FEYNLAB® OVERCOAT V3

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

FEYNLAB® OVERCOAT V3 is the natural evolution of FEYNLAB OVERCOAT. In version 3, FEYNLAB utilizes a new resin system that increases the chemical protection, water spot resistance, hydrophobic properties, and ease of application.

The super low free surface energy of FEYNLAB® OVERCOAT V3 causes the surface to feel silky smooth to the touch and display super hydrophobic properties. FEYNLAB® OVERCOAT V3’s sole purpose is to add great water sheeting and self-cleaning properties to any of our ceramic coatings.

FEYNLAB® OVERCOAT V3 is intended to be applied on top of our other coatings and is the outermost layer of protection.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

FEYNLAB® OVERCOAT V3 keeps exterior vehicle surfaces cleaner for longer due to its superior hydrophobic and self-cleaning properties. This means vehicles will remain cleaner over time and, when washing, water and contamination will release from the surface with great ease.

FEYNLAB’s true nano technology and bonding chemistry allows for an unparalleled level of protection since the formula penetrates further into the existing paint structure than anything else available.

INCLUDED
30ml (1oz) FEYNLAB® OVERCOAT V3

CAUTIONS
Always wear respirator & gloves during application. Ensure application area is free of loose contamination.

PREPPING THE SURFACE

Thoroughly clean vehicle using FEYNLAB® PURE WASH or FEYNLAB® PURE RINSELESS. Follow with a topical decontamination clay treatment using FEYNLAB® PRIME. If necessary, use a ferrous iron removal product to remove all embedded iron deposits. After polishing paint to desired level, remove all polish oils using FEYNLAB® PANEL PREP to ensure optimal bonding and durability of the coating.

DIRECTIONS

If applying over another FEYNLAB® coating, wait 2 hours (minimum of 1.5 and a maximum of 4 hours) for the base coating to set up. Then apply in the same application pattern as the base coating.

Prior to application, place vehicle in a well-lit, temperature-controlled 50°F-85°F (10°C-30°C), & contamination free environment. Have plenty (4 or more) new microfiber towels, 2-3 microfiber sponge applicators, or 1-2 foam applicators on hand before application.

Once the car is prepped, we recommend taping off and protecting all unapproved surfaces. By performing this step, you minimize the risk of etching by the solvents in FEYNLAB® OVERCOAT V3 on unapproved surfaces, such as rubber lining around windows and doors. Avoid these surfaces with OVERCOAT V3 and wipe off immediately if any contact occurs.

Shake OVERCOAT V3 vigorously for 30 seconds before use.

Inspect the neck of the bottle for any hardened coating crystals. Carefully clean the neck of the bottle with a microfiber towel if any appear, as these can drop on to your applicator pad, and scratch the surface during application.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Apply enough OVERCOAT V3 to a microfiber applicator to fully cover a single panel only, such as a door or half a hood.
2. Make a “+” (plus) sign with product in the middle of the panel, then wipe around the boundaries of the section creating a frame.
3. Next, fill in the framed area with slightly overlapping horizontal (left to right) straight lines over the entire panel. After, switch to vertical overlapping lines. This cross-hatching pattern ensures even application.
4. Apply to 2 to 3 panels before wiping off OVERCOAT V3 following same pattern of application, using two clean microfiber towels. Towel A (left hand) will remove the majority of coating residue. Towel B (right hand) will remove any remaining residue, revealing a clear surface.
5. If the surface is difficult to wipe clear or appears hazy, reduce the application area.

Recommended Maximum Area of Application:
One panel at a time, then wiping off in same pattern as application. This will help reduce the chance for the coating to “shadow.”

FINAL INSPECTION

Carefully inspect all finished panels for any leftover coating residue (high spots) during the final wipe. Commonly, edges, emblems, and other tight areas may contain some remaining residue. High spots are much easier to remove if caught within a 20-40 min window after the final wipe than later, when the coating has set- up and curing has started.

INFRARED CURING (RECOMMENDED, BUT NOT REQUIRED)
OVERCOAT V3 Alone
Bake each panel with an IR lamp to reach a surface temperature of 140°F (60°C) for 15 min at a distance of ~ 30″ from the panel.

OVERCOAT V3 over Another Coating

If applying over another coating, install base coating layer first. Wait 2 hours, then install OVERCOAT V3 in the same application pattern as the base coating. If IR baking is desired, immediately bake each panel with an IR lamp to reach a surface temperature of 140°F (60°C) for 15min at a distance of ~ 30″ from the panel after OVERCOAT V3 is applied to all surfaces.

POST APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Avoid any incidental water exposure for 24 hours. If it occurs, gently wipe water off the surface.
• Avoid all chemicals including car washes for 7 days.
• Wash & Maintain using FEYNLAB® PURE WASH or FEYNLAB® PURE RINSELESS.

CLIMATE NOTES

All FEYNLAB® Coatings are subject to different application dwell and cure time windows due to humidity and temperature conditions. In General, the higher the humidity level the quicker the coating will cure. If humidity level approaches 75% or higher, consider lessening the recommended dwell and wipe times for the coating.

Additionally, moving air will decrease coating dwell times for areas it contacts. Therefore, it is recommended to stop all moving air as much as possible during coating applications to ensure consistency for all portions of the vehicle.

Coatings are best applied in temperature-controlled environments of 50°F-85°F (10°C-30°C), with humidity as low as possible.
