Samurai is using NC modified acrylic resin. This NC modified acrylic resin makes Samurai different from all the other brands in the market today and gives it strength in quality.
If unused, all Samurai paints can be stored for years without being expired. For the Samurai 2K paints, once the chemicals have been mixed, the 2K01 top clear coat should be used within 4 hours and the 2K04, 2K05 and 2K06 surfacers should be used within 24 hours. As for the other Samurai paints, once used, can be kept for years.
Most Samurai Paint products can withstand up to 190°C temperature. Our hi-temp paint, however, can withstand a much higher temperature, approximately 600°C.
1K is a term used to describe a coating that does not require a hardener, catalyst or activator. This term can be used to describe single-component paints that dry or cure on their own, such as lacquer, enamel or auto touch-up spray can paints.
2K paints describe a coating that needs to be mixed with hardener before being used or applied. A 1K hardens on its own and is quicker to apply because drying time is faster. It also does not require extra effort or mixture to apply as compared to 2K.
In the end, 2K is more durable and is used especially for topcoat. With our convenient spray can system, buying the paint is not a problem. But with Samurai 2K Aerosol System, you can paint it like a pro.
One can may be able to cover between 1sqm – 3sqm of area. The difference is due to the skill of the painter, how many layers, how thick per layer and which color selected; lighter color opacity will be lower.
This will depend on the models and what is to be painted on the motorcycle. But if painting the fairings only, for the typical models such as XMAX, Raiders, Mlcg, etc., the estimated would be 2–3 cans per 400ml of paint. It will again depend on the skill and experience of the painter.
We recommend that you don’t use Samurai with other brands because Samurai’s paint adhesion is stronger as compared with other brands. If Samurai is used on top of other brands, there is a big chance that Samurai will eat the other brands’ paint and will result in what we call biting.
Yes, Samurai can be used on other materials such as fiber glass. You need to sand, use 2K04 Surfaces primer, paint it with the Samurai color, and use 2K01 top clear coat for best results.
Yes, Samurai can be used to paint chromed items. It needs to be applied 2KPP plastic primer on chrome finished item, dry under hot sun for 30–60 minutes, sand to P320 for a 2–3 day before spray paint.
