FAQs
What is the correct mixing ratio for the kit?
The kit contains 0.76L paint, 0.19L hardener, and 0.15L thinner. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for precise mixing ratios and instructions.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The coating is dust-dry in 15-30 minutes, but achieves a full cure in approximately 7-8 days under standard conditions.
Can this paint be applied with a roller?
While brush application is listed as suitable, the primary recommended methods are electrostatic, Airmix, and Airless spraying for best results. Roller application may not achieve the desired finish or film build.
What is the temperature resistance of the coating?
The coating can withstand short-term exposure to temperatures up to 180°C.
Is this product suitable for automotive bodywork?
This product is specifically formulated as a chassis topcoat for heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles, providing protection against corrosion and wear. It is not intended for general automotive body painting.
How should I prepare the surface before application?
The surface must be clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, dirt, and any other contaminants. Ensure it is suitable for coating (steel, galvanised steel, or aluminium).
What is the volume of the kit?
The kit bundle contains a total volume of 1.10 Litres (0.76L paint, 0.19L hardener, 0.15L thinner).
Troubleshooting
Product not drying properly
Ensure correct mixing ratios of paint, hardener, and thinner. Verify ambient temperature and humidity are within recommended application ranges. Insufficient ventilation can also slow drying.
Poor adhesion to surface
Check that the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free of contaminants like oil or grease). Ensure compatibility with the substrate material (steel, galvanised steel, aluminium).
Uneven finish or brush marks
Adjust thinner content for optimal viscosity. Use appropriate application technique for the chosen method (electrostatic, Airmix, Airless, brush). Apply thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat.
Coating appears duller than expected
Confirm that the product is indeed the semi-gloss variant as indicated. Ensure consistent mixing and application. Environmental factors during curing can sometimes affect sheen.
