FAQs
What is the mixing ratio for the 1.10L kit?
The 1.10L kit contains 0.76L paint, 0.19L hardener, and 0.15L thinner. Mix these components thoroughly before application.
What surfaces can this paint be applied to?
It adheres strongly to steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium.
How long does it take to become dust-dry?
The paint is dust-dry in approximately 15 to 30 minutes under standard conditions.
What is the full cure time?
A full cure is achieved in 7 to 8 days under standard conditions.
Can this paint be used for interior applications?
While it provides excellent protection, ensure adequate ventilation and consider its specific formulation for chassis use if applying in enclosed interior spaces.

It can withstand short-term exposure up to 180°C.
How should I clean my equipment after use?
Clean application tools immediately after use with an appropriate solvent.
Troubleshooting
Paint not drying or curing properly
Ensure the correct ratio of paint, hardener, and thinner was used. Verify ambient temperature and humidity are within recommended application conditions. Check that the hardener was not expired.
Poor adhesion to surface
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Re-prepare the surface and reapply.
Uneven finish or runs
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, fluid tip) or application technique (distance, speed). Avoid applying too thickly in one coat. Ensure proper thinning if necessary.
Surface rust reappearing
The substrate may not have been adequately cleaned of existing rust or treated with a suitable primer. Ensure thorough cleaning and a corrosion-inhibiting primer if required.
