HOUSE OF KOLOR® SHIMRIN® C2C-KBC11-Q01 is a universal basecoat from the Candy Series, supplied in a 1 qt can and formulated in Apple Red for direct-to-substrate applications in collision repair. It is intended for use over e-coat, fiberglass, OEM finishes, polyester, or primer without additional surfacing.
The formula utilizes the RU series reducers to achieve low viscosity and consistent flow, delivering a VOC level of 3.5 lb/gal (420 g/L) that meets low-VOC compliance standards. Its broad substrate compatibility reduces prep time, and the single-component system eliminates mixing errors, providing reliable coverage for color matching and basecoat builds.
Safety is critical: the product carries a "Danger" signal word with flash point at 4 °C (25 °F). Required PPE includes eye protection, gloves, protective clothing, and a respirator. Use in a well-ventilated area and follow first-aid procedures for inhalation or ingestion as outlined in the SDS.
