WEST SYSTEM 502-8 Fiberglass & Repair

502 Black Pigment is an epoxy-based liquid colorant designed to tint your epoxy mixture a rich, even black color. This professional-grade pigment is ideal for creating a uniform color base for repair work, helping you identify surface imperfections during fairing and preparation, and providing a consistent foundation for your final finish system.

Quality Control Through Color:

One of the most valuable benefits of using black pigment is its ability to highlight surface flaws and imperfections that might otherwise go unnoticed. The dark, uniform color makes it easy to spot low areas, pinholes, and surface irregularities during the fairing process, ensuring you achieve a perfectly smooth surface before applying your final finish coats.

Versatile Color Base:

Whether you’re performing structural repairs, fairing large areas, or creating a consistent color base for subsequent coatings, 502 Black Pigment provides even, predictable coloration throughout your epoxy mixture. The liquid formulation blends easily and disperses uniformly, eliminating streaks and color variations.

Important Considerations:

While pigmented epoxy provides excellent color consistency and helps with surface preparation, it’s important to note that cured, pigmented epoxy surfaces are not final finish surfaces. They require an additional paint or UV filter coating for proper ultraviolet protection to prevent degradation from sun exposure.

Key Features:

• Even Black Coloration: Creates uniform color throughout the epoxy mixture
• Highlights Imperfections: Makes surface flaws visible for better fairing results
• Easy to Use: Liquid formulation blends quickly and evenly
• Universal Compatibility: Works with WEST SYSTEM 105 Epoxy Resin/200 Series Hardeners, G/flex 650, or G/5 Five-Minute Adhesive
• Professional Results: Provides a consistent color base for final finish systems

Common Applications:

• Fairing and surface preparation work
• Structural repairs requiring color coding
• Creating uniform color bases for painted surfaces
• Identifying surface imperfections during finishing
• Color-matching repairs to existing black components

Remember to protect all pigmented epoxy surfaces with a quality paint or UV coating system for long-term durability and appearance.
