Product Information
Full details
This FabioT. Chassis Paint is designed for owners of trucks and commercial vehicles needing robust, long-lasting protection for their chassis. Its key benefit is superior defense against corrosion, weather, UV rays, and solvents, ensuring a durable finish. A potential caveat is that it's a two-part system requiring a hardener and thinner for application. The product offers a high-build polyurethane acrylic coating with zinc phosphate reinforcement, a semi-gloss finish, and heat resistance up to 180°C, suitable for steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium.

FAQs
What is the total volume of the kit?
The kit contains 0.76L of Paint, 0.19L of Hardener, and 0.15L of Thinner, totaling 1.10L of mixed product.
What surfaces can this paint be applied to?
It is formulated for steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium surfaces.
How do I mix the paint components?
Mix 0.76L of paint with 0.19L of hardener and 0.15L of thinner until thoroughly combined. Refer to specific mixing instructions for exact ratios if applying smaller quantities.
Is this paint suitable for high-temperature areas?
Yes, it is heat resistant up to 180°C, making it suitable for areas near engines or exhaust systems.
What kind of finish does this paint provide?
It provides a durable semi-gloss finish.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is fast-drying, but specific drying times will vary based on application thickness, temperature, and humidity. Allow adequate time for full curing before heavy use.
Does this paint offer rust protection?
Yes, it is reinforced with zinc phosphate for active corrosion protection.
Troubleshooting
Paint not drying or curing properly
Ensure correct mixing ratio of paint, hardener, and thinner. Verify ambient temperature and humidity are within recommended application ranges. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Surface preparation is critical. Ensure the metal is clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease, oil, or rust. Consider using an appropriate primer if needed.
Uneven finish or "orange peel"
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, fan pattern, fluid tip). Maintain a consistent distance from the surface and move at a steady speed. Ensure correct viscosity by adjusting thinner if necessary.
Corrosion still appearing
Ensure all rust was removed before application and that the paint was applied to sufficient thickness. Check for any missed spots or damage to the coating. The zinc phosphate provides active protection but requires a sound coating layer.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides excellent corrosion and environmental protection.
- Durable semi-gloss finish that is weather and UV resistant.
- High heat resistance suitable for demanding vehicle applications.
- Fast-drying formula reduces project time.
- Designed for easy application across different methods.
Cons
- Requires mixing with hardener and thinner, making it a two-part system.
- Specific container volume might not suit very large projects without multiple kits.
- Application may require specific safety precautions due to its chemical composition.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This product is a kit that requires mixing. Ensure you have the correct ratio of paint, hardener, and thinner (0.76L Paint : 0.19L Hardener : 0.15L Thinner). Mix thoroughly until homogenous. For optimal application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and rust. Priming might be necessary depending on the substrate and desired finish.
Compatibility: Suitable for application on steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium surfaces. Ensure compatibility with any existing coatings or primers before full application.
Care: Once cured, the surface is resistant to weather, UV, and solvents. Cleaning can be done with mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the semi-gloss finish. Regularly inspect the chassis for any signs of damage and touch up as needed.
