FAQs
What is the pot life of the mixed paint?
The pot life (working time) of the mixed 2K polyurethane paint is typically limited and depends on the specific product and ambient temperature. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for the exact pot life and avoid using the mixture after this period.
Can this paint be applied with a brush?
While primarily designed for spray application (spray gun or airless), some textured paints can be brushed or rolled with specific techniques. However, achieving a uniform textured finish might be challenging. It is best suited for spray application for optimal results.
How long does it take to cure?
Curing times vary based on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. The paint will typically be touch-dry within a few hours, but full hardness and chemical resistance may take several days to a week. Consult the product data sheet for specific curing schedules.
What kind of surface preparation is needed?
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, dust, rust, and old loose paint. Light abrasion or sanding may be required to ensure good adhesion, followed by thorough cleaning.
Is this paint suitable for automotive use?
While it is designed for industrial machinery and steel structures, some variants might be suitable for commercial vehicles, offering a durable and protective finish. Always check the specific product description for intended use.
What is the volume of the kit?
This specific kit bundle contains a total volume of 1.10 Liters, comprising 0.76 L of paint, 0.19 L of hardener, and 0.15 L of thinner.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate PPE, including a respirator with organic vapor cartridges, chemical-resistant gloves, and eye protection. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive safety information.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and properly prepared. Check that the correct primer (if used) is compatible and applied correctly. Verify the paint-to-hardener ratio is accurate.
Uneven or rough texture
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, nozzle size) or application technique. Ensure consistent distance from the surface. The correct amount of thinner might be needed for optimal flow, but follow manufacturer guidelines.
Coating is too soft or tacky after application
The hardener may not have been mixed correctly or fully activated. Ensure the correct hardener is used and mixed thoroughly according to instructions. Check ambient temperature and humidity, as these can affect curing times.
Bubbles or pinholes in the finish
Ensure the surface is completely dry and free of contaminants. Check for excessive spray pressure or applying the coating too thickly. Ensure proper ventilation to allow solvents to escape during drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a 2K (two-component) system, meaning the paint and hardener must be mixed in the correct ratio before application. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for precise mixing instructions, typically involving specific volumes of paint, hardener, and potentially a thinner. Ensure you are using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection, especially when spraying. Proper ventilation is crucial during application and drying.
Compatibility:
This paint is designed for use on properly prepared metal surfaces, including steel structures, industrial machinery, tools, and lockers. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, rust, and old paint. Priming may be necessary depending on the substrate and desired finish.
Care:
Clean applied surfaces with mild detergents and water. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating. For best results and longevity, follow the recommended drying and curing times before subjecting the coated items to heavy use or environmental exposure. Store any unused mixed product according to safety guidelines, as mixed 2K paints have a limited pot life.
