Will this paint be suitable for application directly on fiberglass? Resin I have used - Sicomin SR5550 sanded not primed.

While the manufacturer has not tested this product applied to fibreglass, they see no reason why it couldnt be used assuming you test on a small area for compatibility and adhesion prior to full application. The fibreglass must be clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet.

I have a painted steel structure, is any surface treatment required prior to coating with this product? or can I apply directly to the paint?

Hempel recommend on their product data sheet this must only be applied to a bare prepared surface or another Hempel product as part of a Hempel specification. In regards to preparation, for maintance or repair spot abrasive blasting is recommended but minor areas hand or power tool preparation can be used. For new structures this must be blasted to SA2.5.

Can hempel tex hi build 46410 paint be used on plywood and timber

While there is no real reason why this cannot be used on timber, the manufacturer does not hold test data for this application. We would recommend a testing for compatibility and adhesion on a small area prior to full application.

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour
