HULL TEX AIR
A unique solution for replicating fine factory applied anti-slip coatings as seen on vehicles such as M2 Bradley, Stryker vehicle family, LAV, AVGP Cougar, AVGP Husky, Leopard, Boxer, Strv 122, Challenger 2 and others. The bundle contains proprietary slow curing, high solids adhesive and liquid micronised texturing material dispersion (liquid aggregate). Product requires a 0.5 airbrush nozzle and a good compressor (2 piston type with 3 l air tank or better) to deliver constant pressure between 50 and 60 PSI. If you are normally using hi-standard tools for painting purposes we recommend that you dedicate a less expensive airbrush for the purpose of applying anti-slip although with correct nozzle and pressure there are no problems, cleaning the tool is very easy as the liquid texturing material contains no binder.

VMS Decal Set & Soften 2 in 1
