FAQs
What is the mixing ratio for the 20.0L kit?
The 20.0L kit typically consists of 13.8L of Paint, 3.4L of Hardener, and 2.8L of Thinner. Always confirm the exact ratio on the product label or technical data sheet before mixing.
How long does it take for the paint to fully cure?
The paint is dust-dry in 15-30 minutes but requires approximately 7-8 days for a full cure under standard conditions (e.g., 20°C and 50% relative humidity).
Can this paint be applied with a brush?
Yes, the FabioT. 2K PU265 HS Chassis Paint is suitable for brush application, along with electrostatic, Airmix, and Airless spray methods.
What surfaces can this paint be applied to?
It bonds well to steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum. Proper surface preparation is crucial for optimal adhesion.
Is this paint resistant to chemicals?
Yes, it offers outstanding resistance to solvents and other chemicals, making it ideal for heavy-duty chassis protection.
What is the finish of this paint?
The paint provides a durable semi-gloss finish.
What safety precautions should I take when using this product?
Always use in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and a respirator rated for organic vapors.
Troubleshooting
Paint not drying properly or staying tacky.
Ensure correct mixing ratios of paint, hardener, and thinner. Verify ambient temperature and humidity are within recommended application range. Insufficient air circulation can also hinder drying.
Poor adhesion to the surface.
Surface preparation may be inadequate. Ensure the metal is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or rust. Consider using a compatible primer if applying to bare or difficult substrates.
Uneven finish or visible brush marks.
This can be due to improper application technique or incorrect thinner viscosity. If brushing, use appropriate tools and techniques. If spraying, ensure correct nozzle size, pressure, and spray pattern. Thinning may need adjustment based on application method and conditions.
Sagging or running during application.
Coats may be applied too thickly. Reduce the amount of paint applied per coat and allow adequate flash-off time between coats. Ensure proper thinning for the application method.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Proper setup involves ensuring a clean, well-ventilated workspace. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as chemical-resistant gloves, safety glasses or goggles, and a respirator suitable for organic vapors and particulates is mandatory. Accurately mix the components (paint, hardener, thinner) in the recommended proportions before application. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for exact mixing ratios.
Compatibility:
This coating is designed to adhere to properly prepared steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum surfaces. It is recommended to use a compatible primer for optimal adhesion, especially on non-ferrous metals or previously painted surfaces.
Care:
Once fully cured, the chassis surface can be cleaned using mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the coating. Regularly inspect the painted surface for any signs of damage and touch up as needed to maintain protective integrity.
