FAQs
What does 'double coverage' mean?
It means that the paint in this can provides approximately twice the coverage area compared to a standard 150ml spray paint can, due to its advanced formula and propellant system.
Can I use this on bare plastic without a primer?
While it may adhere slightly, it is strongly recommended to use a Hycote primer specifically designed for plastic surfaces to ensure proper adhesion, durability, and a flawless finish.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint is super-fast drying. Typically, it is touch-dry in a short period, with recoating possible after 10-15 minutes. Full curing takes longer, usually around 24 hours, but always refer to the specific instructions on the can.
What is the best way to clean the spray nozzle after use?
Immediately after finishing your spraying, turn the can upside down and press the nozzle for a few seconds until only clear propellant emerges. This prevents paint from drying inside the nozzle.
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
Yes, the paint is designed for extreme durability and can be used for exterior automotive applications. For maximum protection against UV rays and weathering, it is recommended to follow up with a Hycote lacquer.
How many coats are generally recommended?
For best results, apply multiple thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Usually, 2-3 coats are sufficient, but this can vary depending on the coverage of the underlying surface and the desired finish.
What kind of surfaces can I apply this paint to?
This spray paint is suitable for primed metal, plastic, and ceramic surfaces, as well as compatible with acrylic and cellulose paint finishes.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or splattering
Shake the can more vigorously for at least two minutes. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged; if necessary, clean it by turning the can upside down and spraying briefly. Apply in thinner, even coats from the recommended distance (typically 20-30 cm).
Paint is not adhering well
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and properly primed with a compatible primer. Re-sanding lightly and re-priming may be necessary before re-application.
Runs or drips forming
The paint is likely being applied too thickly or too close to the surface. Reduce the pressure on the spray nozzle and apply in multiple thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between each coat.
Can will not spray
Check if the nozzle is blocked. If not, the can may be empty or the internal valve mechanism may be faulty. Try clearing the nozzle again. Ensure the can is held upright during spraying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and dirt. For best results, apply a suitable Hycote primer appropriate for the surface material (metal, plastic, etc.). Allow the primer to dry completely.
- Environment: Use in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Protect surrounding areas from overspray.
- Can Preparation: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes after the mixing ball begins to rattle. This ensures the pigments and binders are fully integrated.
Compatibility:
- Surfaces: Suitable for primed metal, plastic, and ceramic.
- Paint Systems: Compatible with both acrylic and cellulose paint finishes. For optimal results and maximum protection, combine with Hycote primers and lacquers.
Care:
- Post-Application: Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 24 hours, but check can for specifics) before exposing it to harsh conditions or cleaning.
- Storage: Store cans upright in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is replaced securely after use.
- Nozzle Care: After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent blockages.
