FAQs

Can I use this on non-Vauxhall vehicles?

This kit is specifically color-matched to Vauxhall Flame Red. Using it on other vehicle colors will result in a mismatch.

Do I need to apply a clear coat after using this?

While the acrylic paint is durable, applying a clear coat is recommended if you want to achieve the deep gloss and high protection levels of a factory finish.

How long should I wait between coats?

The paint is fast-drying, but allow 10-15 minutes between coats depending on the ambient temperature.

Is this paint suitable for plastic bumpers?

Yes, but ensure you use a plastic adhesion promoter if the plastic is bare or has been sanded down significantly.

What is the total coverage area of one 150ml kit?

Because of the compressed technology, it covers the same area as a standard 300ml can, typically enough for several small touch-ups or a localized panel repair.

Can I use this in direct sunlight?

No. Avoid spraying in direct sunlight, as the heat can cause the paint to dry too quickly, leading to an uneven, 'dusty' finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is running or sagging during application

You are likely holding the can too close to the surface or applying too much paint at once. Use lighter, faster sweeping motions.

Spray nozzle is sputtering or clogging

Shake the can more thoroughly before use and ensure you are not spraying in extreme cold. Clean the nozzle tip with a cloth dampened with thinners if necessary.

Paint does not adhere to the surface

The surface was likely not cleaned or degreased properly. Sand the area, clean thoroughly with a degreaser, and re-apply the primer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High paint coverage in a compact container size
  • Excellent resistance to environmental fading and sunlight
  • Fast-drying formula reduces wait times between coats
  • Compatible with a wide variety of existing automotive paint types
  • Professional nozzle design prevents common application errors like drips

Cons

  • Volume is limited to 150ml, best for small repairs rather than full body panels
  • Requires careful surface preparation for optimal results
  • Strict environmental conditions (temperature/humidity) are needed for the best finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before beginning, ensure the vehicle surface is completely free of wax, oil, and loose debris; cleaning with an automotive degreaser is highly recommended. The product performs best at room temperature (around 15-25 degrees Celsius). Always shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before spraying to ensure the pigments are properly mixed. Practice on a piece of cardboard first to calibrate your spray distance—ideally 20-30cm from the surface. After finishing, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle, which prevents clogging for future use. Keep the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the chemicals.
