The product, in perspective.
Q.A.D Enamel is a one-component alkyd finish for prepared industrial equipment and other suitable substrates. Select the required colour and distinguish any matt or hammer-finish grade in your request.
A quick-air-drying enamel for the substrates identified in its coating system. A fast-drying appearance is not the same as complete curing or confirmed compatibility with an existing coating.
Where it works.
The documented surface or use for Q.A.D Enamel is primed metal, fibreglass, suitable plastic and woodwork. Identify the actual material and its condition before selecting the preparation and finishing system. An existing coating, a newly prepared base and a repaired area can need different treatment.
- A quick-air-drying enamel for the substrates identified in its coating system.
- Available quotation packs and component requirements are checked for your selected product, rather than inferred from another grade.
Before you start.
Degrease and prepare the substrate. Bare steel, galvanised metal, aluminium and suitable plastics have different preparation requirements; identify your surface before choosing the primer route.
For a useful specification check, share whether the surface is bare or previously treated, the name of the existing coating if known, and any visible damage or moisture exposure. Preparation products should be selected for that condition before the finishing material is applied.
Application and project planning.
Follow the Q.A.D coating system and method-specific thinning instructions. Primer selection should reflect the intended substrate and service environment.
A fast-drying appearance is not the same as complete curing or confirmed compatibility with an existing coating.
Measure the area to be treated and allow for the number of coats required by the coating system. Surface texture, absorption, application method and material losses can change the amount needed. Tell us the area and proposed system when requesting packs; the published coverage is a planning reference, not a guarantee of your project’s consumption.

Good questions, useful answers.
What information helps select the system?
Tell us the surface material, whether it is bare or previously coated, the existing coating where known, and the intended application method.
What should I include in my quotation?
Give the exact product name, requested pack size, quantity and relevant colour reference. Add the surface, application and destination so the product and delivery requirements can be checked together.
How do I choose the right pack and quantity?
Use the available pack choices and the quantity required by your coating or installation plan. Tell us the area, number of coats or relevant joint dimensions if you need help assembling a material list.
Can I confirm a colour from the product picture?
The image represents product packaging, not an exact shade match. Use a manufacturer colour reference for a coloured product, or specify that colour is not applicable for the material you need.
Keep the specification close.
Use the full manufacturer technical information when planning preparation and application. Include the exact product and system details when contacting KariVex about a quotation.
