FAQs

What is 'double coverage'?

Double coverage means the can contains more paint relative to propellant, allowing it to cover approximately twice the area compared to standard aerosol cans.

Can I use this on bare metal?

Yes, this paint is suitable for bare metal. Ensure the metal is clean, dry, and free from rust. For best results, consider applying a suitable primer first.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. Typically, it is touch-dry within 10-15 minutes, but recoat times should also be considered for optimal finish.

What surfaces can this paint be used on?

It is compatible with metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics. Always ensure proper surface preparation, and use a primer for plastics if needed.

Is this paint UV resistant?

Yes, Hycote Double Acrylic Paints offer excellent resistance to sunlight and fading, helping to maintain the color's integrity over time.

How do I clean the nozzle after use?

After spraying, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear any remaining paint from the nozzle. This prevents clogging.

Can this paint be used with other paint types?

Yes, it is compatible with OEM finishes and suitable for use over acrylic and cellulosic finishes.

Troubleshooting

Paint not spraying evenly.

Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is clear by spraying briefly. Hold the can at the correct distance and apply in even, sweeping motions.

Runs or sags appearing.

Apply paint in lighter coats. Increase the distance between the can and the surface. Ensure you are not applying too much paint in one go.

Poor adhesion or flaking.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces. Use an appropriate primer if necessary, especially on plastics.

Nozzle blockage.

Try clearing the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying. If persistent, remove the nozzle and soak it in a solvent like cellulose thinners, then rinse and dry before reattaching.
