Paint wiped down twice with new BlackFire Crystal Coat Paint prep to ensure a clean surface prior to being coated with new BlackFire Crystal Coat Paint Coating Smaller areas hit with GG3, 3” Tangerine, BlackFire Compound Paint polished with 3401, White Hybrid, BlackFire SRC Compound as a one step Wheels cleaned with Meguiar’s D143 Wheel & Tire CleanerĬlayed with Meguiar’s Blue clay/D155 Last Touch This Focus was the perfect test bed for this new coating review. This Focus ST was in decent condition being fairly new with roughly 2K miles on it. Leaves surface ready for Coating application Spreads easily and flashes within a workable time frame. Smells like cologne making it enjoyable to work with during the paint prep process Lays out very nicely due to being so thinįlashes nicely after being leveled with mf towelĬons: Very watery and easy to over apply if not careful Hopefully the complimentary maintenance products will be added to maintain the BlackFire Coating such as a coating detailer and coating booster… The break neck whiplash inducing shine we have come to expect from the product line. This new coating product from PBMG is what is expected from the BlackFire lineup. Having a coating added to the PBMG lineup makes it exciting as well in that it shows they are not resting in new product development to cater to ever expanding needs/wants from the consumer. I feel that this will probably help.With another new coating coming to market many people are excited to have another option to choose from. Next time I am going to try inside garage with AC on so a bit cooler and a bit dryer air. If it lasts a year or two I will be VERY happy. It did require some elbow grease but the result is excellent. So bottom line at least at this temp & humidity:ġ) Have short nap microfibers for removal/leveling.Ģ) Be prepared to do small sections and move quickly so that you can finish off the entire panel before it really begins to really dry. Also I had to use very short nap microfiber towels to remove because the material is grabby almost instantly and I think longer nap microfibers would have made it even harder to wipe. I will say that I was really unable to wipe it on OR off lightly like it looks in the video. I had to work quickly because I would say that after about 2 minutes it became very hard to wipe/level the product. I was able to do the hood in 1/4 sections though but just barely. I realized quickly that this would not be possible. I was hoping to go over the entire hood or at least half and half since the video on the product page shows what seems like a pretty long working time. I used a foam applicator and right away I noticed that it starts to flash very quickly. Temperature outside was 79 F and 61% humidity. Car was completely in shade and had been overnight so zero heat on the parts. I prepped and used the Blackfire Paint Prep as the last step before applying. Actually, I started with a small section on a bumper just to get a feel for it. Ok, so yesterday I went ahead and applied the Blackfire crystal coat to the hood of a car. How long is the shelf life once the bottle is opened? Is there anything that I can use on top of this product? Wax, etc? What about Quik Detailer and Quik Wax products?Ĥ. If I wanted to remove the product after fully cured could it be removed with say Meguiars Ultimate Polish and 4 to 5 passes with PC DA and polishing foam pad or would I have to use compound? How can you tell you have removed it all?ģ. Is there any particular type of microfiber that I should use to level this product once I apply it? Do the towels have to be thrown away or can they be washed and reused? How can you tell it has been leveled correctly? Do you just wipe until you don't see streaks?Ģ. I am a little nervous because this is the first time I am applying a paint coating and I've read that this product can be a little tricky.ġ. I plan to wash car, clay, polish, and then wipe with Blackfire Crystal Coat Paint Prep. Not sure if I'm posting this in the right section but I am getting ready to apply Blackfire Crystal Coat Paint Coating and have a few questions before I start.
