FAQs

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is typically touch-dry in 30-40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the coat and environmental conditions.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This enamel paint is suitable for cardboard, ceramic, glass, metal, paper, plastic, wicker, and wood.

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

While the paint is non-fading and long-lasting, it is primarily designed for model and craft use. For extensive outdoor applications, additional protective coatings may be recommended.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with a suitable enamel paint thinner or solvent.

What is the volume of the paint in the bottle?

Each bottle contains 59ml of paint.

Does this paint require a primer?

For best adhesion and colour intensity, especially on porous surfaces like wood or cardboard, priming the surface beforehand is recommended.

Can I mix this paint with other PlastiKote colours?

Yes, you can mix PlastiKote Fast Dry Enamel paints with other PlastiKote enamel paints to create custom shades. Ensure they are from the same type (enamel).

Troubleshooting

Paint not drying properly

Ensure the paint was applied in thin coats. Thick coats take longer to dry. Check ambient temperature and humidity; drying times are affected by environmental conditions. Ensure good ventilation.

Uneven finish or brush marks

Apply paint in thin, even strokes. Use a good quality brush suitable for enamel paints. Ensure the paint is well-mixed. Try applying a second thin coat after the first is touch-dry if necessary.

Paint is too thick to apply

Shake the bottle vigorously. If still too thick, consider adding a small amount of appropriate enamel paint thinner, but do so sparingly to avoid altering the paint's properties.

Surface adhesion issues

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants like oil, grease, or dust. Lightly sanding the surface (if appropriate for the material) can improve adhesion.
