Product Information

Full details

U-Pol Gravitex is a professional-grade stone chip protection coating designed for automotive enthusiasts and body shop technicians looking to shield their vehicle's vulnerable panels from gravel, road salt, and environmental debris. The primary benefit of this product is its ability to create a tough, durable, and textured barrier that effectively resists impacts and corrosion. One important caveat is that while the formula is overpaintable, users must ensure the surface is properly prepped and the coating is fully cured before applying a topcoat to ensure proper adhesion and color matching.

FAQs

Can I apply Gravitex with a brush?

While it can be brushed for small touch-ups, it is designed for spray application to achieve a consistent professional texture.

Is this product waterproof?

Yes, once fully cured, it provides a highly effective, moisture-resistant barrier that helps prevent rust.

Do I need a primer before applying Gravitex?

Apply Gravitex directly to clean, prepared metal or sanded original paint for the best results.

How long does it take to dry?

Surface drying occurs relatively quickly, but it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours for a full cure before painting over it.

Can this be used inside the engine bay?

It is designed primarily for external underbody and lower panel use; it is not recommended for high-heat areas like the engine block.

Troubleshooting

Coating is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly degreased and sanded to provide a mechanical key for the product.

Texture looks uneven or blotchy

Adjust the air pressure on your application gun and maintain a consistent distance and speed while spraying.

Topcoat paint is peeling off the Gravitex

Ensure the Gravitex has fully cured according to the technical data sheet before applying topcoats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to road salt and gravel impacts
  • Professional textured finish mimics OEM factory appearance
  • Compatible with a wide range of topcoat paints
  • Easy to apply with standard automotive coating equipment

Cons

  • Requires professional application equipment like an undercoating gun
  • Proper surface preparation is mandatory for lasting adhesion
  • Full cure time is required before overpainting
  • Limited to a white base color before topcoat application

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results with U-Pol Gravitex, ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free of grease, wax, or loose rust. Use a degreaser before application to ensure maximum bond. The product is intended for use with a dedicated undercoating suction feed gun. When applying, maintain an even distance from the panel to ensure uniform texture. Allow for sufficient drying time—typically 24 hours depending on ambient temperature and humidity—before attempting to sand or topcoat the surface. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the contents from skinning or thickening.
