Automotive,Frame Bolts.

I been using this KBS for several years, I had really good luck with the product. I media blast the metal and clean the material removing any dust. After drying i apply KBS directly thinning it out with a brush to prevent runs. The paint levels out as it dries, if you need more paint wait till it’s beyond tacky before applying to avoid runs.

Another great product from KBS. Easy to work with. Sprayed nicely without the need to be thinned. I applied KBS MAXX as a top coat over KBS rust seal for its UV protection

Great Color Match for Classic John Deere

KBS MAXX was pre-thinned and easy to use. No issues whatsoever. The spray can was a shade darker than the quart but it was still very close. I used the spray can for the hard to reach places and the quart for everything else. I will buy again. See before and after pictures.

KBS MAXX

I have mixed a couple of quarts to get the shade of gray I was looking for on my 55 Gasser. I have only painted the inside of the trunk . I intend to paint the whole car but won’t get to it for a couple of weeks due to other commitments. So far the paint laid down nice and happy with it so far.

Great Product

So far have really liked the paint. I used Yellow and yellow is always hard to get to cover and I would say this covered better than any others that I have used. Really like have hard it gets is such a short time. Was able to move my poles with a strap wrapped around them after only a weekend of sitting and didn't scratch the paint. Will see how it looks after a few years out in the weather.

Saved having to replace a bathtub

Long story short: We have a bathtub, original to a house built in 1984, that was in pristine condition but was a horrible brown color. I had it "professionally" coated (which wasn't cheap) and over 5 years that coating failed 4 times. I was done, about ready to demo it and just replace the stupid tub. Then it occurred to me: If can paint a trailer with KBS products and it wears like iron, why couldn't I paint a tub? The KBS rep was awesome as usual and it did take some elbow grease but three coats of Maxx saved my tub- looks better than ever and seems bulletproof so far. You guys rock.

Easy to Use

I used this paint the first time just shooting a Bumper and lower valence on a Dakota. (High Gloss Black) I had to reduce the paint with Acetone to get it flow right, and boy does it flow. Settled in like glass and had great stability and hold properties. look forward to using it again.

KBS coatings clear

If you are looking for a coating for bare aluminum wheels KBS MAXX clear will do the job just use some sort of adhesion promoter with it or it may not adhere good to high polished area I had good results with polished gm wheels stripped with clean strip paint stripper and then applying two coats of bulldog adhesion promoter then two coats of KBSMAXX over that.

Rust Seal and KBS Maxx on Bronze in Saltwater

I applied a system of Rust Seal covered by KBS Maxx on a bronze anchor platform stanchion that was peeling old paint. Used 2 coats of each and the end result was a sharp looking part. This had been a real eyesore on my boat. The system went on easily, recoated quickly and looks good so far. Time will tell in the tough saltwater environment but I have total confidence. The one thing I would recommend is to remove any masking after each coat. I waited until the end and one little section of paint peeled off. It's a thick, tough coating when done. I like it for tough applications.

tough as nails

Let me start out by stating my background, I went to school when I was in high school for automotive refinishing, after that I spent years refinishing cars with all brands of paint, I later moved on to refin boats, power coating and then running a body shop. So when it comes to paint I have had my share of experience. with this being said I started a large welding table build and needed a paint to hold up to all diff obstacles. I have used the normal choices por15, rust bullet but have found flaws in them. not this time I used this paint and have beat the hell out of it I sprayed it and it flowed out great. I would recommend it any day.

The best I have come across

Previously used other expensive acrylic products that turned out to not be UV resistant, had an 8:1:1 ratio to mess with, and didn't look that good when finished. Sprayed my f250 frame I had previously sandblasted, Epoxy primered, and acrylic coated . Cleaned it with kbs clean (sprayed then rinsed before dry) got the gun out and made a pot. Sprayed like a dream. Covered like crazy. Black as could be. Looks fanominal. Super glazed shine. Hard as steel it was sprayed on.
