FAQs
What is the recommended mixing ratio for the 20.0L kit?
The 20.0L kit includes 13.8L of paint, 3.4L of hardener, and 2.8L of thinner. Always refer to the product's technical data sheet for the precise mixing ratio, as it can vary based on application method and environmental conditions. Typically, a 2K system requires a specific volume or weight ratio.
How long does it take for the chassis topcoat to fully cure?
The coating achieves dust-dry in 15-30 minutes. However, it requires 7-8 days under standard conditions for a full cure, after which it can withstand heavy-duty use and exposure.
Can this paint be applied in cold weather?
Application is best performed within a specific temperature range. Cold temperatures can significantly slow down the curing process and affect the final film properties. Consult the product's technical data sheet for optimal temperature and humidity guidelines.
What surfaces can this topcoat be applied to?
It offers strong adhesion to steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium surfaces. Ensure these surfaces are properly prepared, clean, and dry before application.
Is the black colour available in smaller kit sizes?
This listing is for the 20.0L Black kit. Other sizes and colours, such as Grey and Silver in 2750ml and 5500ml kits, are available as separate products.
What is the shelf life of the mixed product?
Once mixed, the product has a limited pot life, typically ranging from 1-4 hours depending on temperature. Only mix the amount you intend to use within this timeframe.
Does this coating provide electrical conductivity?
The product description mentions zinc phosphate for corrosion resistance but does not specify electrical conductivity properties. For applications requiring specific electrical characteristics, further technical data should be consulted.
Troubleshooting
Product not drying or curing properly
Verify correct mixing ratio of paint, hardener, and thinner. Ensure application temperature and humidity are within recommended ranges. Check for insufficient air movement.
Poor adhesion to surface
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. Check for presence of rust or contaminants. Re-prepare surface and reapply.
Uneven finish or excessive runs
Adjust spray gun pressure and nozzle size. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface. Reduce application thickness per coat. Ensure proper viscosity.
Slight colour variation between batches
While minor variations can occur, ensure consistent application technique. For large projects, use paint from the same batch if possible. Contact supplier if variation is significant.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides superior, long-lasting protection for heavy-duty chassis.
- Excellent resistance to corrosion, UV, and solvents.
- Achieves a professional, aesthetically pleasing semi-gloss finish.
- Strong adhesion ensures durability on various metal substrates.
- Suitable for demanding conditions due to heat resistance.
Cons
- Requires careful mixing of two components (paint, hardener, thinner).
- Application conditions (temperature, humidity) can affect drying and curing.
- Specific safety precautions must be followed due to chemical composition.
- Full cure takes 7-8 days, requiring patience before heavy use.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a two-component (2K) product requiring precise mixing. The 20.0L kit contains 13.8L of paint, 3.4L of hardener, and 2.8L of thinner. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended mixing ratio for optimal performance and adhesion. Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and rust. Proper surface preparation is critical.
Compatibility: The coating is designed to bond to steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium surfaces. It is also compatible with various application methods including electrostatic, Airmix, Airless spray guns, and traditional brush application.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean the coated surface with mild detergents and water. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the coating. For long-term protection, ensure any chips or scratches are promptly repaired to prevent moisture ingress and subsequent corrosion.
