FAQs
What is the shelf life of this product?
Refer to the product packaging for specific shelf life information. Once mixed, the pot life is limited and should be used within the recommended timeframe.
Do I need a primer before applying this topcoat?
While the topcoat adheres well to bare metal, using a compatible primer is recommended for optimal adhesion, corrosion resistance, and finish, especially on heavily corroded or previously painted surfaces.
Can this product be used on car chassis as well as trucks?
Yes, it is suitable for any heavy-duty chassis requiring durable protection, including car chassis, provided the surface preparation and application guidelines are followed.
How should I dispose of leftover mixed product?
Unused mixed product should be disposed of according to local environmental regulations. Consult your local waste disposal authority for proper disposal methods.
What is the expected durability of this coating?
When applied correctly and maintained, this high-build coating offers long-lasting protection against corrosion, weathering, and UV exposure, significantly extending the life of the chassis.
Can this product be thinned?
Consult the product's technical data sheet for recommended thinners and maximum thinning ratios. Over-thinning can compromise the coating's performance and durability.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or poor coverage
Ensure proper mixing of components. Check spray equipment for blockages or incorrect settings. Apply in consistent, even coats.
Coating peeling or bubbling
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Check for inadequate adhesion to the substrate; consider a primer if necessary.
Slow drying time
Drying times are dependent on temperature and humidity. Ensure application occurs within the recommended environmental conditions. Thicker coats may take longer to cure.
Runs or drips on surface
Applied too thickly or at the wrong spray distance. Reduce the amount of product applied per coat and maintain a consistent spray pattern and distance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) product. Ensure proper mixing ratios are followed as per the manufacturer's instructions before application. Adequate ventilation is crucial during mixing and application. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and a respirator.
