FAQs

How long should I shake the can before using?

Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the pigment and propellant are fully mixed.

What is the recommended spraying distance?

Hold the can approximately 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) away from the surface for optimal application and to avoid runs.

Can this paint be used on interior car parts?

Yes, it can be used on interior parts provided they are properly prepared and the area is well-ventilated during application and drying.

What is the shelf life of the product?

The paint has a shelf life of 60 months when stored correctly in a cool, dry place.

How do I prevent the nozzle from clogging?

After each use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds until only clear propellant comes out. This clears the valve and nozzle.

What surfaces is this spray paint suitable for?

It is suitable for most automotive surfaces including primed metal, plastic, and existing paintwork, though testing on an inconspicuous area is recommended.

Does this paint require a primer?

While it can be applied directly to some surfaces, using a compatible automotive primer will ensure better adhesion, durability, and a more uniform finish.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or sputtering

Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly before and during use. Clear the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying briefly. If clogging persists, use a suitable solvent to clean the nozzle tip.

Paint not adhering well

Verify that the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and primed before application. Ensure the surface was dry and free of contaminants.

Runs or drips in the finish

Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface (typically 20-30 cm). Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Poor coverage

Apply additional thin coats rather than attempting to achieve full coverage with a single heavy application. Ensure adequate product is being dispensed by shaking the can properly.

Pros and Cons

  • Fast drying formulation speeds up project timelines.
  • High heat resistance makes it suitable for more demanding applications.

Cons

  • Requires proper ventilation during use due to aerosol nature.

  • Color matching may be challenging for older or custom paint jobs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the application area is well-ventilated, ideally outdoors or in a spray booth. Protect surrounding areas with masking tape and paper. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Perform a test spray on a scrap piece of material.

Compatibility: This paint is designed for automotive applications. It is compatible with most primed surfaces, including metal and certain plastics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure about substrate compatibility.

Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging. Clean any accidental spills immediately with appropriate solvent.
