BlackTop and BlackTop Aerosol
Can BlackTop Aerosol be applied directly to aluminum?
BlackTop Aerosol bonds well to bare aluminum. Clean with KBS Klean, let dry, then apply thin coats. See the full prep steps.
Can I see an actual sample of the different sheens of BlackTop?
Request free painted samples of BlackTop's Gloss, Satin, and Flat Black sheens before you buy. See the exact finish in hand.
Can BlackTop be applied over epoxy primer or polyester filler primer?
BlackTop adheres well to cured epoxy primer, DTM primer, and body filler. Scuff glossy surfaces first for best adhesion.
Can I mix different sheens (Gloss, Satin, Flat) of BlackTop to get my desired gloss level?
Mix Gloss, Satin, and Flat BlackTop together to dial in a custom sheen. Only combine what you'll use right away for best pot life.
Can I brush on the BlackTop paint or does it have to be sprayed?
BlackTop can be brushed on and still looks sprayed. Avoid overbrushing so the coating flows out smoothly. See the technique.
What type of a brush should be used to brush BlackTop for a smooth finish?
Use a poly bristle brush for the smoothest BlackTop finish. Avoid overbrushing so marks flow out properly. See the full tip.
Is the aerosol version of BlackTop the same as the standard (non-aerosol) BlackTop version?
BlackTop is a moisture cured urethane; BlackTop Aerosol is an acrylic lacquer for easy application. See which fits your project.
Can BlackTop be used on wood?
BlackTop coats wood for a durable, great-looking finish. Unsealed wood needs a thinned seal coat first. See the full process.
How much BlackTop do I need to cover the frame and underneath components of a full-size pickup truck?
Plan on 2-3 quarts of BlackTop to coat a full-size truck frame and underside. See why an extra quart is worth having on hand.
What is the shelf life of BlackTop?
BlackTop lasts 2 years unopened, 6 months once opened if stored correctly. See proper storage steps and how Paint Saver extends it.
What should I use for cleanup when using BlackTop?
Use KBS #1 Thinner for uncured BlackTop cleanup and KBS Klean for surface prep. See why solvent cleaners hurt adhesion.
Is BlackTop urethane based?
BlackTop is a moisture cured urethane, built for durability, flexibility, and strong adhesion to prepared surfaces. See how it compares.
