The application process for the Ultra System P30 Prime 2K Surfacer is straightforward. Always prioritise safety by ensuring the correct personal protective equipment is worn before handling any product. Conduct an evaluation of the panel or repair area to determine the precise amount of product necessary for the task. The formulations for the Ultra System P30 Prime 2K Surfacer are available in the Sherwin-Williams Colour Retrieval System.
