FAQs
What is the mixing ratio for the Ft Paints 2K PU265 HS Chassis Paint?
The kit contains 1.90L Paint, 0.48L Hardener, and 0.37L Thinner. Always refer to the product data sheet for the precise mixing ratio before application.
How long does it take for the paint to be fully cured?
Under standard conditions, the paint achieves dust-dry in 15-30 minutes, but a full cure, providing maximum durability, takes approximately 7-8 days.
Can this paint be applied with a brush?
Yes, the Ft Paints 2K PU265 HS Chassis Paint is suitable for brush application, in addition to electrostatic, Airmix, and Airless spray methods.
What surfaces can this paint be applied to?
It offers strong adhesion to properly prepared steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum surfaces.
Is this paint suitable for engine components?
The paint has heat resistance up to 180°C for short-term exposure, making it suitable for chassis components that may get warm, but it is not designed for direct engine block or exhaust system exposure.
How should I clean up after using this paint?
Use appropriate thinners recommended by the manufacturer for cleaning spray equipment immediately after use. For the cured paint surface, use mild detergents and water.
What is the purpose of the zinc phosphate in the formula?
The zinc phosphate provides active corrosion protection, which helps to prevent rust formation and enhances the paint's durability, especially in harsh environments.
Troubleshooting
Paint not drying or curing properly
Ensure correct mixing ratios of paint, hardener, and thinner. Verify ambient temperature and humidity are within recommended application ranges. Check for insufficient ventilation during drying.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Verify the surface was properly prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease, oil, or existing loose paint/rust. Abrade the surface if necessary.
Uneven finish or runs during application
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, fluid tip). Maintain consistent distance and speed while spraying. Reduce application viscosity if too thick.
Rust appearing through the coating
This may indicate inadequate surface preparation or a lack of sufficient zinc phosphate coverage. Ensure the surface was completely free of rust and that the product was applied at the recommended film thickness.
