Product Information
Full details
This Hycote Double Acrylic Spray Paint Kit is designed for DIY enthusiasts and hobbyists needing to touch up or refresh metallic surfaces, particularly on vehicles. Its key benefit is providing manufacturer-matched, high-quality finishes in a convenient aerosol format with excellent coverage. A potential caveat is the 150ml container size, which offers the coverage of a larger can but requires careful application for larger areas.

FAQs
What is the coverage of a 150ml can?
Each 150ml can provides the same coverage as a conventional 300ml aerosol can due to its compressed aerosol technology.
Can I use this paint on plastic parts?
Yes, the paint is compatible with primed surfaces. Ensure the plastic is properly cleaned, degreased, and primed using a suitable plastic primer or the included Hycote Grey Primer for best results.
How long should I wait between coats?
Refer to the specific instructions on each can. Generally, allow 5-10 minutes between coats for fast-drying acrylics, but always ensure the surface is touch-dry.
What is the purpose of the primer and lacquer included in the kit?
The Grey Primer provides a uniform base for the paint, improving adhesion and colour depth. The Clear Lacquer adds a protective, high-gloss finish that guards against UV damage and enhances durability.
Is this paint suitable for engine components?
This is a Double Acrylic paint and is not specified for high-temperature applications. For engine components, use a paint specifically designed for high-heat environments.
How do I clean up paint from tools or accidental spills?
While the paint is still wet, use a cloth with a suitable solvent like cellulose thinners. Once dry, it may require sanding and repainting.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or splattering
Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly and frequently. Hold the can upright and at a consistent distance from the surface. Clear the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying after use.
Runs or drips
Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface. Reduce spraying pressure if possible or ensure the can is not held too close.
Poor paint coverage
Ensure the surface is properly primed and clean. Apply multiple thin coats rather than attempting to cover in one go. Shake the can more frequently.
Paint not drying
Ensure application is in a well-ventilated area with appropriate temperature and humidity. Avoid applying excessively thick coats.
