Basecoat adhesion promoter SKYscapes basecoat adhesion promoter is a high per- formance, single component product that extends the basecoat non-sand overcoating window. Designed exclusively for SKYscapes, it complements and further broadens the system's 72-hour recoat time. The adhesion promoter is easy to mix and apply, with just a light (.2 or .3 mils) spray to create a chemical bond with the existing basecoat. No additional sanding is required. The adhe- sion promoter helps the SKYscapes basecoat-clearcoat system deliver faster processing time, more color appli- cation, and easier maintenance than traditional single- stage systems. This allows aviation MRO facilities and their paint shops to augment production schedules and turnaround more paint jobs. For more information call (888) 888-5593 or visit www.swaerospace.com.
