Troubleshooting

Paint nozzle is blocked or clogged.

After each use, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle. If blockage persists, try gently cleaning the nozzle with a solvent or replace the can.

Uneven or streaky finish.

Ensure you are applying thin, even coats from the correct distance (15-25cm). Avoid applying too much paint at once. Build up the colour with multiple light coats.

Poor adhesion or paint peeling.

The surface may not have been adequately cleaned or prepared. Ensure the surface is free from grease, wax, and dirt. Using a recommended primer is crucial for proper adhesion.

Paint runs or sags.

This is likely due to applying the paint too thickly or from too close a distance. Remove the run, allow the area to dry, and reapply with thinner coats from a greater distance.

Paint does not dry properly.

Check the ambient temperature; it should be between 15°C-25°C. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Avoid applying in humid conditions.
