FAQs

What specific Vauxhall paint code does this product match?

This Autotek spray paint provides an exact colour match for Vauxhall Silverlake Metallic, identified by paint codes 179, 11S, and GEV.

What surfaces can I use this spray paint on?

The paint is formulated for durable finishes on metal, fiberglass, and rigid plastic surfaces common in automotive applications.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is touch dry in approximately 10-20 minutes, but it requires a full 24 hours to cure completely.

Can I use this spray paint indoors?

It is recommended to use this product only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area due to its solvent-based nature.

What is the ideal temperature for applying this paint?

The optimal application temperature range is between 15°C and 25°C for the best results and proper drying.

Do I need to use a primer?

Yes, applying a minimum of two coats of Autotek Grey Primer is recommended for optimum adhesion and the best possible finish, especially on bare surfaces.

Is this paint compatible with other automotive paints?

Yes, this spray paint is compatible with nearly all automotive paint finishes, including cellulose finishes.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or splattering

Ensure the aerosol can is shaken sufficiently (at least 2 minutes). Check that the nozzle is not blocked; if so, clean or replace. Maintain a consistent spray distance of 15-25cm and use steady, overlapping strokes.

Paint runs or drips

This usually indicates the paint is applied too thickly or too closely to the surface. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat, allowing adequate drying time between applications. Ensure the spray distance is maintained.

Poor adhesion or chipping

The surface may not have been properly prepared or primed. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Always use a suitable primer, like Autotek Grey Primer, for optimal adhesion, especially on bare surfaces.

Colour mismatch

Verify that the paint code (Vauxhall Silverlake Metallic: 179, 11S, GEV) matches the vehicle's original paint. Minor variations can occur due to age or previous paintwork; ensure the surface is clean and the paint is applied evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is key for optimal results:

Application:

  1. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes before use.
  2. Hold the can 15-25cm away from the surface and spray in smooth, even strokes.
  3. Apply multiple thin coats, allowing 10-20 minutes drying time between each coat.
  4. After each application, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent blockages.
  5. The paint should be touch dry within 10-20 minutes.
  6. Allow a full 24 hours for the paint to cure completely.

Important Usage Notes:

  • Only use outdoors or in a very well-ventilated area.
