Full details
The FabioT. RT 2K Polyurethane Texture Paint is a premium, semi-gloss textured topcoat designed for professionals seeking a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish for industrial machinery, components, tools, and steel structures. Its key benefit is providing a resilient, defect-hiding coating that offers excellent resistance to impact, UV, weather, chemicals, and solvents. A primary consideration is that it requires specific application techniques and conditions due to its 2K polyurethane-acrylic formula.

FAQs
What is the total volume in the 1100ml kit?
The 1100ml kit contains 0.76L (760ml) of paint, 0.19L (190ml) of hardener, and 0.15L (150ml) of thinner.
Can this paint be applied with a brush?
While primarily designed for spray application (spray gun and airless equipment), brush application might be possible for small touch-ups, but achieving a uniform textured finish can be challenging. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
How long does the paint take to dry and cure?
Drying and curing times vary significantly based on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific drying and recoat times. Full hardness is typically achieved after several days.
Is this paint suitable for automotive use?
This paint is designed for industrial machinery, tools, lockers, and steel structures. While it can be used on commercial vehicles, it may not meet the specific aesthetic or performance requirements for all automotive applications.
What kind of surface preparation is required?
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, rust, and old, flaking paint. Light abrasion may be necessary. For bare metal, applying an appropriate industrial primer is recommended for optimal adhesion and corrosion protection.
Can I store mixed paint?
No, once the paint and hardener are mixed, they have a limited pot life. Use the mixture within the time specified by the manufacturer before it begins to harden in the container.
What is the difference between semi-gloss and satin matt?
The product description mentions a 'Semi-gloss textured finish' that creates a 'Satin Matt coating'. This suggests the final appearance is a low-sheen, matte texture that is not high-gloss but has a subtle sheen rather than being completely flat. The term 'semi-gloss' in the description likely refers to its overall durability and protective qualities, not its final visual sheen level which is described as satin matt.
Troubleshooting
Paint not hardening or curing properly
Ensure the correct ratio of paint to hardener was used. Verify the hardener is within its shelf life and has been stored correctly. Check ambient temperature; curing may be slow in cold conditions.
Uneven texture or finish
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, fan pattern, distance) and application speed. Ensure proper mixing to distribute the texturizing agents evenly. Check for blockages in the spray equipment.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Verify the surface was properly prepared – it must be clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Consider using a suitable industrial primer if not already applied. Ensure the paint was applied within its recoat window if multiple coats are needed.
Runs or sags during application
Apply thinner coats rather than one heavy coat. Reduce spray gun distance or increase application speed. Ensure the correct thinner is used for the ambient temperature.
Pros and Cons

- May require surface preparation for best adhesion.
- Not intended for consumer-grade DIY projects without professional guidance.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) product, meaning it requires mixing the paint with a hardener and potentially thinner in specific ratios before application. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for exact mixing proportions. Ensure the application area is well-ventilated and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection.
Compatibility: The paint is specifically formulated for metal surfaces such as industrial machinery, components, tools, lockers, and steel structures. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and old paint. For best results, prime bare metal surfaces with an appropriate industrial primer.
Care: Once cured, the finish is highly durable and resistant. Cleaning can typically be done with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the coating.
