FAQs

What is the mix ratio for the paint, hardener, and thinner?

The kit bundle includes pre-measured volumes of paint, hardener, and thinner designed for a specific mix ratio. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet or label for precise instructions before mixing.

How long does it take for the chassis paint to fully cure?

The paint becomes dust-dry in 15-30 minutes, but it requires a full cure time of approximately 7-8 days for maximum hardness and durability.

Can this paint be applied over existing paint?

It is generally recommended to apply over a properly prepared bare metal surface or a compatible primer. Consult the product's technical data sheet for specific compatibility with existing coatings.

What temperature range is suitable for application?

Application is best performed within a temperature range specified by the manufacturer, typically between 10°C and 30°C, to ensure proper drying and curing.

How should I clean my equipment after use?

Clean spray equipment immediately after use with a suitable solvent recommended by the manufacturer to prevent the coating from hardening in the lines and gun.

What is the shelf life of the product?

Unmixed components typically have a shelf life of at least one year when stored in original, unopened containers in a cool, dry place. Refer to the container for specific expiry dates.

Does this product contain lead or chromates?

This product contains zinc phosphate for corrosion protection. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information on its chemical composition.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick for spraying

Adjust viscosity by adding the recommended thinner according to the product's technical data sheet for the chosen application method.

Poor adhesion to substrate

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease, oil, or rust. A suitable primer may be necessary for optimal adhesion.

Uneven finish or "orange peel"

Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, fan pattern, flow rate) and maintain consistent distance and speed during application. Ensure correct product viscosity.

Product does not harden properly

Verify that the correct hardener was mixed in the precise ratio specified by the manufacturer. Ensure ambient temperature is within the recommended range for curing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent, long-lasting protection for vehicle chassis.
  • Active corrosion prevention due to zinc phosphate content.
  • Durable semi-gloss finish resists damage and weathering.
  • Suitable for a wide range of application techniques.
  • Good adhesion to common chassis materials like steel and aluminum.

Cons

  • Requires a full cure time of 7-8 days for maximum durability.
  • The 20L kit size may be excessive for smaller projects.
  • Requires proper ventilation and safety equipment due to chemical nature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a 2K (two-component) system. The paint, hardener, and thinner are provided in specific ratios within the kit. Ensure proper mixing ratios as per manufacturer instructions before application. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection, in a well-ventilated area.

Compatibility: This product is designed for direct application onto properly prepared steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium surfaces. It is not recommended for use on flexible plastics or surfaces not intended for heavy-duty coating.

Application Methods: Suitable for electrostatic, Airmix, Airless spray, and brush application. Adjust viscosity with the included thinner for optimal spraying results.

Care: Once fully cured, the finish is durable and requires minimal specific care beyond regular vehicle cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the semi-gloss surface. Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use to maintain product integrity.
