Product Information

Full details

U-Pol GRAVITEX is a professional-grade stone chip protector designed for automotive enthusiasts and body shop technicians who require a durable, long-lasting barrier against road debris and corrosion. It is an ideal solution for shielding high-impact underbody areas, offering a robust finish that maintains the integrity of vehicle panels. However, users should note that as an industrial coating, it requires proper preparation of the surface and specific spray equipment to achieve the optimal, factory-like texture.

FAQs

Can I apply this over existing paint?

Yes, as long as the existing paint is sound, clean, and has been scuffed with a fine-grit abrasive to promote mechanical adhesion.

Does GRAVITEX require thinning?

No, it is designed for use straight from the 1000 ml bottle using a standard suction feed or Schutz-style undercoating gun.

How long should I wait before painting over it?

Drying times depend on ambient temperature and thickness, but it is generally recommended to wait until the coating is touch-dry and stable before applying topcoats.

Is this product suitable for interior use?

While intended for underbody and exterior protection, it can be used for interior floor pans, provided it is top-coated to seal the finish.

Can I use a brush to apply it?

While technically possible for small touch-ups, spray application is strongly recommended to achieve the professional textured finish and uniform thickness.

Troubleshooting

Coating is running or sagging during application

Reduce the thickness of each individual pass and allow for shorter flash-off times between coats.

Texture looks inconsistent

Check air pressure settings on the applicator gun and ensure the canister is agitated thoroughly before use.

Poor adhesion to the substrate

Ensure the surface was sanded and properly degreased prior to application; ensure bare metal is primed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to stone chips and debris
  • Easily paintable to match vehicle body color
  • Provides effective sound-deadening properties
  • High-quality, professional-grade adhesion

Cons

  • Requires professional spray equipment for best results
  • Surface must be meticulously cleaned and prepped
  • Curing time may vary based on environmental humidity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is free from grease, wax, and loose paint by using a high-quality degreaser. If applying to bare metal, apply an appropriate etch primer first to ensure maximum bond strength. GRAVITEX is compatible with most standard basecoat/clearcoat systems once fully cured; verify compatibility with your specific paint brand if applying color immediately. To maintain the finish, simply clean with mild automotive soap; avoid abrasive chemicals that could degrade the cured polymer layer.
