PJ1 Gloss Black Epoxy Frame Paint

Perfect for motorcycle frames, light coats and many of them.

States on the instructions that it shouldn't be used below 21c, so had to heat the garage before using it. Both cans suffered clogging in the nozzle and it was difficult to clear, I wouldn't use it again. You also need to use a very good quality face mask designed for use when painting, I used the following......"Draeger-x-plore-3300-painters-agricultural-half-mask-with-filters"

Slow drying I would say it is a synthetic based product similar to smooth Hammerite. I was expecting something a little tougher for the price. Ok if you want to bodge something up to sell it, not good enough for my classic motorcycle.

The item came quickly. I used this to paint a light bracket on my quad I welded up. I primed it then did a really light first coat. Then about 3 additional coats drying between. It took awhile to completely dry however it looks great and is hard glossy to the touch. I'd reccomend this paint.

It does work well, but it takes a bit of doing. The instructions really dont tell the whole story. I used this to coat some small parts for various things, these are my observations, and it took 2 tries: Dont go crazy on the number of coats, 1 to 2 light coats at most, its thick stuff and doesnt need more than that. If you do more, the amount of time to cure will triple at least, IF it cures at all. I allowed this paint to firm up for a full 48+ hours before touching it, this was in outdoor summer temps of 90+ degrees. Based on a previous attempt, I knew the 'inside' was likely still mushy. I baked it in a ventilated garage convection oven at 175*F for 3 hours (cant bake it in an indoor/house oven, it aint safe!). That finally did the trick, and the part was usable at that point. In winter/cooler months, it'll take MUCH longer for the initial dry/cure. You really dont want to touch it directly until the outside is 'dry' enough, or it'll leave a print. Your experience may vary. Beyond that, the stuff has been pretty tough, and the finish/gloss is excellent. Pretty happy with the results.

Worked well, covered well and is strong.

Great smooth finish. Refinished the gas tank on my BMW R60/5.

24 hrs later and still not dry to the touch. Manufacturer gives no info on drying time. States re-coat in 30 min but not after 4 hrs. Says it may be possible to re-coat after 4 days. Note the word POSSIBLE. Don't waste your money on this crap. UPDATE: 16 days later and anything sat upon this paint leaves a mark. Manufacturer claims porcelain hard. NOT SO bare faced LIE. I have purchased a can of VHT sp650 from AutoZone for $8.99 + tax, that came out like a sheet of black glass (not rough like the PJ1) and dried in 24 hrs, not two weeks or more. After 24 hrs nothing sat upon or touching this paint leaves any marks. VHT is made by Dupli-Color found in almost all auto parts stores in the US, and is owned by Sherwin Williams paints.
