Jobs to Be Done

What Are You Trying to Do

Six situations that cover most of what comes through a refinish bay.

Paint has to stick to something difficult

Plastic bumper covers, flexible trim, pre-painted metal, aluminum, chrome. Bulldog works as a tie coat between the substrate and the finish so one shop process covers a mix of materials. Versions include waterborne-compatible, VOC-compliant, and aerosol for spot work.

Adhesion Promoters Aircraft

A coating has to come off

Full strips down to substrate, layered repaints, decals, and adhesive residue. The Aircraft line comes in liquid and aerosol, so a shop can match the product to the job.

Paint Removal Prep-All

The surface has to be clean before paint

Wax, grease, silicone, road film, and bug and tar residue all cause the same problem later. Prep-All handles the wipe-down step, including panel wipes and glass cleaning, so the finish has a sound surface to bond to.

Surface Prep & Cleaners Naked Gun

The spray gun has to keep spraying right

Dried paint in the passages costs you pattern, atomization, and eventually the gun. Naked Gun cleaners and paint removers clear buildup between jobs, with formulas for daily cleanup and for guns that have gone too long.

Spray Gun Maintenance

Something needs thinning or cleanup

Lacquer thinners, paint thinners, mineral spirits, acetone, xylene, toluene, and naphtha, including CARB-compliant versions where they are required. The everyday solvents a paint department goes through.
