FAQs
What is a 2K polyurethane paint?
A 2K (two-component) paint contains a base and a hardener that must be mixed together immediately before use. This chemical reaction creates a highly durable and resistant coating once cured.
How much area does 100ml of paint cover?
Coverage varies based on application method and surface porosity. For specific coverage rates, consult the technical data sheet provided by FabioT. or perform a small test application.
Can this paint be applied with a brush or roller?
While primarily designed for spray applications (spray gun, airless), check the product's technical data sheet for specific recommendations on brush or roller application, as it may affect the final textured finish.
What is the shelf life of the mixed paint?
The mixed paint has a limited pot life, typically ranging from a few hours to a day, depending on the specific product and ambient conditions. Refer to the product instructions for the exact pot life.
Is this paint suitable for automotive use?
This paint is designed for industrial machinery, components, lockers, tools, and steel structures. While it offers excellent durability, it may not meet specific automotive finish requirements unless stated otherwise by the manufacturer.
What safety precautions should I take when using this paint?
Always use in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection, as 2K paints can contain hazardous chemicals.
How long does it take for the paint to cure fully?
Curing times vary based on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Generally, it will be dry to touch within a few hours, but full hardness and chemical resistance can take several days to weeks.
Troubleshooting
Paint not curing or drying properly
Ensure the correct mixing ratio of base and hardener was used. Verify that the components were thoroughly mixed and that the ambient temperature and humidity are within the recommended range for application and curing.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Verify the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, degreased) and adequately abraded if recommended. Ensure the correct primer was used if applicable and that the paint was applied within its pot life after mixing.
Uneven texture or finish
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, fan pattern, distance) and application technique. Ensure consistent material flow and avoid over-application or uneven passes. Check for blockages in the spray equipment.
Runs or drips during application
Reduce the amount of paint applied per coat. Increase the distance between the spray gun and the surface. Ensure the paint viscosity is appropriate for the application method.
Pros and Cons

- Provides a durable, impact-resistant, and textured finish.
- Excellent resistance to UV, weather, chemicals, and solvents.
- Hides surface imperfections effectively.
- High adhesion ensures long-lasting performance on metal.
- Suitable for various industrial and commercial applications.
Cons
- Requires careful mixing and handling due to its 2K formulation.
- The 100ml sample size may be insufficient for large projects.
- Proper ventilation and personal protective equipment are essential during application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) product and requires proper mixing of the base and hardener before application. Always follow the manufacturer's specific mixing ratios and induction times. Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and previous coatings. Lightly abrading the surface may improve adhesion.
Compatibility: The paint is specifically formulated for metal surfaces, including industrial machinery, components, lockers, tools, and steel structures. It is compatible with spray gun and airless application equipment. Ensure compatibility with any primers used if not applying directly to bare metal.
Care: Once fully cured, the finish is highly durable and resistant. Cleaning can be done with mild detergents and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the coating. For routine maintenance, inspect for any signs of wear or damage, especially in high-traffic or high-impact areas.
