Wrinkle Paint Effect

The application of the Raggrinzante Paint Effect is a technical application that is best completed by professional painters. The application is summarized in four key steps:

• Preparation of the substrate and an even spray application on the surface
• The application the required thickness of Raggrinzante paint to develop the desired 3D wrinkle effect
• Oven drying at 90°C for 90-120 minutes
• And finally, curing of the dried surface for maximum resistance

For a successful application, we suggest to follow these details:

• Use a spray gun nozzle size of at least 1.8 mm to allow the paint to be evenly sprayed on the surface
• Apply at a minimum a wet spray thickness of 300 microns – the dry thickness is about 50% of the wet thickness
•  The wet paint must be dried in a pre-heated oven at 90°C for 90-120 minutes to allow the paints to slowly dry and create the wrinkle effect

The application thickness of the Raggrinzante paint is higher compared to normal spray paints so the dried paint can develop a nice 3D wrinkle effect. After the surface is baked, the painted pieces are dry and ready for use, but they are not cured. We suggest to wait 15-20 days to allow for the complete curing of the wrinkled finish before any testing is started

And lastly, the preparation of the surface is very important for the wrinkle effect to be realized. A previously painted metal surface must be free from paint so you are painting on clean metal. The application on Nylon plastic requires a primer paint. And other plastics materials must not have a melting point lower than 100°C.

Due to the technical nature of the Raggrinzante application, we suggest to make applications tests. This will allow the user to understand how to apply the paint on their surface along with the drying cycle. The wrinkled paint can be used by private users, but it is important to have good spraying experience.

For testing of the Raggrinzante Paint Effect, we suggest to order a 1 kg sample kit. This includes the wrinkle paint and primer, if needed. This can paint a 3 m2 area.

The wrinkle paint effect is mostly commonly sprayed on various metal and Nylon plastic surfaces because these materials can be baked in an oven at 90°C for a longer time. For questions, contact the Cromas office to discuss your project.
