Drying times may be reduced still further by using the Deltron Accelerated System.
Substitute D863 Accelerated Hardener for D802 and dust-free time reduces to 10 minutes.
Stoving at 60°C takes 20 minutes. Potlife is 3 - 4 hours.
Adding 10gms or 10 mis of D818 Accelerator per litre of ready-to-spray paint mixture improves
dust-free times to 15 minutes (with D802) or 5 minutes (with D803).
Using D863 and D818 together reduces dust-free time to 5 minutes and through drying at 60°C
to 15 minutes. Potlife is 3 - 4 hours.

** Stoving times are for quoted metal temperature. Additional time should be allowed in the
stoving schedule to allow metal to reach recommended temperature.
*** Dependent on colour of basecoat; darker colours require less time.
