Ellis Paint HY-LUX® 3101 is a solvent-borne enamel formulated for high-gloss, durable finishes on automotive panels. Packaged in a 1 gal can and supplied in black, it provides 758-957 ft² per gallon, making it suitable for full-body color coats or spot repairs where a deep, uniform appearance is required.
The enamel offers a rapid recoat window of 30 minutes to 2 hours, allowing multiple passes without compromising film integrity. Full cure is achieved in 7 days, and the product adheres well to e-coat and primer substrates, ensuring reliable bonding on prepared panels. With a VOC rating of ≤340 g/L (≈2.8 lb/gal) it meets many regional emissions standards while delivering consistent coverage.
Safety is addressed by a flash point of 96.8 °F (36 °C). Use appropriate personal protective equipment-including eye protection, gloves, protective clothing, and a respirator-and maintain adequate ventilation during application to mitigate the listed GHS hazards.
