FAQs
What is the pot life of the mixed paint?
The pot life (working time after mixing) will depend on the specific hardener and ambient temperature. Always refer to the technical data sheet for precise details, but typically it ranges from 2-4 hours.
Can this paint be applied with a brush or roller?
While primarily designed for spray application, a brush or roller might be used for small touch-ups. However, achieving the intended textured finish and uniform coverage is best done with spray equipment.
How long does it take for the paint to cure fully?
Drying and curing times vary based on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. It typically becomes touch-dry within a few hours and achieves full hardness and chemical resistance within 7 days.
What is the recommended storage condition for the unopened kit?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure containers are tightly sealed.
How should I dispose of unused mixed paint or empty containers?
Dispose of in accordance with local environmental regulations for hazardous waste. Do not pour down drains or into the environment.
Is this paint suitable for automotive exteriors?
While durable, it is specifically formulated for industrial machinery and structures. For automotive exteriors, dedicated automotive paints are generally recommended for optimal finish and compatibility with automotive standards.
What is the typical coverage rate?
Coverage varies based on application method and surface porosity, but a general estimate is provided on the product's technical data sheet. Expect coverage in square meters per liter.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering properly
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and dry before application. Check for proper mixing ratios and consider using an appropriate primer if applying to a non-standard surface.
Uneven or rough texture finish
Verify spray gun settings (pressure, nozzle size) and application technique. Ensure consistent distance from the surface and even passes. Check for partial blockages in spray equipment.
Bubbling or blistering during/after application
This can be caused by moisture or solvent entrapment. Ensure the surface is completely dry and free of contaminants. Maintain appropriate application temperatures and avoid spraying in excessively humid conditions.
Product hardening in the can
This indicates improper mixing of the 2K components or a contaminated mixing vessel. Ensure components are mixed at the correct ratio and within their pot life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) system. Ensure you have the correct ratio of paint, hardener, and thinner as specified in the kit. Mix thoroughly before application. Proper safety equipment, including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection, is essential due to the chemical nature of the components. Ensure the application area is well-ventilated.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for metal surfaces such as industrial machinery, components, lockers, tools, and steel structures. It may be suitable for other substrates if properly primed. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Application: Apply using a spray gun or airless equipment. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and contaminants. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for recommended application temperatures and humidity levels.
Care: Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating. For best longevity, minimal direct chemical exposure is recommended.
