Full details
The FabioT. RT 2K Polyurethane Texture Paint is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing a durable, high-quality finish for industrial machinery, components, tools, and steel structures. Its key benefit is a tough, semi-gloss textured coating that effectively hides surface imperfections while providing excellent protection against impacts, UV rays, weather, and chemicals. A potential caveat is that it's a 2K system requiring proper mixing and application techniques for optimal results.

FAQs
What is the recommended application method for this paint?
This paint is suitable for application with a spray gun or airless spray equipment. Ensure you follow the manufacturer's guidelines for pressure and nozzle size.
How long does the mixed paint last (pot life)?
The pot life of a 2K system is limited after mixing the components. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for the specific pot life, as it varies based on temperature and volume.
Can this paint be used on wood or plastic surfaces?
This product is specifically formulated for metal surfaces like industrial machinery, components, tools, and steel structures. It may not adhere properly or perform as expected on wood or plastic without appropriate primers.
What safety precautions should I take when using this paint?
Always use this product in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection, as it contains solvents and is a 2K system.
How do I clean up spray equipment after use?
Clean spray guns and other application equipment immediately after use with an appropriate solvent recommended for polyurethane paints.
What is the advantage of the textured finish?
The textured finish helps to hide minor surface imperfections, providing a more uniform and professional appearance. It can also offer improved grip on certain items.
What is the difference between the semi-gloss and satin matt finishes?
Semi-gloss offers a moderate sheen, while satin matt provides a lower, more subdued level of gloss. Both help to hide imperfections, but the visual effect differs.
Troubleshooting
Paint not curing properly
Verify the correct mixing ratio of paint, hardener, and thinner. Ensure adequate temperature during application and curing. Check that the hardener has not expired.
Uneven texture or finish
Ensure thorough mixing before application. Adjust spray gun pressure and technique. Check for blockages in the spray equipment. Ensure consistent application speed.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Thoroughly clean and prepare the surface, removing all contaminants like grease, oil, or rust. Use an appropriate primer if necessary. Ensure the surface is completely dry before application.
Runs or sags in the finish
Apply thinner coats rather than one heavy coat. Reduce spray gun distance or increase application speed. Ensure the paint mixture is not too thin.
Surface defects showing through
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and is as smooth as possible before painting. Apply a second coat if necessary, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the product is at the correct temperature before mixing.
- Strictly follow the mixing ratio for paint, hardener, and thinner as specified on the product container or technical data sheet. Improper ratios will affect performance and curing.
- Mix thoroughly until a uniform consistency is achieved.
- Allow the mixture to *induct* (or *sweat in*) for the recommended time before application.
Compatibility:
- Designed for metal surfaces, including industrial machinery, components, tools, lockers, and steel structures.
- Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, rust, and previous coatings that may interfere with adhesion.
- May be used over appropriate primers for enhanced performance.
Care:
- Clean application equipment immediately after use with an appropriate solvent.
- For finished surfaces, clean gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the coating.
- Store unused mixed product in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources, as it has a limited pot life.
