FAQs
What is the recommended surface preparation before applying Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black?
The surface must be clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and rust. For optimal adhesion and protection, applying an Eastwood primer is recommended.
What is the coverage rate of one aerosol can?
One 397ml can provides up to 8 square feet of coverage, offering significantly more coverage than many similar-sized aerosol paints.
Can this paint be used on exhaust components?
Yes, it can withstand temperatures up to 300ºF, making it suitable for many exhaust components. However, for extremely high-temperature exhaust sections, specialized exhaust paints might be more appropriate.
Does it come in different finishes?
Yes, it is available in both satin black and gloss black finishes. The satin black is designed to closely match O.E. chassis paint.
How long does the paint need to cure?
While the paint dries to the touch relatively quickly, full curing for maximum durability and fluid resistance can take 24-48 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Refer to the product label for specific curing times.
Is this paint resistant to gasoline and oil?
Yes, Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black is formulated to resist common automotive fluids, including fuel and oil, as well as solvents.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering
Ensure the can is held at the correct distance and moved at a consistent speed. Shake the can frequently during use. If the nozzle is clogged, try cleaning it with a solvent and a fine wire, or replace the can.
Paint not adhering well
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Re-clean the surface and consider applying the recommended Eastwood primer before recoating.
Runs or drips in the paint finish
Applied too heavily or from too close a distance. Remove the run with a solvent if wet, or sand it down once dry and reapply in lighter coats.
