Yes, Automotive paints of the past were lacquer and enamels that, with care can be repaired and maintained as easily as the epoxy and urethane paints if applied correctly. I also heard about Sico Acrythane industrial paint. Then there are the PPG systems and of course, the usual aircraft paint. I have even heard of people using marine paint with a roller. Later in this website a section will be posted on how to paint your plane. ~ cdngoose

You may mix any of our urethane clears into the final coat of an ULTRA-GLO acrylic urethane paint job. Doing so is a quick and easy way to improve the gloss and long-term durability of the paint finish, without having to apply a full clearcoat. It should be noted that this is not as effective as applying a full clear coat. Kirker’s ULTRA-GLO acrylic urethane paint is completely compatible with all of our urethane clear products, so they will work together in any mix ratio.

Absolutely. POR-15 will accept all paints, including lacquer-based paints. POR-15 Tie-Coat Primer is the best prime coat to use before topcoating POR-15. Be sure to read thoroughly our directions and tip sheets regarding topcoating before using POR-15.

KLASS KOTE is a protective, decorative, 2-part epoxy coating system. It can be used on a wide variety of substrates and in numerous environments, which require a highly protective and attractive coating.

Polyurethane is a term used to describe a wide ranging family of elastomers (any compound exhibiting the characteristics of natural rubber; stretchy and elastic.). Poly meaning "many" and "urethane" the classification of the chemical structure. Polyurethane or urethane for short, is used as a solid cast material (bushings). Polyurethane can be as soft as a rubber band or as hard as plastic.

Normal paint products, although also consisting of many different ingredients, does not have a catalyst part and relies mainly on the evaporation of solvents to air-dry. This process leaves the binder elements that keep the solids and pigments together as a coloured layer on the surface. The inherent bonding qualities of an epoxy resin system offers far more bonding strength to the substrate it was designed for.

detailed in the Technical Bulletins which can be found on this website, various "hybrid" polymer compositions can be prepared using KiON polysilazanes. Any one version of such a "hybrid" polymer often represents an optimization of certain performance characteristics at the expense of others. The value of any given KiON polymer hybrid is thus extremely application dependent and relies heavily on the complimentary organic starting materials which are employed.

Once Part A and Part B are mechanically mixed together, "pot life" refers to the amount of time that the applicator has to work with epoxy paint before it begins to chemically cure and harden.

It cleans like a semi-gloss even though it's a flat finish. As with most flat finishes, however, it still hides surface imperfections and gives walls a smooth, rich-looking finish.

No. Milk Paint is a totally natural product. Because it is a classical paint, the application "feel" is different, and the end result is that traditional slightly streaky texture - it is intended for those who want to achieve that unique traditional look. Unlike PVA, it can be applied directly to unsealed / unprimed porous surfaces such as sanded wood. Also keep in mind that Milk Paint is perfect to paint wood, whereas PVA has been developed as a wall coating.

You can, but it may not be the best choice. Many professionals avoid working with oil-based paints because they are harder to clean up and take longer to dry. With water-based paints, smudges and spills can be wiped away easily with a damp cloth. Water-based paint can be applied over oil-or water-based urethane finishes. For best results with opaque paints, consider first applying a white primer.

Soy?Gel™ will remove multiple layers easily! Just allow the product to work until all the coatings have softened.

Yes, it will still perform, but will be subject to the fallibility of the existing paint and will therefore not last as long as if the original paint had been scraped off back to the bare wood. You may also find that it takes longer to dry as the linseed oil will not soak through the modern paint into the wood.

Oil-based and acrylic paints cannot be mixed. Acrylic paints are water-based. There is a new type of paint out now, called alkyd paint. Although it is water-based, alkyd paint can be used with oil paints. You can never paint in acrylic over a painting previously done in oil paint. You can, however, paint with oil paint over an acrylic painting.

More to the point, why are domestic paints so inexpensive? The United States represents an aberration in the world market for architectural coatings. This is a consequence of the absence of performance standards for paint in our country, as well as the unusually short average residency period (four years for the typical family!).

Rubber is the sap of trees found mostly in tropical climates. The sap is altered by mixtures of carbon (why it's black) and mineral oils and various fillers. Polyurethane is completely chemical or man-made. Because rubber is a biodegradable product it is affected by ozone and will over time dry rot and degrade, while urethane will keep going and going. Urethane bushings will increase the performance handling characteristics of your vehicle. Urethane is a firmer material then rubber.

Urethane bushing are a harder material the stock rubber. Generally a tighter more responsive ride is noticed after Urethane is installed.

Yes, it will still perform, but will be subject to the fallibility of the existing paint. It will therefore, not last as long if the original paint has not been scraped off back to the bare wood. You may also find that it takes longer to dry, as the linseed oil will not soak through the modern paint into the wood as well. Generally, the Allback linseed paint will adhere to any surface that is dry and clean.

You can - but you will loose all adhesive strength. At cone 04 what you have left is a white brittle material that is the alumina and silica in the epoxy, left after the resins burn off. It is meant to be used as a post-firing repair material.
