Product Information
Full details
The Ft Paints RT 2K PU Topcoat is designed for professionals and serious DIYers seeking a durable, high-performance finish for vehicles, machinery, and metal structures. Its key benefit is superior resistance to mechanical and chemical stress, ensuring longevity in demanding environments. A potential caveat is its 2K system, which requires careful mixing and handling. This waterborne polyurethane coating offers a semi-gloss finish with excellent UV and weather resistance, along with outstanding solvent and scratch resistance, making it ideal for industrial and commercial applications. The 20L kit includes paint, hardener, and thinner for comprehensive application.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of the mixed product?
The pot life of the mixed 2K product is limited. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific pot life information after mixing components.
Can this product be applied with a brush or roller?
While spraying is recommended for an optimal finish, application with a high-quality brush or roller might be possible for certain areas. However, this can affect the final appearance and requires specific techniques to avoid brush marks or roller texture.
What is the recommended temperature for application?
The ideal application temperature is typically between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid applying in temperatures below 10°C or above 30°C, and when humidity is very high, as this can impact drying and curing.
How long does it take to achieve full hardness?
The coating is dust-dry in 1-1.5 hours. Full cure, meaning the coating reaches its maximum hardness and resistance properties, typically takes 7-8 days.
Is this product suitable for food contact surfaces?
This product is designed for industrial and mechanical applications and is not certified for food contact. Please consult the technical data sheet or manufacturer for specific certifications.
What is the coverage rate?
Coverage rate depends on application method and substrate porosity. Consult the technical data sheet for specific coverage guidelines based on recommended film thickness.
Can I apply this over an existing paint system?
It is compatible with WEP Primers. If applying over an existing paint system, ensure it is sound, clean, and properly prepared, and consider adhesion testing. It's generally best to use recommended primers for optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or runs
Adjust spray gun pressure, distance, and speed. Ensure proper mixing ratio and viscosity. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Poor adhesion
Verify surface preparation is adequate (clean, dry, free of contaminants). Ensure compatibility with WEP primers and correct application of primer and topcoat.
Coating not drying properly
Check ambient temperature and humidity, as these can affect drying times. Ensure correct mixing ratio of paint and hardener. Verify the thinner used is compatible.
Surface appears duller than expected
Confirm the correct product variant (semi-gloss vs. matt). Ensure adequate film build and proper application technique to achieve uniform sheen.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High resistance to mechanical stress, chemicals, solvents, and scratches.
- Excellent UV and weather resistance for outdoor durability.
- Suitable for high-temperature environments (short-term up to 180°C).
- Extended open time aids in application, especially on large areas.
- Fast drying times contribute to efficient workflows.
Cons
- Requires precise mixing of 2K components (paint, hardener, thinner).
- May require specialized application equipment for optimal results.
- Full cure time (7-8 days) necessitates careful handling of the coated object.
- Waterborne nature requires specific application conditions and substrate preparation.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the application area is well-ventilated and free from dust. Properly mix the 20L kit components: 13.3 L of Paint, 3.3 L of Hardener, and 3.4 L of Thinner. Follow the manufacturer's recommended mixing ratio precisely. Apply using appropriate spraying equipment (e.g., HVLP or airless sprayers) for best results.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with WEP Primers. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared before application. For optimal adhesion, use appropriate WEP primers recommended for the substrate.
Care: Once fully cured, the surface is highly resistant. Clean using mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could compromise the finish. Regular cleaning will maintain the appearance and protective qualities of the coating.
