FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need the primer?

We don’t recommend to use NEXTEL Suede Coating 3101 without a primer.
The primer promotes the adhesion and provides the correct color for the underground. As you can see in the picture, the same color could appear completly different with the wrong color on the underground. We can only guarantee the correct color on the recommended color of our NEXTEL Primer 5523. 

NEXTEL Velvet Coating 811-21 adheres to steel and sanded aluminum directly, but it should be for visual use only. As soon as there is any requirement on flexibility, termperature or mechnacial impact on the surface, better use the NEXTEL Primer 5523 first to promote the adhesion.

How do I repair NEXTEL?

Please do NOT spray a new layer of NEXTEL Suede Coating 3101 on top of an old layer. The solvents will dissolve the old coatings which will lead to very bad appearance. The NEXTEL will ripple and lose its adhesion. 

Option 1: Sand NEXTEL down to its primer, clean the surface and then spray the new layer of NEXTEL Suede Coating 3101. Please mind that the appearance might change between the new and the old coating. 

Option 2: Clean the surface, spray one thick layer (> 30 µm) of NEXTEL Primer 5523 and let it dry properly (4h at room temperature). This layer will seal the surface and prevent the penetration of solvents into the old layer. Then start to apply the full NEXTEL System. 
Choose this option only, if the NEXTEL surface is still all right and you only want to refresh the color.

Spot Repair: Please do spot repairing only for small damages (size of a pinhead). Please bear in mind that the color might be differ, if you use another batch or some time have already passed by.

How do I clean greasy spots?

Please take actions according to our cleaning instruction above.

If water and soap don’t work, you can try to clean it carefully with white spirit. Put a few drop on a soft cotton rag and dab it on the greasy spot. Avoid rubbing or scratching! This might harm the surface. Due to the wide range of composition of white spirit, please check the surface for suitability at an unobtrusive point first.
