FAQs

Can I use the Octoral PF131 over bare metal?

It is recommended to apply a dedicated epoxy or acid primer to bare metal before using the PF131 surfacer to ensure maximum corrosion resistance.

What is the recommended sanding grit for the final finish?

Generally, P400 to P600 is suitable for most basecoat applications depending on the paint system manufacturer's recommendations.

Is this surfacer compatible with all topcoats?

It is formulated for automotive refinish topcoats, but always perform a test panel if using a non-Octoral paint system.

Does this product require a thinner?

Yes, depending on the specific application temperature and viscosity needs, a suitable Octoral thinner should be added according to the technical data sheet.

How long should I wait before sanding?

Drying times vary based on ambient temperature and humidity; typically, it can be sanded after 2-4 hours, though overnight drying is often preferred for optimal hardness.

Troubleshooting

Surface feels rough or 'sandy' after application

Check your spray distance; moving the gun too far from the panel can cause the product to dry before it hits the surface.

Poor adhesion to the panel

Verify that the surface was properly cleaned with a wax and grease remover and adequately abraded before the surfacer was applied.

Slow cure time

Ensure the shop temperature is within the recommended range and that the mixing ratio of hardener to surfacer is accurate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High build quality reduces the need for multiple coats
  • Easy to sand once fully cured
  • Provides a stable base that prevents topcoat sinking
  • Professional grey tone improves color coverage

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade spraying equipment
  • Contains chemicals necessitating specific respiratory protection
  • Limited working time once the hardener is added

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure the surface is thoroughly degreased and sanded before application. The PF131 must be mixed strictly according to the Octoral technical data sheet with the H23 hardener to ensure proper chemical cross-linking. After spraying, clean your equipment immediately with a high-quality gun cleaner to prevent the 2K mixture from hardening inside the fluid passages. Store the components in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure lids are sealed tightly after every use to prevent moisture contamination.
