Full details
This 2.75 L kit of FabioT. RT 2K Polyurethane Texture Paint in Basalt Grey is designed for professionals and serious DIYers needing a durable, attractive finish for industrial machinery, tools, lockers, and steel structures. Its key benefit is a resilient semi-gloss textured coating that hides imperfections and offers superior protection against impact, UV, weather, and chemicals. A minor caveat is that it requires specific application equipment and a 2K mixing process, making it less suitable for novice users or small, simple projects.

FAQs
What is the coverage rate of this paint?
Coverage rates can vary based on application method and surface porosity. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific coverage estimates.
What is the shelf life of the mixed paint?
Once mixed, the pot life of 2K paints is limited. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the specific pot life at the recommended temperature.
Can this paint be applied with a brush or roller?
While designed for spray application, it may be possible to use specialized rollers or brushes. However, achieving the intended textured finish consistently can be challenging and is not recommended for optimal results.
What is the drying time?
Drying and recoat times depend on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Consult the product's technical data sheet for specific drying times.
How do I store unused mixed paint?
Unused mixed paint cannot be stored. 2K paints have a limited pot life after mixing and must be used within that timeframe.
Is this paint suitable for automotive bodies?
While designed for commercial vehicles, its primary application is for industrial machinery and structures. For automotive bodies requiring a high-gloss finish, specific automotive paints might be more appropriate.
What safety precautions should I take when using this product?
Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and a respirator suitable for organic vapours and particulates.
Troubleshooting
Paint not curing or hardening properly
Ensure the correct ratio of paint to hardener was used and mixed thoroughly. Verify that the hardener has not expired and was stored correctly. Check ambient temperature and humidity; curing may be affected by extreme conditions.
Uneven texture or finish
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, nozzle size) and application technique. Ensure paint viscosity is correct by adding the specified amount of thinner if needed. Apply in consistent, overlapping passes.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Ensure the substrate was properly prepared (cleaned, degreased, and free from rust or old paint). If necessary, apply an appropriate primer recommended for the substrate and this paint system.
Runs or drips during application
Reduce the amount of paint applied per coat. Increase spray gun distance or reduce fluid delivery. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Colour mismatch
Verify the correct product code and colour variant were selected. Note that colours can appear differently under various lighting conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) system. Before application, the paint, hardener, and thinner must be accurately measured and thoroughly mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and dust. Priming may be necessary depending on the substrate and desired finish.
Compatibility: Suitable for application on industrial machinery, components, lockers, tools, and steel structures. It is designed for use with spray gun and airless equipment. Always perform a test patch on an inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility with the surface and application method.
Care: Clean application equipment immediately after use with appropriate solvents. For the coated surface, clean with mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance and protective properties of the coating.
