FAQs
What is the mixing ratio for the RT 2K PU265 HS Chassis Topcoat?
Refer to the product's technical data sheet for the exact mixing ratio of paint, hardener, and thinner, as it may vary slightly based on application method and environmental conditions.
How long does it take for the paint to fully cure?
The paint achieves a full cure in approximately 7-8 days under standard conditions (around 20°C and 50% relative humidity).
Can this paint be applied over existing coatings?
Yes, provided the existing coating is sound, clean, and properly prepared. It's recommended to consult the technical data sheet for specific compatibility guidelines.
What is the shelf life of the mixed product?
Once mixed, the pot life of a 2K coating is limited. It is crucial to use the mixed product within the pot life specified by the manufacturer, typically ranging from a few hours.
What type of thinner should I use?
The kit includes a specific thinner. If additional thinner is required, use a high-quality polyurethane-grade thinner recommended by FT Paints for this product.
Is this product suitable for interior applications?
While it offers excellent protection, its primary formulation is for heavy-duty chassis protection. For interior applications, consider coatings specifically designed for those environments, especially regarding VOCs and finish.
How should I store unused components?
Store unopened containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Ensure lids are tightly sealed.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, cleaned, and degreased before application. Verify the correct mixing ratio and application technique were used.
Uneven finish or brush marks
Ensure proper thinning for the application method. If brushing, use a high-quality brush and apply with smooth, even strokes. For spraying, maintain consistent gun speed and distance.
Slow drying time
Ensure correct mixing ratios. Ambient temperature and humidity can affect drying times; apply within the recommended temperature range (typically 10-30°C) and avoid excessively humid conditions.
Bubbling or pinholing
Check for moisture contamination on the surface or in the air supply if spraying. Ensure proper ventilation during application and curing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This is a two-component (2K) coating. Proper mixing is crucial. The kit includes 13.8L of paint, 3.4L of hardener, and 2.8L of thinner. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended mixing ratio of paint, hardener, and thinner. Ensure a well-ventilated area for application and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Compatibility:
This topcoat is designed for direct application onto properly prepared steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium surfaces. Ensure all substrates are clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease, oil, or rust. It is compatible with various application methods including electrostatic, Airmix, Airless, and brush.
Care:
Clean application equipment immediately after use with an appropriate solvent. The coated chassis should be allowed to cure fully (7-8 days) before being subjected to extreme conditions or heavy cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods on the freshly coated surface.
