Product Information
Full details
This 1.10 L kit of FabioT. RT 2K Polyurethane Texture Paint in Grey is designed for professionals and serious DIYers seeking a durable, aesthetically pleasing finish for industrial machinery, tools, and steel structures. Its key benefit is a semi-gloss textured coating that effectively hides surface imperfections while providing robust protection against impact, UV, weather, and chemicals. A potential caveat is the requirement for 2K application, which may involve specific handling and safety procedures.

FAQs
What is the coverage rate of this paint?
Coverage varies depending on the application method and surface porosity. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for estimated coverage figures per liter.
How long does the mixed paint last (pot life)?
The pot life (or working time) of the mixed 2K system is limited. Consult the product's technical data sheet for the specific pot life at a given temperature.
Can this paint be applied with a brush or roller?
While primarily designed for spray application, it may be possible to use with specific rollers or brushes designed for high-solids coatings. However, achieving a uniform texture can be challenging. Spray application is recommended for best results.
What safety precautions are necessary when using this paint?
Due to the 2K nature and potential isocyanate content, use only in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate PPE, including a respirator, chemical-resistant gloves, and eye protection.
How should I store the unmixed product?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use.
What is the recommended recoat time?
The recoat time depends on temperature and humidity. Check the product's technical data sheet for specific recoat windows to ensure proper adhesion between coats.
Is this paint suitable for automotive bodywork?
While durable, this paint is specifically formulated for industrial machinery and structures. For automotive finishing, dedicated automotive paints are generally recommended.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not curing properly or remains soft.
Ensure the correct hardener-to-paint ratio was used and that mixing was thorough. Verify the pot life and apply within the recommended time frame. Check ambient temperature and humidity; extreme conditions can affect curing.
Uneven texture or 'mottling' effect.
Adjust spray gun distance, pressure, and flow rate. Ensure consistent application technique. Check for blockages in the spray equipment. The material may have been applied too thick or too thin.
Poor adhesion to the substrate.
Verify the surface was properly prepared and free of contaminants. Ensure the correct primer was used and is compatible with the topcoat. Check that the paint was applied within its recoat window.
Orange peel or excessive roughness.
Adjust spray viscosity by adding slightly more thinner if within recommended limits. Optimize spray pattern and overlap. Reduce spray gun speed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a durable, textured finish that hides imperfections.
- Offers excellent resistance to impact, UV, weather, chemicals, and solvents.
- High adhesion ensures a long-lasting bond on metal surfaces.
- Suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
- Two-component (2K) system for enhanced durability and performance.
Cons
- Requires specific application knowledge for 2K systems.
- Potential for VOC emissions requiring proper ventilation and PPE.
- May not be suitable for all substrate types without proper surface preparation.
- Cleanup may require specific solvents.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) system. The paint must be mixed with the included 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 proper ventilation and wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection, as this product contains isocyanates.
Compatibility: Designed for use on primed metal surfaces, including industrial machinery, components, lockers, tools, and steel structures. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and contaminants before application. For best results, use with appropriate primers compatible with polyurethane coatings.
Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with a suitable solvent (e.g., lacquer thinner or PU solvent). Avoid abrasive cleaners on the finished surface to maintain the texture and finish. For maintenance, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
