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, they 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, on the other hand, describe a coating that needs to
be mixed with hardener before being used or applied. A 1K
hardens on its own, is less susceptible to damage from
chemicals, moisture, or UV rays, 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 is 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 of the painter. The more
practice and experience the painter has, the less wastage will be.
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 with 2KPP plastic primer on the chrome finished item,
dried under hot sun for 30–60 minutes, and sanded to P320 for
2–3 days before spray painting.
Samurai formulation is specifically designed for motorcycles.
We do not recommend it for other surfaces such as wooden
furniture.
To spray on wood, the wood must be processed with wood putty/filler.
Then the regular procedures can be followed.
Step-by-Step Guide
1
Prepare the Surface
Clean the surface thoroughly and remove dirt, grease, oil,
rust and any loose paint. Make sure the surface is completely
dry before spraying.
2
Sand the Surface
Sand the surface properly to create a smooth and suitable
base for the paint. Remove all dust before application.
3
Shake the Can
Shake the Samurai spray can thoroughly before use to ensure
the paint is properly mixed.
4
Apply the Paint
Hold the can at a suitable distance from the surface and
spray evenly using smooth, controlled movements. Avoid
applying too much paint in one coat.
5
Apply Multiple Coats
Apply 3–4 layers depending on the weather and desired finish.
Allow approximately 3–5 minutes between coats.
6
Allow to Dry
Allow the painted surface to dry properly. Surface drying
takes approximately 30 minutes, while leaving it overnight
is recommended for a better finish.
Tip: For the best results, spray evenly and
consistently while keeping the can moving during application.
