This system provides extreme clarity, depth, and kandy-like appearance in a simple factory pack system. The "C2C" version is Coast-2-Coast compliant, meeting all low VOC regulatory limits, in a solventโ€ฆ

HOUSE OF KOLORยฎ SHIMRINยฎ 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 ยฐC (25 ยฐF). 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.
