Full details
The FabioT. 2K PU265 HS Chassis Topcoat in Green is designed for professionals and serious DIYers seeking robust, long-lasting protection for truck and commercial vehicle chassis. Its key benefit is superior corrosion and weather resistance, ensuring durability in harsh environments. A potential caveat is the need for proper ventilation and protective gear due to its chemical composition. This high-build polyurethane acrylic coating offers a semi-gloss finish, excellent coverage, and strong adhesion to various metal surfaces, with heat resistance up to 180°C.

FAQs
What is the mixing ratio for the 2.75L kit?
The 2.75L kit contains 1.90L of paint, 0.48L of hardener, and 0.37L of thinner. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for the precise mixing ratio before application.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The coating achieves dust-dry in 15-30 minutes. However, full cure, meaning it reaches its maximum hardness and chemical resistance, takes approximately 7-8 days under standard conditions.
Can this paint be used on automotive body panels (e.g., car doors)?
While it provides excellent protection, this is specifically formulated as a chassis topcoat for heavy-duty vehicles. For car body panels, a coating designed for automotive finishes would be more appropriate for appearance and flexibility.
What is the recommended application temperature?
It is best applied between 10°C and 30°C (50°F and 86°F). Avoid application in direct sunlight, high humidity, or when temperatures are expected to drop below 10°C during the drying and curing process.
How should I clean my application tools?
Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with a suitable solvent, such as lacquer thinner or a polyurethane-specific thinner, before the coating cures.
What kind of primer should I use?
It is recommended to use a primer specifically designed for 2K polyurethane systems and suitable for the substrate (e.g., epoxy primer for steel). Always consult the product's technical data sheet or manufacturer for specific primer recommendations.
Is this paint available in other colors?
This specific product is the Green variant. Other colors like Grey and Silver are available for the 2K PU265 HS Chassis Topcoat series.
Troubleshooting
Poor adhesion or peeling
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (cleaned, degreased, and free of rust/old coatings) and that the correct primer was used. Verify correct mixing ratios and application conditions.
Uneven or rough finish
Check for proper mixing of components. Ensure consistent application technique and appropriate spray gun settings. Ambient temperature and humidity can also affect finish; adjust application accordingly.
Coating remains tacky or soft
Verify the correct hardener was used and that the paint/hardener mixture was allowed the recommended induction time (if applicable). Ensure application conditions are within the recommended temperature and humidity range. Insufficient mixing can also be a cause.
Blistering during or after application
This can be caused by moisture or solvent trapped in the coating layers. Ensure adequate drying time between coats and proper ventilation. Avoid applying in excessively humid conditions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides excellent, durable protection for vehicle chassis.
- Offers strong resistance against corrosion, weather, UV, and solvents.
- Achieves a professional semi-gloss finish.
- Suitable for high-temperature environments.
- Fast drying time speeds up the application process.
Cons
- Requires proper ventilation and personal protective equipment.
- Two-component system requires accurate mixing of paint, hardener, and thinner.
- Full cure takes 7-8 days, requiring patience before heavy use.
- Specific primers may be needed for optimal adhesion on certain substrates.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) system. It requires mixing the paint (1.90L), hardener (0.48L), and thinner (0.37L) in the specified ratio for the 2.75L kit. Ensure thorough mixing for optimal performance. Apply in a well-ventilated area, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, respirator, eye protection).
Compatibility: Bonds well to properly prepared steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants. For optimal results, use with compatible primers designed for automotive or industrial applications.
Care: Once cured, the surface is resistant to most solvents and weather. Clean with mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the semi-gloss finish.
