Product Information
Full details
U-Pol Reface is a high-performance 2K polyester spray filler designed for automotive and industrial professionals who require a reliable solution for leveling irregular surfaces. It offers an exceptional high-build finish that is remarkably easy to sand, significantly reducing labor time during surface preparation. While it provides a professional-grade surface, users should note that as a 2K system, it requires precise mixing with the included hardener and must be used in a well-ventilated area with appropriate personal protective equipment.

FAQs
Can U-Pol Reface be used on plastic bumpers?
It is designed for steel and glass fiber (GRP). For plastic substrates, ensure you use a dedicated plastic adhesion promoter first.
What is the recommended spray gun nozzle size?
Generally, a 1.8mm to 2.2mm nozzle is recommended for high-build spray fillers to ensure proper material flow.
How long should I wait before sanding?
Cure times vary based on temperature, but it is typically ready to sand once fully hardened to the touch, usually within 1-2 hours.
Is this a primer or a filler?
It is a 2K polyester spray filler, which acts as a heavy-build leveling agent rather than a sealer or surfacer.
Does it shrink over time?
No, because it is a 2K system, it is designed for minimal shrinkage compared to 1K products, ensuring the repair remains invisible.
Troubleshooting
Filler is not curing properly
Verify the mixing ratio of hardener to filler and ensure the ambient temperature is within the recommended range.
Rough or orange-peel texture upon application
Adjust spray pressure or consider slightly thinning the mixture as per the technical manual for your specific spray gun setup.
Difficulty sanding or paper clogging
Ensure the product has fully cured based on the cure time recommendations before attempting to sand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your substrate is clean, dry, and free from contaminants such as wax, oil, or rust. Sand the surface with appropriate abrasive grits (typically P80 to P180) to provide mechanical keying. Mix the Reface filler with the supplied hardener according to the manufacturer’s technical data sheet, paying close attention to the specified pot life. Apply using a spray gun with a suitable nozzle size for high-viscosity materials. Always clean your spray equipment immediately after use with a high-quality gun cleaner to prevent the 2K product from hardening inside the nozzle or fluid passages.
