FAQs
What is the coverage rate of this paint?
Coverage varies based on application thickness and method. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific coverage estimates.
How long does the mixed paint last once prepared?
The pot life of the mixed product depends on the specific hardener and temperature. Consult the technical data sheet for the recommended pot life.
Can this paint be applied over existing paint?
Yes, provided the existing paint is sound, clean, degreased, and lightly abraded for adhesion. For best results, consult the technical data sheet for compatibility and recommended surface preparation.
What safety precautions should I take during application?
Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and a respirator certified for organic vapors.
Is this product suitable for interior chassis applications?
While it provides excellent protection, its intended use is for heavy-duty chassis protection where exposure to elements is high. Ensure adequate ventilation if used in enclosed spaces.
What is the shelf life of the unopened product?
Unopened products typically have a shelf life of at least one year when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refer to the packaging for specific expiry dates.
Can I use a different brand of hardener or thinner?
It is strongly recommended to use only the hardener and thinner specified by FabioT. for this product to ensure proper performance and compatibility.
Troubleshooting
Coating is too thick or difficult to apply.
Ensure the correct ratio of paint, hardener, and thinner is used. Adjust thinner amount according to manufacturer's guidelines and application conditions (temperature, humidity).
Poor adhesion to the substrate.
Verify that the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and free of rust or contaminants. Ensure appropriate surface preparation and priming were conducted.
Uneven finish or brush marks.
Use appropriate application techniques for the chosen method. For brushing, use a high-quality brush and apply in consistent strokes. Ensure adequate thinning and consistent spray pattern for spraying applications.
Coating remains tacky or does not cure properly.
Check the mixing ratio of paint and hardener. Ensure the product is within its shelf life and has been stored correctly. Verify that environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) are within the recommended range for curing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) system that requires mixing the paint with the appropriate hardener and thinner at the specified ratios. Ensure thorough mixing for optimal performance. Prepare surfaces by cleaning, degreasing, and applying an appropriate primer if necessary. Use in a well-ventilated area with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and a respirator suitable for organic vapors.
Compatibility: The coating is designed to adhere well to properly prepared steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum surfaces. It is compatible with electrostatic, Airmix, Airless, and brush application methods. Ensure all application equipment is clean and suitable for use with polyurethane acrylic coatings.
Care: Once fully cured, the coated surface is durable and resistant to most common automotive fluids and cleaning agents. Clean with mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Regular inspection for damage and prompt touch-up if necessary will maintain the protective benefits.
