Streaking (Pigmented Finish)
Lines of differing colours in the finished coating.
Cause
Preventative Action
Pigmented coating not stirred prior to use.

Thoroughly stir Mirotone coatings prior to application preferably using a power stirrer. Alternatively use a 20mm wide stirring stick using a lifting motion to ensure that the contents at the bottom of the can are mixed in.

Worn out or incorrectly set up spray equipment.
Replace worn spray equipment or refer to the correct spray gun set up and usage information.
Insufficient overlap in the spray application passes.
Ensure that each spray pass overlaps the previous pass by at least 50%.
Excessively heavy coats applied causing flotation of the colourant.
Apply all Mirotone coatings to the correct Wet Film Thickness as specified on the relevant product data sheet. Apply the mixed coating in lighter coats.
Choice of thinner is not compatible with colourants in the tinted colour.
Only use MIROSOL thinners recommended on the relevant product data sheet.
