ColorBalancer is a Point-of-Delivery product. It should be applied only to clearcoat finishes dry enough to work with. This product was designed as a last minute solution to color matching problems.

Step 1

Step 2.) Mask

Areas surrounding area to be sprayed should be masked using 12" paper to reduce overspray.

Step 2

Step 3.) Spray

Hold product 10 to 12 inches from surface, spray in light and even strokes, checking color match after each coat. Ten (10) minute dry time at 70° F for polishing and/or delivery. When finished, turn can upside down and spray for 3 seconds to keep nozzle clear.

If a mistake is made, use CBR Remover (see Tips & Basics for more instructions on using CBR Remover). Start process over again by cleaning with CBC Cleaner.
