FAQs

What is the exact Volvo paint code this product matches?

This Autotek aerosol spray paint matches Volvo manufacturer paint code 492, known as Saville Grey.

What is the recommended application distance for this spray paint?

Hold the can upright approximately 25-30 cm (10-12 inches) away from the surface for optimal application.

Can this paint be used on plastic parts?

Yes, this paint is suitable for application on rigid plastic surfaces, as well as metal and glass fibre.

How many coats should I apply?

It is recommended to apply a minimum of two coats, allowing adequate drying time between each application for best results.

Is primer necessary before using this paint?

While not strictly mandatory for all surfaces, applying a compatible primer (like Autotek Grey Primer) is highly recommended to ensure optimal adhesion, durability, and a superior finish.

What is the drying time for this spray paint?

The formula is fast-drying, but specific drying times depend on temperature, humidity, and coat thickness. Allow sufficient time between coats and full curing before exposure to harsh conditions.

How should I store the unused spray paint can?

Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and open flames. Ensure the cap is securely fitted after use.

Troubleshooting

Uneven paint application or "orange peel" effect

Ensure the can is held at the correct distance (25-30 cm) and moved in a steady, even motion. Apply in lighter, overlapping coats rather than heavy ones. Shake the can more frequently during use.

Paint not adhering well or flaking

The surface was likely not properly cleaned or prepared. Ensure all grease, wax, and contaminants are removed. Ensure primer was used and allowed to dry completely before applying the topcoat.

Runs or drips in the paint finish

Applied paint too thickly or too close to the surface. Use lighter coats and maintain the recommended spray distance. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Aerosol can not spraying properly

Shake the can vigorously for two minutes before use. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked; if necessary, clean the nozzle with a solvent and re-test. If the can is empty, replace it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is Crucial:

  2. Masking: Carefully mask off the surrounding areas that should not be painted to prevent overspray. Use masking tape and paper or sheeting.

  • Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes before use and intermittently during use.
  • Hold the can upright, approximately 25-30 cm (10-12 inches) away from the surface.

Care:
