FAQs
What is the shelf life of the unmixed components?
Unmixed components typically have a shelf life of at least one year when stored in their original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
How long does the paint take to be fully cured?
Under standard conditions (e.g., 20°C and 50% relative humidity), the paint achieves a full cure in approximately 7 to 8 days.
Can this paint be applied over existing paint?
Yes, it can be applied over sound, well-adhered existing paint systems after proper surface preparation, including cleaning and light abrasion.
What is the correct mixing ratio for the 2.75L kit?
The 2.75L kit typically consists of 1.90L paint, 0.48L hardener, and 0.37L thinner. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for the exact ratio.
Is this product suitable for interior use?
While designed for chassis, its durable and protective qualities can be suitable for certain industrial interior applications where chemical and abrasion resistance is needed. However, its yellow colour and semi-gloss finish might not be ideal for all interior aesthetics. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and curing.
What type of thinner should be used?
Use a polyurethane-compatible thinner. The product often includes a specific thinner as part of the kit, or the technical data sheet will recommend a suitable type.
How should I clean my spray equipment after use?
Clean spray equipment immediately after use with a compatible solvent or thinner as recommended by the manufacturer to prevent the coating from hardening in the equipment.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not drying or curing properly.
Ensure the correct mixing ratio of paint and hardener was used. Verify application temperature and humidity are within the recommended range. Check if the correct thinner was used and if over-thinning occurred.
Poor adhesion to the substrate.
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it was free from grease, oil, rust, and dust. Re-clean and abrade the surface if necessary before reapplication.
Uneven finish or visible brush/spray marks.
Adjust application technique, spray pattern, or brush pressure. Ensure the paint has the correct viscosity, thinning if required. Use appropriate application tools for the surface area.
Sagging or runs in the coating.
The paint was applied too thickly or too quickly. Apply thinner, multiple coats rather than one heavy coat. Allow adequate flash-off time between coats if spraying.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides robust, long-lasting protection for commercial vehicle chassis.
- Excellent resistance to corrosion, weather, UV, and solvents.
- Achieves a professional, semi-gloss finish with good coverage.
- Suitable for high-temperature environments and adheres well to multiple metal types.
- Fast drying time improves application efficiency.
Cons
- Requires two-component mixing, demanding precise ratios for optimal performance.
- Application methods may require specialized equipment for best results.
- Full cure takes 7-8 days, requiring patience before heavy use.
- Potential for hazardous fumes necessitates good ventilation and personal protective equipment.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a two-component system. Mix the paint and hardener in the precise ratio specified by the manufacturer before application. Typically, this involves combining 1.90L of paint with 0.48L of hardener. Thinning may be required depending on the application method and desired viscosity, using the recommended thinner (0.37L included in the kit). Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and existing rust or paint before application.
Compatibility:
- Substrates: Bonds effectively to steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium.
- Application Methods: Suitable for electrostatic, Airmix, Airless spray, and brush application.
- Environmental Conditions: Apply in well-ventilated areas, ideally between 10°C and 25°C, with relative humidity below 70% for optimal drying and curing.
Care:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the chassis with mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing directly on newly coated areas until fully cured.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the chassis for any signs of damage or wear, and touch up any areas as needed to maintain protective integrity.
- Storage: Store unused mixed product according to manufacturer guidelines to prevent premature curing. Unmixed components should be stored in cool, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight.
