FAQs
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is typically touch-dry within 10-15 minutes and fully cured within 24-48 hours, depending on application thickness and environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.
Can this spray paint be used outdoors?
Yes, it is suitable for outdoor use and provides a durable finish. For enhanced protection against weathering, consider applying a clear coat sealant.
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
This spray paint is designed for a wide variety of surfaces including metal, wood, plastic, and masonry. Always ensure the surface is properly prepared and clean.
How do I clean up excess paint or spills?
Wet paint can be cleaned with a solvent such as white spirit. Dried paint may require sanding and repainting. Always clean the nozzle after use by inverting the can and spraying until clear.
Do I need to use a primer?
For most surfaces like metal and wood, a primer is not strictly necessary but can improve adhesion and finish, especially on porous or uneven surfaces. A primer is highly recommended for plastics.
What is the coverage of a 400 ml can?
A 400 ml can typically covers approximately 1.5 to 2 square meters with a single coat, depending on the surface and application technique. Multiple coats are usually required.
Is this paint safe to use indoors?
While it can be used indoors, it is essential to ensure adequate ventilation due to the solvent-based nature of the paint. Use in a well-ventilated area or wear appropriate respiratory protection.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or splattering
Shake the can more thoroughly for at least two minutes. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Try spraying a test pattern on scrap material. If the issue persists, the can may be faulty.
Paint is not adhering to the surface
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or rust. If painting plastic, use a plastic primer first. Ensure adequate distance from the surface during application.
Runs or drips appear on the surface
You may be holding the can too close or applying too much paint in one go. Apply lighter, thinner coats and allow adequate drying time between applications. Smooth out drips once the paint is touch-dry, or sand and repaint.
Nozzle clogged after use
Immediately after use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If already clogged, try removing the nozzle and soaking it in a solvent, then re-attach and test.
Color does not match expectation
Ensure you are viewing the paint in good lighting conditions. Note that colors can appear differently on various surfaces and under different lighting. For best color matching, refer to the color on the can label under natural light.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Hold the can upright and approximately 25-30 cm away from the surface to be painted. Apply in short, even strokes, overlapping each stroke slightly. For best results, apply multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat, allowing 5-10 minutes drying time between coats.
Compatibility: This spray paint is suitable for most surfaces including metal, wood, plastic, and masonry. For certain plastics, a plastic primer may be recommended to ensure adhesion. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Care: After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Clean up wet paint immediately with a suitable solvent (like white spirit) or appropriate cleaning wipes. Once dry, the paint is generally resistant to water and mild cleaning agents. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
