FAQs
What is the shelf life of the mixed paint?
The pot life of the mixed 2K polyurethane paint is limited. Once mixed with the hardener, it typically needs to be applied within a specific timeframe, usually a few hours, depending on the temperature. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for exact pot life information.
Can this paint be applied with a brush?
While primarily designed for spray application, it may be possible to brush apply it on smaller areas or touch-ups. However, achieving a uniform textured finish comparable to spray application can be challenging, and brush marks may be visible.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The curing time varies based on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. It typically becomes tack-free within a few hours, but full hardness and resistance properties may take several days to develop. Consult the technical data sheet for specific curing times.
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
Yes, the RT 2K Polyurethane Texture Paint is UV and weather resistant, making it suitable for reliable outdoor durability against sunlight, rain, and harsh conditions.
What is the volume of the kit?
This specific kit contains a total volume of 1100ml, comprising 0.76 L of paint, 0.19 L of hardener, and 0.15 L of thinner.
Can I mix different colors of this paint?
While theoretically possible for experienced users to intermix colors for custom shades, it is generally recommended to use colors as provided or consult the manufacturer for guidance on color mixing to ensure consistent performance and finish.
Troubleshooting
Paint not drying or curing properly
Ensure the correct hardener and thinner were used in the specified ratios. Verify that the ambient temperature and humidity are within the recommended application range. Incomplete mixing can also cause curing issues.
Uneven or poor finish quality
Check for proper application technique and consistent spray pattern. Ensure the paint is adequately thinned and that the spray equipment is functioning correctly. Surface preparation is crucial; ensure the substrate is clean and free of contaminants.
Coating is too soft or easily scratched
This usually indicates an improper mix ratio or insufficient curing time. Allow more time for the coating to fully harden under appropriate environmental conditions. Double-check mixing instructions.
Runs or sags in the paint film
This is often caused by applying the paint too thickly, poor spray technique, or incorrect viscosity. Reduce the amount of paint applied per coat, adjust spray gun settings, and ensure proper thinning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) system, meaning the paint must be mixed with the provided hardener and thinner in the specified ratios before application. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for precise mixing ratios and induction times. Ensure the application area is well-ventilated and that you are wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection.
Compatibility: This paint is engineered for direct application onto properly prepared metal surfaces, including steel structures, industrial machinery, tools, and lockers. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, rust, and old paint. For optimal adhesion, consider using a suitable metal primer if necessary.
Care: Once fully cured, the painted surface is easy to maintain. Clean with mild detergents and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Routine cleaning will help preserve the paint's protective qualities and appearance.
