Product Information
Full details
This guide is for professionals working with commercial vehicles and trucks who need a durable, high-build coating for chassis protection. The key benefit is enhanced corrosion resistance and a long-lasting semi-gloss finish. A caveat is that proper application and mixing ratios are crucial for optimal performance. The FabioT. FT Paints 2K PU265 HS Chassis Topcoat is a two-component polyurethane acrylic coating designed for heavy-duty protection. It features zinc phosphate for active corrosion protection, offering excellent resistance to weather, UV, and solvents. Available in a 1.10L kit (0.76L paint, 0.19L hardener, 0.15L thinner), it provides a semi-gloss finish and adheres well to various metal surfaces.

FAQs
What is the correct mixing ratio for the 1.10L kit?
The 1.10L kit consists of 0.76L Paint, 0.19L Hardener, and 0.15L Thinner. Always consult the product's technical data sheet for precise mixing instructions and ratios, as variations may occur.
What surfaces can this chassis topcoat be applied to?
It adheres well to properly prepared steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium surfaces. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application.
How long does it take for the coating to fully cure?
The coating achieves dust-dry in 15-30 minutes. However, it requires approximately 7-8 days under standard conditions to reach a full cure.
Can this paint be applied with a brush?
Yes, the FabioT. FT Paints 2K PU265 HS Chassis Topcoat is suitable for brush application, in addition to electrostatic, Airmix, and Airless spray methods.
What is the heat resistance of this coating?
The coating can withstand short-term exposure to temperatures up to 180°C.
Does this product offer UV resistance?
Yes, it offers outstanding resistance to UV rays, which helps in maintaining the finish and protective qualities during outdoor exposure.
What is the finish type of this chassis topcoat?
The coating provides a semi-gloss finish.
Troubleshooting
Coating is not drying or curing properly
Verify that the paint, hardener, and thinner were mixed in the correct ratios. Ensure the ambient temperature and humidity are within the recommended application range. Insufficient mixing or incorrect proportions are common causes of curing issues.
Poor adhesion to the substrate
Check surface preparation. Ensure the metal surface was clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or rust before application. Re-sanding or re-cleaning may be necessary. Confirm compatibility with any underlying primer or substrate.
Uneven finish or spray pattern
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, fan pattern, nozzle size) according to the application method. Ensure the coating mixture is uniform and free of any contaminants or dried material. Clean spray equipment thoroughly.
Bubbling or blistering after application
This can be caused by applying the coating too thickly, high ambient temperatures, or trapped moisture/solvents. Ensure application is done within recommended film thickness and environmental conditions. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Coating appears dull instead of semi-gloss
Ensure the product was mixed thoroughly and that no incorrect thinners or additives were used that could affect the finish. Incorrect application temperature can also sometimes impact gloss levels.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides robust, long-lasting protection for commercial vehicle chassis.
- Excellent resistance to corrosion, weathering, UV, and solvents.
- Suitable for a wide range of application methods, offering user flexibility.
- Fast drying times improve application efficiency.
- Good adhesion to common metal substrates used in vehicle manufacturing.
Cons
- Requires precise mixing ratios of paint, hardener, and thinner for optimal performance.
- Two-component system necessitates careful handling and disposal.
- Full cure takes 7-8 days, requiring patience before full operational use.
- Semi-gloss finish may not be suitable for all aesthetic preferences.
- Heat resistance is for short-term exposure only.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a two-component (2K) system. It requires precise mixing of the paint, hardener, and thinner in the specified ratios before application. Typically, this involves mixing 0.76L of paint with 0.19L of hardener and 0.15L of thinner for the 1.10L kit. Always refer to the manufacturer's technical data sheet for exact mixing ratios and recommended thinners. Ensure all application equipment is clean and suitable for the chosen method (electrostatic, Airmix, Airless, or brush).
Compatibility:
The coating is designed to adhere well to prepared steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium surfaces. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease, oil, and existing rust. Mechanical abrasion or chemical cleaning may be necessary for optimal adhesion. It is recommended to test compatibility with any existing coatings or primers if not applying directly to bare metal.
Care:
Once fully cured (7-8 days), the surface is durable and requires minimal specific care beyond standard vehicle cleaning practices. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the semi-gloss finish. For maintenance, routine washing with water and mild detergents is sufficient. Regular inspection for any signs of damage or corrosion should be performed, and any compromised areas should be promptly repaired following the product's application guidelines.
