How to Apply “Metal C Coating”

Townsend — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:32:03 +0000

This video demonstrates techniques for applying our Sculpt Nouveau Metal C coating. The C Coating is different from the B coating in that it contains a higher amount of metal in it and has a three part formlua: 1) body, 2) hardener, 3) and a catalyst. This three-part mix allows the fully cured metal coating to be so hard that it can be polished with a buffing wheel , just like you would with real metal.
