flows to a gloss state with oven temperature at 375 F. An applicator must visually confirm that this state has been reached, as times will vary. Wait until the part has thoroughly cooled before applying the topcoat. After the topcoat has been applied, fully cure according to the topcoat's recommended cure schedule.WARNING: This product may expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.

Answer:
Illusion series should only be applied directly over substrate. There should be NO base coat under an illusion series powder. Apply powders cold. No need to hot flock. Apply your first coat and then bring to flow-out + 2 minutes (aka Gel-out). In other words, in about 3-5 minutes approx. the base coat will turn from a powder into a liquid looking coating, once this happens, add 2 minutes to your timer. After that flow-out + 2, pull and allow to cool. Apply your top coat. In this case, applying clear vision you will again apply cold (room temp) cover the base coat in a white powder. Place into the oven and follow the cure schedule for the Clear Vision. Which happens to be 375 degree F for 18 minutes. That 18 minute timer should not start until the THICKEST portion of your substrate reaches 375 degrees F. The curing of the clear coat will pull the underlying pigments to the surface giving you a brilliant color that you are looking for. Each coating should be around 3 mil thick. That is .003" thousandths of an inch not millimeter. There is a great video on our website for applying Illusion Malbec.
