Coat Machine Frame with SPEEDLINER Pro – Step by Step

In the guide we explain all the steps to coat your machine frame made of bare steel profiles with SPEEDLINER Pro. From preparation, sanding, priming to coating, we show you everything in detail. Practical tips & tricks help you at every step. Durable protection for your loading area.

Step 1: Scuff surfaces

Floor and walls are roughly cleaned, rust is removed if necessary and sanded with a sander. For fast and effective scuffing we recommend a pneumatic or electric sander with a cup brush.

Important: Only scuff painted surfaces, do not sand down to bare metal.

Step 2: Clean the surfaces

Use the WDC universal cleaner to remove all grease, wax or other residues.

Step 3: PU sealing

PU sealing of edges and transitions

Seal all open areas, edges, transitions or gaps with PU sealant.

Apply PU sealant

Step 4: Apply etch primer

Apply EP100 etch primer

All bare metal areas are pre-primed with EP100 etch primer. This is done with a spray gun or a brush.

Drying time at least 20 minutes

Let EP100 etch primer dry for at least 20 minutes.

Step 5: Apply primer

Apply AP101 universal primer

Prime all surfaces to be coated with AP101 universal primer. This is done with a spray gun or a brush.

Let primer dry for 20 minutes

Let AP101 universal primer dry for at least 20 minutes, but not more than 4 hours. After 4 hours it must be reapplied.

Step 6: Prepare the coating material

Mix SPEEDTEX components

Further information on the mixing ratio of component A, component B and the liquid color pigment can be found in the SPEEDLINER Pro processing guidelines.

Step 7: Apply the coating material

Start with the edges and corners.

Spray SPEEDTEX on edges and corners first

Then all surfaces. Depending on the application we recommend a layer thickness of 1 to 1.5 mm. Greater layer thicknesses are possible at any time.

Coat surfaces evenly

Step 8: Short drying time (optional)

Short flash-off time before texturing

After successfully spraying the protective coating, a short drying phase follows. After this, the desired texture is applied. The texture influences the appearance.

Spray texture from a greater distance

The coating material is sprayed onto the surface from a greater distance.

What You See Is What You Get! The way the surface looks after applying the texture is how it will look later. The surface structure no longer changes during curing.

Step 9: Curing

Let the protective coating dry for at least 12 hours and protect it from water and moisture.

Done, that’s it! During the curing process, the protection increases continuously and the material bonds permanently with the frame.
