Full details
This professional blending solvent is designed for automotive refinishing, offering a seamless blend for 2K HS coating systems. Its key benefit is the creation of invisible transitions, reducing visible lines and enabling easy polishing for a high-gloss finish, particularly useful for spot repairs. A caveat is that it is specifically formulated for topcoats and requires a 24-hour curing time for the underlying layers.

FAQs
What is Mipa Fadeout Spray used for?
It is used to create smooth, invisible transitions when blending new 2K HS coatings with existing paintwork, ideal for spot repairs and refinishing.
Can I use this with any type of paint?
No, Mipa Fadeout Spray is specifically designed for 2K HS (High Solids) coating systems.
How long does it take for the blended area to be polishable?
The transition area can typically be polished with ease after the topcoat has sufficiently leveled, usually within hours, but the full cure of the underlying layers is 24 hours.
What is the recommended application distance?
Apply the spray from a distance of approximately 15-20 cm for optimal results.
How do I prevent the spray from running?
Apply in light, even passes, gradually widening the spray pattern. Avoid over-application in one area.
Is this product suitable for clear coats?
Yes, it is designed for use with 2K HS clear coats and topcoats to achieve seamless blends.
What is the shelf life of Mipa Fadeout Spray?
Stored correctly in a cool, dry place, the product typically has a shelf life of several years. Refer to the can for any specific batch information or expiry dates.
Troubleshooting
Visible lines persist after blending.
Ensure the spray was applied evenly and from the correct distance. You may need a second light application of Fadeout Spray to further soften the edge. Verify the underlying 2K HS topcoat was applied correctly.
Paint appears dull or uneven after polishing.
This could be due to insufficient blending or premature polishing. Ensure the transition area was fully dissolved and leveled before polishing. Allow the topcoat to cure adequately as per its specifications before attempting to polish.
Spray nozzle clogs.
After each use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If clogged, try cleaning with a suitable solvent or replace the nozzle if possible.
Unexpected paint reaction or texture change.
Confirm compatibility with your specific 2K HS topcoat. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure. Ensure no contaminants are present on the surface or in the spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the area to be painted is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Apply the underlying 2K HS coating system according to its manufacturer's instructions and allow adequate flash-off time. The Mipa Fadeout Spray is applied after the final coat of the 2K HS topcoat.
Compatibility: This product is specifically formulated for use with 2K HS (High Solids) coating systems. It is designed to interact with these types of paints to achieve the desired blending effect. It is not recommended for use with single-component paints or other types of coating systems.
Application: Spray Mipa Fadeout Spray from a distance of approximately 15-20 cm onto the transition zone between the newly applied paint and the existing finish. Work in light, even passes, gradually widening the spray pattern to feather the edge. Allow the solvent to work and the paint to level.
Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the nozzle is clean after use by inverting the can and spraying until clear propellant emerges. Dispose of the can responsibly according to local regulations.
