Product Information
Full details
This 5.50 L kit of FabioT. RT 2K Polyurethane Texture Paint is designed for professionals seeking a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish for industrial machinery, tools, lockers, and steel structures. Its key benefit is the semi-gloss textured coating that effectively hides surface imperfections while providing robust protection. A primary consideration is the requirement for a 2K system, meaning a hardener and thinner are included and must be mixed correctly for optimal performance.

FAQs
What is a 2K Polyurethane-Acrylic topcoat?
A 2K (two-component) system means the paint requires a separate hardener to initiate the chemical curing process. This results in a more durable, resistant, and long-lasting finish compared to single-component paints.
How do I mix the paint kit?
The kit contains paint, hardener, and thinner. You must mix them in the precise proportions recommended by the manufacturer. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for the exact mixing ratios. Improper mixing will lead to failure.
Can this paint be applied with a brush?
While primarily designed for spray application (spray gun or airless), brushing might be possible for small touch-ups. However, achieving the intended textured finish and uniformity may be challenging. Refer to the manufacturer's guidance for brush application.
What kind of surface preparation is needed?
Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and free from rust, dust, and old, loose paint. Depending on the substrate and desired outcome, a compatible primer may be required for optimal adhesion and performance.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying and curing times depend on factors like temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific drying times (e.g., touch dry, recoat time, full cure).
Is this paint suitable for automotive use?
While the description mentions 'Commercial Vehicles' and 'industrial machinery,' its primary design is for industrial and heavy-duty applications. For specific automotive OEM or refinishing, confirm compatibility with automotive standards.
What is the shelf life of the mixed product?
Once mixed, the product has a limited pot life (working time) during which it must be applied. This time varies based on temperature. Unmixed components should be stored in a cool, dry place as per manufacturer recommendations.
Troubleshooting
Paint not hardening or curing properly
Ensure the correct ratio of paint, hardener, and thinner was used. Verify the hardener has not expired and was stored correctly. Check ambient temperature and humidity, as curing can be affected by conditions outside the recommended range.
Uneven texture or poor finish quality
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, nozzle size) and application technique. Ensure the paint mixture is homogeneous and properly thinned. Check for potential blockages in the spray equipment.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Verify that the substrate was properly cleaned, degreased, and prepared before application. Ensure any necessary primer was used and is compatible. Avoid applying to damp or contaminated surfaces.
Runs or sags in the finish
Reduce the amount of paint applied per coat. Increase the distance between the spray gun and the surface. Allow adequate flash-off time between coats. Ensure the material is not applied too thickly.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This product is a 5.50 L Kit containing 3.81 L of paint, 0.95 L of hardener, and 0.74 L of thinner. Proper mixing is crucial for the 2K system. Ensure the paint, hardener, and thinner are mixed in the correct proportions as specified by the manufacturer's technical data sheet. Use clean mixing equipment. Allow for the recommended induction time after mixing if specified.
Compatibility:
This polyurethane-acrylic topcoat is designed for application over properly prepared metal surfaces. It is suitable for industrial machinery, components, lockers, tools, and steel structures. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, rust, and old paint. A suitable primer may be necessary depending on the substrate and desired finish.
Application:
Suitable for application via spray gun or airless spraying equipment. Adjust viscosity with the included thinner as needed for optimal spray application. Apply in a well-ventilated area.
Care:
To maintain the finish, clean surfaces with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the coating. Periodically inspect for any signs of wear or damage and touch up as needed following proper preparation and application procedures.
