FAQs
What is the pot life of the mixed product?
The pot life depends on the ambient temperature and the specific mixing ratio. Always consult the product's technical data sheet for the exact pot life information.
Can this be used on other surfaces besides vehicle chassis?
While formulated for heavy-duty vehicle chassis, its properties may allow for use on other metal structures requiring similar protection, provided the substrate and preparation are appropriate. Consult the technical data sheet for detailed compatibility.
What is the coverage rate of this paint?
Coverage rates vary based on application thickness and method. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for estimated coverage per litre.
How long does it take to dry to touch?
The drying time is fast, but full curing takes longer. Specific drying and curing times are detailed in the product's technical data sheet and depend on temperature and humidity.
What is the recommended storage for unopened containers?
Store unopened containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure containers are tightly sealed.
What safety precautions should I take when using this product?
Always use in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and a respirator suitable for organic vapours. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full details.
Is this paint available in other colours?
Yes, this product range is available in other colours such as Blue, Grey, and Black. Please check the available variants for specific colour options.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not curing properly or remains soft.
Ensure the correct hardener and thinner were used in the precise ratio. Verify that the mixing was thorough and that the pot life was not exceeded before application.
Poor adhesion to the substrate.
Check that the surface was properly prepared, cleaned, and free from contaminants. Ensure the correct primer was used and that it was compatible with the topcoat.
Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.
This can be due to incorrect thinning, improper application technique, or applying the paint too thick. Ensure the paint is thinned to the recommended viscosity for the application method and use smooth, even strokes. Consider using a different application method like spray for a smoother finish.
Surface shows signs of corrosion after application.
The surface preparation may have been inadequate, or the primer did not provide sufficient corrosion inhibition. Ensure all rust was removed and a suitable anti-corrosive primer was applied before the topcoat.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides excellent, long-lasting protection against corrosion and environmental factors.
- Suitable for a wide range of metal surfaces common in vehicle chassis.
- The fast-drying formula speeds up the application process.
- High heat resistance makes it suitable for engines or exhaust areas.
- Versatile application methods allow for flexibility in different workshop environments.
Cons
- Requires specific hardener and thinner for proper curing and performance, increasing complexity.
- Semi-gloss finish may not be suitable for all aesthetic preferences or specific fleet requirements.
- Application may require specialized equipment for optimal results, especially for electrostatic or Airmix methods.
- Two-component system necessitates accurate mixing ratios to avoid performance issues.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease, oil, or old paint flakes.
- Prepare the surface according to recommended industry standards for painting steel, galvanised steel, or aluminium.
- Mix the paint, hardener, and thinner in the specified ratios. Typically, this involves combining the 1.10L paint component with 0.19L of hardener and 0.15L of thinner for the 1.10L kit. *Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for precise mixing ratios and pot life.* Stir thoroughly until a uniform consistency is achieved.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for application over primed steel, primed galvanised steel, and primed aluminium.
- Ensure any existing paint or primer is compatible with polyurethane acrylic coatings.
Care:
- The coating is heat resistant up to 180°C once fully cured.
- Clean surfaces using mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
