Yes, it can be applied over existing, well-adhered paint systems after proper preparation, such as cleaning and abrading.
What is the recommended thickness for application?
The product is a high-build coating. Refer to the technical data sheet for recommended dry film thickness (DFT) per coat and total DFT for optimal performance.
How long should I wait between coats?
Recoat intervals depend on temperature and humidity. Consult the technical data sheet for specific recoat times for optimal intercoat adhesion.
Is this product suitable for automotive body panels?
While it offers excellent protection, this product is specifically formulated for heavy-duty chassis protection. For body panels, automotive-specific topcoats are generally recommended.

Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or runs
Ensure proper mixing ratios, correct viscosity for the application method, and maintain consistent spray patterns or brush strokes. Avoid over-application.
Poor adhesion
Verify that the substrate is clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease or oil. Ensure the surface has been properly prepared (e.g., sanded if necessary) and that a suitable primer was used if required.
Coating not drying properly
Check ambient temperature and humidity; application conditions should be within the recommended range. Ensure the correct hardener was used and mixed thoroughly. Verify the paint has not expired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) system requiring mixing of the paint, hardener, and thinner in the correct proportions as specified in the product's technical data sheet. Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment (PPE) during mixing and application.
Compatibility: The topcoat is designed to adhere strongly to properly prepared steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum surfaces. It is recommended to use appropriate primers for optimal adhesion and corrosion protection, especially on bare metal.
Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with a suitable solvent. For the coated chassis, regular washing to remove dirt and corrosive agents will help maintain the finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the semi-gloss surface.
