FAQs
What is the best way to clean application tools after use?
Clean brushes, rollers, and spray equipment immediately after use with White Spirit or another appropriate solvent recommended for solvent-based paints.
Can this paint be used on wood or plastic?
This paint is specifically formulated for vehicles. While it might adhere to some prepared surfaces, compatibility with wood or plastic is not guaranteed and testing is advised. Specialized primers may be required.
How long does it take to fully cure?
The paint is touch dry in 2 hours. Full curing, meaning the paint has reached its maximum hardness and durability, can take several days to weeks depending on conditions like temperature and humidity.
Is this paint suitable for interior use on vehicles?
Yes, the durable finish makes it suitable for interior vehicle surfaces that require a tough coating. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and curing.
Where can I find other available colours or sizes?
This paint is available in various RAL classic, BS 4800, and BS 381C colours and different container sizes (1000ml, 2500ml, 5000ml). Please refer to the product listings for other variants.
What safety precautions should I take when using this solvent-based paint?
Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and a respirator if spraying or working in poorly ventilated spaces. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full details.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick for application
Stir thoroughly and add an appropriate solvent (e.g., White Spirit) gradually until the desired viscosity is reached for brushing, rolling, or spraying. Refer to product data sheet for specific thinner recommendations.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. Remove any rust or contaminants. Use a suitable primer on bare surfaces. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Uneven finish or brush marks
Apply paint evenly with smooth, consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure correct viscosity. Consider using a high-quality brush or roller designed for solvent-based paints.
Slow drying time
Ensure application is within the recommended temperature and humidity range. Avoid applying in damp or cold conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation, which can aid drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease, rust, and old flaking paint. Lightly abrade surfaces for optimal adhesion. For bare metal, a suitable primer is recommended. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Adjust viscosity with an appropriate solvent if necessary for your application method (brush, roller, or spray).
Compatibility: This is a solvent-based enamel suitable for vehicles including cars, motorbikes, tractors, and railway locomotives. It is also available in various colour standards. Always test on an inconspicuous area if unsure about compatibility with existing finishes or substrates.
Care: Once fully cured, surfaces coated with Palatine Paints Professional Coach Enamel can be cleaned with mild detergents and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Regular cleaning will help maintain the paint's appearance and longevity. Allow ample time for full curing before subjecting the painted surface to heavy use or harsh conditions.
