Troubleshooting
Poor adhesion or peeling
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and cleaned before application. Verify that the correct hardener and thinner ratios were used and that the coating was applied to a compatible substrate.
Uneven finish or runs
Adjust application technique, spray pattern, or distance. Ensure consistent material flow and reduce the amount of material applied per coat if necessary. Check for correct viscosity.
Coating remains tacky or soft
Confirm that the correct hardener was used and that the ambient temperature and humidity are within the recommended application range. Ensure proper mixing ratios were followed.
Reduced corrosion resistance
Verify that the zinc phosphate content is intact and that the surface was properly prepared. Ensure no contaminants were present during application and that the coating has fully cured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2-component system. The 2.75L kit includes 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 of paint, hardener, and thinner before application. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application. Preparation of the substrate is crucial for adhesion and durability.
Compatibility: The topcoat is designed to adhere to steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum surfaces. It is recommended to use appropriate primers suitable for these substrates, especially if corrosion protection is a primary concern.
Care: Clean application equipment thoroughly with appropriate thinners immediately after use. For the coated surface, routine cleaning with mild detergents and water is sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could compromise the finish.
