FAQs

How long does it take to dry?

Drying time varies based on temperature, humidity, and application thickness. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific recommendations. Generally, it is quick drying, but full curing takes longer.

Can I use this on plastic bumpers?

Yes, but only after the plastic has been properly prepared with a suitable primer or filler. Adhesion to bare plastic may be poor.

What is the best way to clean up overspray?

Clean overspray and tools immediately after application using a suitable solvent before the coating hardens.

How many coats should I apply?

Typically, 2-3 coats are recommended for optimal stoneguard and corrosion protection. The exact number depends on the desired level of protection and the surface being treated.

Will this product rust proof my vehicle?

Yes, the dried film provides excellent protection against corrosion when applied to properly prepared metal surfaces.

Can I mix it with my car's paint color?

Yes, by mixing the product with the original paint, you can color it to match any shade desired for a custom finish.

What kind of spray gun do I need?

A spray gun designed for viscous materials is recommended to ensure proper atomization and application of the thick coating.

Troubleshooting

Product not spraying evenly

Ensure the spray gun is appropriate for viscous materials and set to the correct pressure. Check for blockages in the nozzle. Maintain a consistent spray distance.

Poor adhesion or peeling

Re-evaluate surface preparation. Ensure the surface was completely clean, dry, and free of contaminants. A primer may be necessary for certain substrates.

Excessively long drying time

Ensure application occurs within recommended temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid applying too thickly, as this can impede drying.

Coating easily damaged after drying

Verify the product has been allowed to cure fully. Ensure adequate coats were applied to achieve the recommended film thickness for abrasion resistance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection against corrosion and abrasion.
  • Offers superior stone chip defense, crucial for underbody protection.
  • Can be painted over, allowing for custom finishing.
  • Reduces road noise and vibrations through anti-drumming properties.
  • Quick drying formulation saves time during application.
  • Good hiding power ensures even coverage.

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
  • Application via spraying may require specific equipment and ventilation.
  • Drying time may vary depending on environmental conditions.
  • Potential for uneven finish if not applied consistently.
  • Not suitable for all plastic types without proper priming.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry, and free from rust, grease, and loose paint. For best results, sand any rough areas and prime bare metal or certain plastics.

Application: Apply using a spray gun designed for viscous materials. Maintain an even distance from the surface and use overlapping passes for uniform coverage. Several thin coats are generally better than one thick coat. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer recommendations.

Compatibility: The dried coating adheres well to unpainted and painted sheet steel. It also adheres to plastics that have been coated with primer or filler. The product is compatible with most commercially available paint systems for overcoating.

Care: Once fully cured, the coating is resistant to abrasion and solvents. Clean tools and any accidental spills immediately after application with a suitable solvent. The finished surface can be cleaned using standard automotive cleaning methods.
