Product Information
Full details
This FT Paints RT 2K Polyurethane Texture Paint is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable, high-quality finish for industrial machinery, tools, and steel structures. Its key benefit is a resilient, semi-gloss textured coating that effectively hides surface imperfections while offering superior protection. A potential caveat is the requirement for a 2K system, which involves mixing components and may require specific application conditions. The paint offers a tough, decorative layer resistant to impacts, UV, weather, and chemicals.

FAQs
What is the coverage of the 1.10 L kit?
Coverage varies based on application thickness and surface porosity. Consult the product's technical data sheet for specific coverage rates.
Can this paint be applied with a brush or roller?
This product is primarily designed for spray application (spray gun or airless). Brush or roller application may result in an inconsistent texture and is not recommended for achieving optimal results.
What is the pot life of the mixed paint?
The pot life depends on the specific temperature and conditions. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for the exact recommended pot life after mixing.
How long should I wait before recoating?
Recoating times depend on environmental conditions and the previous coat's state. Refer to the technical data sheet for specific recoat windows to ensure proper intercoat adhesion.
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
Yes, the paint is UV and weather resistant, making it reliable for outdoor durability on suitable substrates.
What type of thinner should be used?
The 1.10 L kit includes a specific thinner (0.15 L). If additional thinner is needed, use a compatible polyurethane-grade thinner as specified in the product documentation.
Can I use this on automotive vehicles?
While engineered for industrial applications, some users may find it suitable for certain vehicle components where a durable, textured finish is desired, especially for commercial vehicles. Always test on a small area first.
Troubleshooting
Paint not drying or curing properly
Ensure the correct mixing ratio of paint and hardener. Check ambient temperature and humidity, as they can affect curing. Verify the product has not expired.
Uneven texture or finish
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, nozzle size) and maintain a consistent distance and speed during application. Ensure the paint mixture is homogeneous.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Verify the surface was adequately prepared (cleaned, degreased, free of rust/old paint). Use a suitable primer if necessary for the substrate.
Runs or sags in the finish
Apply thinner coats rather than one heavy coat. Reduce spray gun pressure or increase application speed. Ensure the paint viscosity is within the recommended range.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a durable, textured finish that hides surface defects.
- Excellent resistance to impacts, UV rays, weather, chemicals, and solvents.
- High adhesion ensures a lasting bond on metal surfaces.
- Suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
- Offers a professional decorative appearance along with protection.
Cons
- Requires mixing of two components (2K system), demanding precise ratios.
- May require specialized application equipment and safety precautions.
- The textured finish might not be suitable for all aesthetic preferences.
- Application conditions (temperature, humidity) can affect the final result.
- Cleanup may require specific solvents suitable for polyurethane paints.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and dust. Remove any rust or loose paint.
- Thoroughly mix the paint (0.76 L), hardener (0.19 L), and thinner (0.15 L) in the specified 0.76:0.19:0.15 ratio for the 1.10 L kit. Mix until a uniform consistency is achieved.
- Allow the mixture to 'pot life' or 'induction time' as recommended by the manufacturer (refer to product data sheet for exact times).
- Apply using a spray gun or airless spray equipment. Ensure proper ventilation and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Compatibility:
This paint is designed for direct application to properly prepared metal surfaces, including steel and ferrous metals. It is not recommended for use on plastics or flexible surfaces without appropriate primers.
Care:
Clean applied surfaces with mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the coating. For any spills or contact, clean up immediately with appropriate thinners before the paint cures.
