Title: Eastwood Paints
Post by pg on 11/21/15 at 17:03:29

Gents:

Is anyone familiar with Eastwood 2K paints? I have been meaning to give the old bike a fresh look and this could be a real good option. What do you think?

This is from their website---

Eastwood's New 2-Component Ceramic Aero-Spray™. Paint has the durability and precision of a 2-component coating without the paint gun! The two-chamber design mixes the ceramic fortified coating and activator right in the can—no paint gun required—no mess to clean up.

Innovative nozzle technology sprays with a wide spray pattern giving you excellent coverage and more control than conventional aerosols. Formulated with Eastwood's proprietary Nano Ceramic Technology to provide you a long lasting, beautiful and durable coating.

Best regards,

Is it gasoline resistant?

Q - Is this product fuel spill resistant? I want to apply it a motorcycle fuel tank.

A - This product will be fuel spill resistant once it is fully cured. Just don't let the fuel stay on it once it has splashed on. This product would be perfect for a motorcycle tank.

Eastwood sells really good products. Their prices are a bit high on some things - but the quality is good. I have never tried their 2K paints as I use a spray gun.....the big problem with the spray cans is that the paint has to be sprayed once activated - the paint will cure inside the can over the "pot life" duration.

I use their spray cans of cast iron grey, aluminum, steel to paint small parts. It goes on smooth, dries really quickly, and is durable.

Very short working life for the price. The paint is cross compatible, many riders use Rustoleum for the base colors and then a 2K clear.

F.Y.I. you can get ceramic based engine paints at any auto parts store. To use them on sheetmetal, simply rig up a frame, plastic sheeting and a heater to bake cure the parts. I used "puke" (grabber green) Duplicolor engine enamel on the hub caps and ladder rack of my 92 K1500 Silverado to offset the flat black base coat... Baked it in the sun under black plastic. Good adhesion so far, and that truck gets the ever loving s*** beat out of it on a regular basis.
