Additional catalyst can be ordered separately under Part # 09-01964 (Quart) or Part # 09-01256 (Gallon) Certification paperwork must be requested at time of order. If certs are required with purchase, please contact us by clicking here or calling sales. Products Techniques, Inc. manufactures its Specialty Polyurethane, Enamel, Epoxy and Waterborne Polyurethane Top Coats available in gloss, semi gloss and flat in our standard colors as well as the 595C Federal Color Standard. Also PTI will custom color match to your specifications upon request. To request a custom color match please fill out the custom request form (click here) and email it to PTI@ptipaint.com. Waterborne Polyurethane and Enamel top coats are available in aerosols, quarts and gallons. The two component Polyurethane and Epoxy top coats are available in quart kits and gallon kits. In addition, PTI will provide an aerosol kit for any of its two component Polyurethane and Epoxy top coats. The two component aerosol kit comes with a pump to add the catalyst prior to use. PTI will also provide material in smaller or large quantities than what is reflected on this page upon request. All of the coatings offered through Aircraft Spruce have been formulate to meet and exceed military, aviation and aerospace industry standards. Please refer to the Technical Data for each top coat to review product descriptions, mixing instructions, application instructions and to identify what coating will work best for your application. Before ordering solvents, reducers or primers please refer to the: PTI Touch Up Paint Kits Over many years, weather and UV rays degrade the gloss and condition of the original paints and coatings on your aircraft. Therefore it is best to match your Touch-Up Kit to the existing paint, as it is. We now offer small quantity touch up kits to fix minor imperfections to the paint job.

Reviews
There has been reviews stating this paint did not dry hard after 48 hours. For me the paint dried hard on my first check after 16 hours. It may have been dry prior to that. It worked very well and provided a smooth glossy surface. I was surprised how smooth and glossy it dried.
This review covers PT-799: Excellent erosion and solvent resistance. Weve found this coating to also be suitable for application over flexible surfaces such as moulded foam rubber, without exhibiting surface cracking when deformed. Id agree with the reviewer that stated that insignia white was slightly cream colored, however I think youd only notice the difference if comparing to a pure TiO2 white. Without a true white reference, it appears about as white as your eyes can discern.
Great product, just want to mention, they tell you the lead time is 2 weeks, when I ordered it, it took a month.
Agree with Darren R, drying time way to long. 48 hrs still tacky in 95° temperatures! Brought job into A/C & another 24 to dry. Was still soft for another 48+ hrs. Have used PTI for wing tips several years ago without any problems . Then dried hard over night. Pre 2005 paint dried faster. Consulted paint expert says rattle canss dont have enough hardener in the paint so it will take longer drying and hardening time. He recommended another mfg. product their paint shop uses.
Plastic lid on can was damaged in shipment. Paint OK The green paper packaging instead of plastic pellets is resulting in shipping damage on all your paint products in cans.
This is advertised as their brightest white. Upon delivery and test spray, it was almost a cream color. Couldnt even call it a shade of white, let alone their brightest. The can is stamped Insignia, but I wonder if they filled it with another color by mistake. I emailed the manufacturer and aircraft spruce both. Only spruce got back to me and said Insignia is typically the whitest bright offered, but it can vary by manufacturers. Still waiting on a response from PTI. I guess no one has heard of Matterhorn White. Unimpressed.
I had a bad experience with the PTI Enamel paint. The drying times are not even close to what they say -the paint took nearly 3 times longer to dry. The paint was soft even weeks later. Very disappointed with the quality of this paint.
#1 color does not match chart #2 Nozzle stopped up the first pass One big mess of work piece Need to buy cans use spay gun Price to High for what you getting

It depends on the material. For the polyurethane, since it needs the catalyst, a one quart kit yields 2 quarts of material. For the waterborne and enamel products, a one quart kit will yield one quart of material.
You would need to use a dust/mist respirator protective mask with the use of waterborne polyurethane.
Our topcoats are compatible with that primer and most any other primer. However, for best results we recommend you use our epoxy primer as it is specifically formulated to work with our topcoats.
The quantities in the frequently asked questions does include the catalyst. So 3 to 4 gallons of mixed paint.
The paint that you would want to use is the Polyurethane. As for the amount, you need we would need to know the size of the area you are trying to paint. 1 gallon (128 oz per gallon) of the polyurethane should cover 600 sq ft at 1 mil thickness. Also, if you are covering bare aluminum you will need to first prime the surface with our epoxy primer.
Yes you can use adhesives with MEK in them on the Polyurethane topcoat. Please wait two weeks before doing so. Even when polyurethanes and even epoxies for that matter dry hard it does not mean they are fully cured. To have peak chemical resistance the coating must be cured.
It is always best to discuss paint types with a professional painter, but polyurethane is commonly used for both exterior and interior applications.
It is 2 parts. One part paint, one part catalyst.
Yes, you can use both, but it recommended to use the minimum allowed amount of each product.
The mix ratio is indeed a 1:1 for polyurethane. Polyurethane and epoxy prop coat require catalyst. We have fixed our note in overview to only reference the catalyst requirement. The mix ratios for each type are defined further down the page now.
