And you'll be very happy with most of 'em. * Solvent content. The solvent content of WD CARC is less than half that of solvent-based CARC. It also contains no hazardous air pollutants. * Compatibility. Since WD CARC is fully compatible with all existing CARC primers and topcoats, you can use it to touch up a vehicle that's been painted with solvent-based CARC. * Flexibility. WD CARC is more flexible after application. That means fewer problems with chipping and cracking. * Mar resistant. WD CARC is more durable and doesn't scratch as easily as the old CARC. That means less time spot painting to fix scratches and scrapes. * Weather resistant. WD CARC is much more durable in all weather conditions. In fact, tests have shown that WD CARC can last up to twice as long as the old solvent-based CARC. * Color stability. WD CARC doesn't fade like the old CARC. So when you do have to spot paint, you won't have to worry about the colors not matching. * Cost. WD CARC does cost a little more than the old CARC, but you won't need as much. Tests have shown that up to one-third less paint is needed during spray application. The Similarities Although WD CARC is water-based, the personal protective equipment required during spray and brush application remains the same as for solvent-based CARC. * Clothes that cover all your skin. Coveralls work well. * Boots and rubber gloves. * Face shield or splash goggles to protect your eyes from paint. * Respiratory protection. A respirator--not just a dust mask--is always required when spray painting with WD CARC. However, depending on the conditions and location for spot painting with a brush, you may or may not need a respirator. Contact your local occupational safety and health office to perform an evaluation of your work area. If a respirator is required, they'll do a baseline medical evaluation, fit-test you for the proper respirator and train you in its use. Mixing WD CARC comes in two-component kits that have to be mixed before use. The mixing ratio is two parts of component A to one part of component B. Once the two components are thoroughly mixed, you can thin the paint by adding up to one part deionized (or distilled) water to four parts of the mixed paint. You may want to thin a little less for brush painting. Again, you must thoroughly mix the paint to ensure the water and both components are completely blended. Be careful not to over thin with water since that will make the paint unusable. WD CARC NSNs There are two types of WD CARC. Type I is better than the original CARC but contains silica-based extender pigments that are almost identical to those used in solvent-based CARC. The extender pigments in Type II are replaced by small spherical beads. These beads are the main reason for the paint's improved performance properties and make it the recommended choice.
