Which PU paint and primer should I combine?
| Subsurface | Primer / Pretreatment | Finish (choice of gloss level) |
|---|---|---|
| Wood (interior/exterior) | Sand, degrease; apply sealer or clear intermediate coat if necessary | Yacht Paint PU High Gloss/Satin Gloss or Double Coat Carat |
| Steel/Aluminum | Derusting/blasting, IJmopox HB as a primer | Double Coat (gloss/semi-gloss/matte) or BECKOCOAT® topcoat |
| Polyester/Gelcoat | Sand, degrease; apply bonding primer if prescribed | Double Coat (all gloss levels) |
| ABS/plastics | Clean, lightly sand; suitable plastic primer | Double Coat (system dependent) |
Important: Always follow the datasheet of the selected system for exact pretreatment, mixing ratio, layer thickness and overcoat times.
Technical advantages
Processing & Flow
Smooth flow for an even top layer without orange peel when diluted and processed correctly.
- Suitable for brush, roller and (airless) spray
- Quick-drying, dust-free
- Systems that can be built with multiple layers
Yield & Hardening
Indicative yield 7–15 m²/L per layer (depending on substrate/layer thickness).
- Complete drying within a few days
- Product and climate dependent
- Increased durability with multiple layers
Professional use & safety
⚠️ Safety regulations
PU paints and primers contain solvents. Work with good ventilation and wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, and respiratory protection where necessary). Always consult the TDS/SDS and observe the mixing ratio, pot life, and recoating intervals.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which gloss level do I choose?
High gloss emphasizes depth and is easy to clean; semi-gloss masks minor imperfections; matte provides a modern, non-reflective look.
Can I spray and roll with the same product?
Yes, most PU systems are suitable for brush/roller and (airless) spray application. Use the appropriate brush or spray thinner for optimal flow.
Do I always need a primer?
That depends on the substrate. Metals and some plastics require a bonding primer (e.g., IJmopox HB on steel/aluminum). On polyester/gelcoat, a thorough pretreatment is often sufficient.
