Q: Do I need a special ground coat before applying this basecoat?
A: Yes. Because the basecoat is translucent, a uniform ground coat (e.g. SS01 Silver Sealer or KD3000 series) is required for consistent color and effect.

Q: What is the difference between KBC01 and C2C-KBC01?
A: C2C-KBC01 is a variant formulated to comply with lower VOC regulations (Coast-to-Coast rules) while maintaining the same Brandywine Shimrin2 effect.

Q: What reducer and mix ratio should I use?
A: Use a RU-series reducer (RU310, RU311, RU312) mixed at 2 parts basecoat to 1 part reducer for typical ambient conditions.
