FAQs

Do I need to prime the surface before applying Gravitex?

For best results, apply over a properly prepared, clean surface or a suitable automotive primer/sealer.

Can I apply Gravitex with a brush?

While it is designed for spray application via a Schutz gun, it can be touched up with a brush for small repairs.

How long does it take to cure?

Cure times vary based on temperature and humidity, but it typically touch-dries within an hour and requires longer for full hardening before painting.

Is this product waterproof?

Yes, once fully cured, it provides an excellent water-resistant and anti-corrosive barrier.

Can I use Gravitex on plastics?

It is primarily designed for metal surfaces. Always perform a test patch on plastic components to check for adhesion compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Poor adhesion or peeling after curing

Ensure the surface was completely free of oil, wax, and moisture before application. Re-sand the area and re-apply.

Uneven texture during spraying

Adjust the air pressure on your spray gun. Higher pressure creates a smoother finish, while lower pressure produces a coarser, more textured look.

Topcoat not drying properly over Gravitex

The Gravitex must be completely cured before painting. Ensure the ambient temperature is within the recommended range during the drying phase.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to stone chips and debris
  • Compatible with a wide range of topcoat paints
  • Provides a strong anti-corrosion barrier
  • Professional-grade consistency for easy application
  • High volume (6 liters) is ideal for comprehensive projects

Cons

  • Requires professional application equipment like a Schutz gun
  • Surface must be meticulously cleaned for proper bonding
  • Longer curing time compared to thin aerosols
  • White finish requires complete paint coverage for dark-colored vehicles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To apply Gravitex, you will need a standard automotive Schutz spray gun that connects directly to the 1000ml canisters.

  1. Surface Prep: Thoroughly clean and degrease the target area. Remove all loose rust and scuff the surface with an abrasive pad to ensure mechanical adhesion.
  2. Masking: Use automotive masking tape and paper to cover areas where you do not want the coating to adhere.
  3. Application: Apply in light, even coats. Build up the thickness gradually rather than applying one heavy, dripping layer.
  4. Curing: Allow the product to dry in a clean, ventilated area. Check for full curing before applying your chosen basecoat or topcoat.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically inspect the coated areas after severe weather or long road trips to ensure there are no deep gouges that might require a spot repair.
