BlackTop

Yes, BlackTop does come in Gloss, OEM Satin Black, and Flat Black sheens (how shiny or full it is).

You can request actual painted out color samples HERE. We will paint out the samples of BlackTop and mail them to you for free so you can see the actual sheen before making your purchase.

Yes, you can apply BlackTop to epoxy primers, DTM primers, and body fillers that are fully cured. BlackTop will adhere well to epoxy primer, DTM primer, and body fillers.

PRO TIP: If the sheen of the surface to be coated is glossy (shiny), then lightly scuff the surface with 320 grit before you apply BlackTop for enhanced adhesion.

Yes, you can absolutely mix different sheens of BlackTop to create a custom sheen.

PRO TIP: Only mix what you need as the pot life of the BlackTop in the mixing container may be diminished.

Yes, you can absolutely brush BlackTop. We formulated BlackTop so that when it is brushed on, it looks like it has been sprayed. When brushing BlackTop, do not overwork the brush as this can cause the BlackTop to cure too quickly possibly leaving visible brush marks. It is best to brush an area with BlackTop and move on immediately versus brushing an area over and over again. If you brush over an area over and over again forcing the solvents out, you run the risk of the brush marks not flowing out as well they are designed to flow out.

The best brush for brushing out BlackTop is a natural bristle brush like the ones found HERE. Be sure to pull the loose brush hairs out of a new brush so they do not come off as you are painting.

BlackTop is a moisture cured urethane which is an advanced coatings technology offering durability, flexibility, corrosion, and chemical resistance.

BlackTop Aerosol features a professional grade acrylic lacquer resin system for superior adhesion, color retention, and durability.

If durability is the most needed feature, use the standard version versus the aerosol version. If ease of use is the most needed feature, it is best to use the aerosol version.

Yes, BlackTop can be applied to wood and provides an incredible looking and very durable finish.

If the wood has not been sealed, thin the first coat of BlackTop 50% with KBS #1 Thinner (1 Part BlackTop and 1 Part KBS #1 Thinner) so you get a seal coat on the wood. Let that thinned down coat of BlackTop cure for 24 hours, sand smooth, and then apply normal thin coats of BlackTop to the wood surface.

2 quarts of BlackTop will probably be enough to coat the frame and underneath components of your full-size truck, but depending on overspray or waste, it could take up to 3 quarts of BlackTop.

BlackTop should be good for at least two years unopened and if opened and stored correctly, BlackTop should be good for at least six months after you open for the first time.

PRO TIP: Do not paint directly out of can. Dispense a working amount of BlackTop into a separate container (steel or glass is best) and seal immediately. Unused paint should NEVER be put back into the can as it will shorten its shelf life and cause pressure build-up, possibly popping the lid. Keep can groove free of paint by using a scoop or KBS Paint Spout. Use plastic wrap between the lid and the top of the can to stop metal to metal contact as BlackTop is extremely strong and tough and can permanently seal the lid. Store in cool dry place. If storing for a period of time, hold can lid, and plastic wrap (described above) closely above can and spray KBS Paint Saver towards side of the can to avoid splashing. Spray KBS Paint Saver 2 seconds for quarts or less and 4 seconds for gallons. KBS Paint Saver prevents oxygen and moisture damage and extends storage times of BlackTop.

You can use KBS #1 Thinner or lacquer thinner for cleaning up BlackTop before BlackTop cures.

PRO TIP: Only use KBS #1 Thinner or Xylene when thinning or reducing BlackTop.
