Product Information
Full details
This guide is for owners of commercial vehicles, trucks, and fleets needing robust chassis protection. The key benefit is superior, long-lasting defense against corrosion and environmental damage with a semi-gloss finish. A potential caveat is the requirement for proper mixing and application techniques for optimal results. This 2750ml kit provides a high-build polyurethane acrylic coating designed for heavy-duty use, featuring zinc phosphate reinforcement for active rust prevention, and offering excellent resistance to weather, UV, and solvents. It includes paint, hardener, and thinner for a complete solution.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of the mixed product?
The pot life of the mixed product is limited. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific pot life information, as it varies based on temperature.
Do I need a primer before applying this paint?
While the paint offers good adhesion, a compatible primer is often recommended for optimal performance and longevity, especially on bare metal surfaces. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines for primer recommendations.
What safety precautions should I take during application?
Use in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and a respirator suitable for organic vapors and particulates.
How much area can 2750ml cover?
Coverage varies based on application method and surface porosity. Consult the product's technical data sheet for estimated coverage rates per liter or gallon.
Can this paint be used on painted surfaces?
Yes, it can bond to existing well-adhered paint surfaces if they are properly cleaned and prepared (e.g., lightly abraded). Ensure compatibility with the existing coating.
What is the difference between this and a single-component paint?
This is a 2K (two-component) system, meaning it requires mixing a hardener with the base paint. This chemical reaction creates a much more durable, resistant, and long-lasting finish compared to single-component paints.
What is the full cure time?
Under standard conditions, the paint achieves a full cure in approximately 7-8 days. Avoid subjecting the coating to heavy stress or harsh conditions until fully cured.
Troubleshooting
Paint not drying properly
Ensure correct mixing ratios of paint, hardener, and thinner. Check ambient temperature and humidity; application in extreme conditions can affect drying times.
Poor adhesion to surface
Verify that the surface was thoroughly cleaned and prepared before application. Ensure compatibility with the substrate (steel, galvanized steel, aluminum) and that no contaminants were present.
Uneven finish or runs
Adjust application technique (spray pattern, distance, speed) or method. Ensure proper viscosity through correct thinning. Avoid over-application in single coats.
Coating failure under heat
Confirm that the temperature exposure does not exceed the short-term limit of 180°C. Ensure the product is applied to a clean, properly prepared surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) system. It is crucial to accurately mix the paint, hardener, and thinner in the specified proportions. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for exact ratios. Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or previous coatings that may interfere with adhesion. Recommended application methods include electrostatic, Airmix, Airless, and brush.
Compatibility: The paint reliably bonds to steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium. Ensure surfaces are properly prepared (e.g., abraded if necessary) for optimal adhesion.
Care: Once fully cured, the finish is durable. Clean with mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could degrade the coating. Regular inspection for damage and prompt touch-ups will maintain the protective integrity.
