2K Universal Matt Black Paint For Engines and all components.
The catalyst is included in the package and is already dosed for a catalysis by weight of 20% (250 g of base + 50 g of catalyst)
To paint an engine, you need a quantity of paint that varies according to the size of the engine and the number of pieces you intend to work on.
Remember that to paint a frame you need more product, because its shape forces the painter to lose a lot of product in the air, so take this into account when buying the paint
Here are some suggestions on the quantities to use according to the type of engine you have.
2-cylinder engine kit: 2 cans of 250gr of color + 1 primer
4-cylinder engine kit: 2 cans of 250gr of color + 2 primers

Application
Nozzle gun between 1 and 1.4, pressure 1.5 to 2.5 bar
If you have a bare metal light engine it will take more paint than an already black engine
You can also apply our paint on an engine that has already been painted, as long as the pre-existing paint is in good condition and does not come off the substrate.
This application is valid both for engines and for metal or light alloy pieces
This paint attacks directly and without the need for a primer, but remember that you can still use it if you want to avoid the formation of oxide over the years. Always consider that the paint has the ability to adhere to all metals but does not have anti-oxidant characteristics, therefore it can adhere but will not be able to stop any long-term rust or oxide formation.
1 Scrape off any rust if there is any
2 Scrape off the old paint if it comes off
3 If the engine is bare metal, clean it thoroughly with our aircraft cleaner
4 If the original paint is in good condition, lightly scratch it with 600 grit sandpaper and then 800 dry or wet
5 Dry well and always degrease with an aeronautical cleaner
NB Decide whether to apply the primer. If you have decided to apply it, just shake it, put it in the gun and apply a light coat and immediately, without stopping, a full coat, wait 20 minutes and without sanding it, start applying the varnish.
6 Base mix and catalyst that are already dosed and wait 5 minutes before starting.
NB if you have primed, you do not need to sand it, simply wait 20 minutes after the last coat and then start applying the paint directly. If, on the other hand, 12 hours have passed since its application, then you have to dull it slightly with a dry or wet type 1000 fine sandpaper.
7 Apply a light coat of varnish and wait 5 minutes
8 Apply a heavier coat of paint and wait until it becomes completely opaque, there is no precise time because it depends on the temperature of the place where you are. Let's just say you'll have to wait about 10 to 20 minutes
9 Apply another loaded coat and this will also be the last
10 Wait 12 hours to assemble the pieces and for it to be resistant to petrol
You can also apply a matt clear coat to give greater resistance to petrol and greater protection
NOTE: the two full coats depend on who applies and one thing is certain not to overdo it, because if you do it the paint risks drying badly. We always advise you to do some tests first.
