- Quick bake. Dust-free in 10 minutes and dry in 15 at 140°F.
- Built-in flex. No flex additive on most flexible parts.

Mix and spray
- Mix 2 parts Performance LV Fast (or a Fast/Slow blend) with 1 part LV Hardener 556173, by volume. The TDS lists no reducer.
- For a faster cure, add up to 15 ml of LV250 Accelerator 389353 per ready-to-spray quart. That cuts pot life to 40 minutes.
- Use an HVLP or compliant gravity gun with a 1.3–1.4 mm tip.
- Apply a medium closed coat, flash 5–10 minutes, then a full flowing coat.
- Flash 0–10 minutes, then bake 15 minutes at 140°F, or air dry 2 hours at 70°F.
