Full details
The FabioT. RT 2K Polyurethane Texture Paint is designed for professionals and serious DIYers seeking a highly durable and protective finish for industrial machinery, tools, and steel structures. Its key benefit is a resilient, semi-gloss textured coating that not only enhances appearance but also hides imperfections and resists wear. A potential caveat is that its 2K formulation requires proper mixing and ventilation for safe and effective application.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of the mixed product?
Once mixed, the pot life of the 2K product is limited. Please refer to the product's technical data sheet for the specific pot life at your application temperature.
Can this paint be applied with a brush?
While designed for spray application (spray gun or airless), brushing may be possible for small touch-ups, but achieving a uniform textured finish can be difficult. It is recommended to use the specified spray equipment for best results.
What safety precautions are necessary?
Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a respirator, gloves, and eye protection, as this is a 2K system containing hazardous chemicals.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Drying times vary based on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Typically, it will be touch-dry within a few hours and ready for recoating or further handling after a specified period. Consult the product's technical data sheet for precise drying and curing times.
Can I use this paint on wood or plastic?
This product is specifically formulated for metal surfaces. Its adhesion and performance on wood or plastic may vary, and it is not guaranteed. Proper surface preparation and potentially specific primers would be required, and testing on a small area is recommended.
What is the sheen level of the finish?
The finish is described as semi-gloss with a textured appearance.
What is the purpose of the texture in the finish?
The textured finish helps to hide minor surface imperfections, providing a more uniform and professional look, especially on substrates that are not perfectly smooth.
Troubleshooting
Paint not curing or hardening properly
Ensure the hardener was mixed in the correct ratio and thoroughly combined with the paint. Verify that the correct hardener for this specific product was used and that the temperature is within the recommended application range.
Uneven texture or poor coverage
Adjust spray gun settings (pressure, nozzle size) or airless equipment settings. Ensure the paint mixture is consistent and not too thick. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing for proper flash-off between coats if necessary.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Verify that the surface was properly prepared, cleaned, and free of contaminants like grease or rust. Ensure the substrate is dry before application. Check compatibility with any primers used.
Runs or sags in the finish
Apply thinner coats, especially on vertical surfaces. Reduce spray gun distance or adjust flow rate. Allow adequate flash-off time between coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Mixing: This is a 2K (two-component) system. Carefully mix the paint, hardener, and thinner in the specified ratios (13.8 L Paint : 3.4 L Hardener : 2.8 L Thinner for the 20L kit). Ensure thorough mixing for optimal performance.
- Application Method: Use with a spray gun or airless spray equipment. Ensure your equipment is suitable for this type of coating.
- Environment: Apply in a well-ventilated area, free from dust and contaminants. Maintain a temperature between X°C and Y°C (consult product data sheet for specific range).
Compatibility:
- Primarily designed for metal surfaces including industrial machinery, components, lockers, tools, and steel structures.
- Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from rust, grease, and previous coatings that may interfere with adhesion.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the applied surface with a mild detergent and water. Avoid using harsh solvents that could damage the coating.
- Maintenance: Inspect periodically for any signs of wear or damage. Touch-up as needed following application guidelines.
