Yes, the FabioT. FT Paints 2K PU265 HS Chassis Topcoat is suitable for brush application, alongside electrostatic, Airmix, and Airless methods.
What surfaces can this chassis paint be applied to?
It offers strong adhesion to steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium surfaces when properly prepared.
What is the temperature resistance of this coating?
The coating can withstand short-term exposure to temperatures up to 180°C.
How should I clean my equipment after using this product?
Clean application equipment immediately after use with a suitable solvent recommended for polyurethane coatings.
Does this coating offer rust protection?
Yes, it is reinforced with zinc phosphate, providing active corrosion protection.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or poor coverage
Ensure correct mixing ratios, proper application technique (e.g., consistent spray pattern), and adequate surface preparation. Check for blockages in spray equipment.
Coating is not hardening properly
Verify that the correct hardener was used and mixed in the precise ratio. Ensure the ambient temperature is within the recommended application range. Check the product's shelf life.
Poor adhesion to the substrate
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from rust, grease, or old coatings. Consider using a suitable primer if applying to challenging surfaces.
Excessive sagging or running
This is often due to applying the coating too thickly, improper spray gun settings, or working in excessive temperatures. Reduce coat thickness and adjust application parameters.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional durability for heavy-duty applications.
- Superior corrosion and UV resistance extends the lifespan of chassis.
- Professional semi-gloss finish enhances appearance.
- Strong adhesion to common vehicle chassis materials.
- Suitable for various professional application methods.
Cons
- Requires precise mixing of paint, hardener, and thinner.
- Long full cure time of 7-8 days needs consideration for project planning.
- Application may require specialized equipment for optimal results.
- Specific surface preparation is critical for proper adhesion.
- Potential for VOC emissions requiring adequate ventilation.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a two-component system (2K) requiring the paint, hardener, and thinner to be mixed in the correct proportions before application. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for precise mixing ratios, typically indicated by volume. Ensure a well-ventilated area for mixing and application.
Compatibility: The coating is designed for direct application onto properly prepared steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium surfaces. It is crucial that the substrate is clean, dry, and free from contaminants such as grease, oil, or existing loose paint. For best results, apply over a suitable primer if required by the specific substrate or desired performance.
Care: Clean application equipment immediately after use with a suitable solvent. Store the mixed product within its pot life, as indicated by the manufacturer. Unmixed components should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition.
