FAQs
What is the correct mixing ratio for the 20.0L kit?
The 20.0L kit contains 13.8L of paint, 3.4L of hardener, and 2.8L of thinner. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for the precise mixing ratios, as variations may occur for different application methods or conditions.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The coating achieves dust-dry in 15-30 minutes. However, it requires a full cure of 7-8 days under standard conditions (e.g., 20°C and 50% relative humidity) to reach its maximum hardness and chemical resistance.
Can this paint be applied by brush?
Yes, the FT 2K PU265 HS Chassis Topcoat is suitable for brush application, along with electrostatic, Airmix, and Airless methods. Ensure even application to avoid brush marks.
What surfaces can this topcoat be applied to?
It offers strong adhesion to properly prepared steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum surfaces. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants.
Is this product suitable for high-temperature environments?
Yes, it is heat resistant and can withstand short-term exposure up to 180°C, making it suitable for demanding conditions where components may experience elevated temperatures.
What is the shelf life of the mixed product?
Once mixed, the product has a limited pot life, meaning it must be used within a specific timeframe. Refer to the technical data sheet for the exact pot life at your application temperature.
Does this paint offer UV protection?
Yes, the coating offers outstanding resistance to UV rays and outdoor exposure, contributing to its long-lasting performance and color retention.
Troubleshooting
Poor adhesion to substrate
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and dry. Verify that the correct primer has been used and applied according to its specifications. Abrade the surface if necessary.
Uneven finish or sags
Check application technique, spray gun settings (pressure, tip size), and distance from the surface. Reduce coat thickness or adjust thinner ratio if the product is too thin. Ensure proper mixing of components.
Coating remains soft after intended cure time
Verify correct mixing ratio of paint, hardener, and thinner. Ensure application temperature is within the recommended range (typically 10°C - 25°C). Check that the product has not expired and has been stored correctly.
Inconsistent color or gloss level
Ensure thorough mixing of the base paint before adding hardener and thinner. Apply coats evenly and consistently. Avoid over-thinning or under-thinning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) system that requires mixing the paint, hardener, and thinner in the correct proportions as specified by FT Paints. Ensure adequate ventilation during mixing and application. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including respirator, gloves, and eye protection.
Compatibility: The primer should be suitable for 2K polyurethane systems and prepared according to its manufacturer's instructions. The paint is designed to adhere to properly prepared steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum surfaces. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and contaminants before application. Not recommended for use on plastics or flexible materials without appropriate surface preparation and primers.
Care: Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Recommended storage temperature is between 5°C and 25°C. Once mixed, the pot life of the product will be limited, so only mix the amount that can be used within that time.
