Versatile application options
Description: You can use this simple spraying process to achieve a surface with irregular protrusions that can be seen and felt. The advantage here is that this effect is self-forming after spray applications and doesn’t have to be reworked. It can be created on all substrate materials on which HYDRO colour lacquer can be used. The effect can be appropriately varied by adopting various creative working methods. So every surface becomes a high quality, innovative and individual piece.
Fields of application : Furniture and interior fittings.
How to – Spatter effect
Practical suggestions:
Sand the selected
substrate
material well (e.g. FPY or MDF
priming
foil or melamine-mastic foil). We recommend sanding with 150 - 240 grit. Depending on the desired effect, we recommend using an initial primer on bare MDF surfaces and edges in order to achieve a homogenous base.
The drying time for this primer coat is ideally over night at 20 °C
room temperature
. Then sand with 280 - 400 grit directly before further coating. Next use a cup gun to evenly spray HYDRO Colour lacquer HB 65080-(colour tone) in the desired colour tone for the
substrate
and thinned with 20 % water (if necessary with added HYDRO Optimizer HZ 70) at 120 - 150 g/m² to create a colouring coat. This surface should be left to dry for a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 16 hours at 20 °C
room temperature
.
The surface is not to be sanded!
Then use a pressure cup gun to apply HYDRO Colour lacquer HB 65080-(colour tone) in the desired nap colour tone. The nap structure is determined by the spray parameters. Depending on the size and condition of the nap structure applied, the surface must be left to dry overnight (around 16 hours) better 24 hours at 20 °C
room temperature
.
Hints and tips for creative effects:
The type of surface achieved is mainly caused by the process of applying the nap. Bear in mind the following relationships:
- he more viscous the colour lacquer, the more raised the nap will dry.
- The higher the spray pressure, the lower the nap will develop.
- The smaller the diameter of the spray nozzle, the lower the nap will develop.
Further impact options are offered by the way the gun is directed during nap
application
(speed and distance from the workpiece, etc.). Special colour effects can be achieved by using different colour tones for the base tone and the nap. COOL-COLOR HB 65285-(colour tone) can also be used to create the coat that provides the base tone.
HYDRO colour lacquers can be further nuanced if necessary by adding HYDRO pigment concentrates (e.g. HFM 985, black). Maximum added quantity: 5 %

Products required
Please refer to the current versions of the technical information and safety data sheets for details on the materials mentioned.
Particular instructionsPlease follow the precise specifications for addition of hardeners and any other additives as well as the drying times. Ensure careful stirring or respectively mixing in of all necessary components. HYDRO lacquered surfaces should be freshly sanded on the next day before the finish is applied to avoid adhesion problems. Each prepared surface is a unique piece! Please conduct a sample coating under real conditions.
Warning: Please observe the precise addition of hardeners and thinners in the information below.
