FAQs
What is the best way to apply this chassis paint?
The paint is versatile and can be applied via electrostatic, Airmix, Airless spray, or brush. For best results on larger areas, spray application is recommended. Ensure proper surface preparation and adhere to mixing ratios for 2K systems.
How much area can 100ml cover?
The coverage varies depending on application thickness and surface porosity. 100ml is a sample size, best suited for touch-ups or very small areas. Consult the technical data sheet for precise coverage rates for larger volumes.
Can this paint be used on painted surfaces?
It is designed for direct application to bare metal (steel, galvanized steel, aluminum). If applying over existing paint, ensure the old paint is sound, clean, and properly prepared (e.g., scuffed) or a suitable primer is used.
What is the pot life of the mixed paint?
The pot life (working time after mixing the 2K components) is dependent on the specific hardener and ambient temperature. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for the exact pot life.
Is this paint suitable for high-heat areas?
Yes, the coating is heat resistant up to 180°C, making it suitable for areas near engine components or exhaust systems, provided they do not exceed this temperature.
How long does it take to cure?
The paint is fast-drying, but full cure times for maximum durability will vary based on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Check the product's technical data sheet for specific curing information.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate PPE, including solvent-resistant gloves, safety glasses, and a respirator approved for organic vapors and particulates.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering to surface
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or rust. A proper primer may be required for optimal adhesion. Verify that the substrate is compatible (steel, galvanized steel, aluminum).
Poor coverage or thin film
Check the mixing ratio of the 2K components. Ensure the paint is applied at the recommended film thickness. Reduce the application rate or increase the number of coats if necessary.
Uneven finish or texture
Ensure consistent application technique with chosen method (spray or brush). Check for blockages in spray equipment. Maintain a consistent distance and speed during spraying.
Slow drying time
Verify correct hardener is used and mixed in the proper ratio. Ensure application is done within the recommended temperature and humidity range specified by the manufacturer.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a 2K (two-component) product. Ensure proper mixing ratios are followed as per the manufacturer's specific instructions for the 2K PU265 HS system. Typically, this involves mixing the base with a compatible hardener. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, eye protection, and a respirator in a well-ventilated area.
Compatibility:
- Surfaces: Adheres reliably to properly prepared steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum.
- Application Methods: Suitable for electrostatic, Airmix, Airless spray guns, and brush application.
Care:
To maintain the finish and protective qualities:
- Clean the coated surface with mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could degrade the coating.
- Regularly inspect for any damage and touch up promptly using the same product to prevent corrosion from compromising the substrate.
- Store any unused mixed product according to manufacturer guidelines, as mixed paint has a limited pot life.
