How THICK could that coating possibly be?

Probably exaggerated like their warranty (used to be). :confused:

I am beginning to have no doubt that the 2 micron claim is exaggerated when applied in the real world

Maybe they were able to get 2 microns on a small test disc in the lab, by slathering it on

Being able to do it in the lab, does not excuse later claims by OPT that a few drops will coat a panel. They would have to add a disclaimer that those few drops will not give the 2 micron film thickness that they claim

You can't claim both, 2 microns and "a few drops"....the math does not work
 
I have been emailing back and forth with Dr. G, so there will be some commentary from the OPT side of the equation....pun intended
 
Maybe it expands once you apply it or something? Who knows.

Good thread. Interested in what Dr. G says to you.

Dr G did explain to you that you were communicating with the wrong person.

Not sure what that means

I thought you suggested to some on the Forum that they contact him directly
 
Varying from the general instructions, there are a number of threads which talk about spraying Opti-coat. Apparently this will give a deeper layer of the coating, is it possible Optimum may be referencing this approach.

That is a possibility

I would consider it deceptive marketing if the 2 microns was achieved using application methods that are outside of the manufacturers specified technique


Regardless of the application method, I do not believe there is enough product in the syringe to get 2 microns of coverage on a normal sized vehicle. Especially, when you consider paint porosity, evaporation of carrier solvents and the amount that remains in the applicator
