hey guys,
do you know where the rm paint expirey date is on the yins, due to are rep has sent tins with no dates on them and the only date i can find is saying 06/10why im asking as im having problems with my rm solvent paint, as im trying to find out y, i have a couple of ideas and i think the main reason is im getting pushed into waterbourne. and im thinkin thats y inm getting sent old stock
im pretty sure it has an extremely long shelf life, i dont imagine that would be the source of any problems. if it sits for a long time as isnt shaken before using then thats another thing.
what kind of problems are you having
I was using RM years ago. The supplier made the labels by hand and few were dated. I reccomend you date the tins as you purchase. Shake, shake shake, gone to seed.. it’s bad. Lot of factors. I have paint from 5 years ago that MAY be ok. You never know until you shake and inspect. Bill
Most solvent toners last a very long time. I’ve used some really old toners without much issue. I think that as long as it has been sealed well, it should last many many years
Ok, I’ve got a fleet of round 40 fiat vans to repair for a postal company. So 1044c UNO HD has been chosen colour. It’s like silicones but I don’t think it’s that as I’ve changed tins of degreaser and clothes. And put the mixer on first thing. Even putting the tints tins in the booth to warm ready. It comes up in the first coat and through out. I changed the tints to new and cleaned the mixing paddle as well, I tried a different shade and it didn’t happen big had to replie 1044c over due to the shade being to cream, soon as I remixed layer down 1044c it started again. That’s when I started looking in to the dates on the tins lol help 🙂

I’ve yet to experience this but I do recall a training instructor talking about this happening if a hardener goes bad….if i have experienced it i likely gave my detailer shit and blamed him until
i burned threw the hardener. :pI found out to correct the problem with the 1044c paint, it was due to a tint that had split from the cold weather so it’s been replaced and all fixed. Having checked every tint 🙂 till it reacted
