FAQs

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying times vary depending on temperature and humidity. Refer to the can for specific drying times, usually between 10-30 minutes for touch dry.

Can I use this paint on plastic parts?

Yes, this paint is suitable for use on plastics, as well as metals, wood, and ceramics.

Do I need to use a primer?

It's generally recommended to use a primer, especially on bare metal or plastic surfaces, to improve adhesion and provide a better finish. Check for primer compatibility with the paint.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

Apply thin, even coats until the damage is covered. Typically, 2-3 coats are sufficient, but this may vary depending on the extent of the damage.

What kind of clear coat should I use?

Use a clear coat that is compatible with acrylic paints. Follow the clear coat manufacturer's instructions.

How much paint is in the can?

The can contains 150ml of paint.

Where can I find the paint code for my BMW?

The paint code is usually located on a sticker inside the driver's side door or in the engine bay.

Troubleshooting

Paint is running or sagging.

Apply thinner coats and ensure you're holding the can the correct distance from the surface.

Colour doesn't match perfectly.

Ensure proper surface preparation. Apply multiple thin coats, allowing each to dry fully. Consider a clear coat application.

Spray nozzle clogs.

Clean the nozzle after each use. Turn the can upside down and spray until only propellant comes out.

Paint doesn't adhere well.

Ensure the surface is properly cleaned and degreased. Lightly sand the area to provide a better surface for adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Clean the area to be painted with a wax and grease remover. Sand the damaged area lightly with fine-grit sandpaper to create a smooth surface.
  2. Compatibility: This paint is compatible with existing OEM finishes on BMW vehicles. It is suitable for use on acrylic and cellulosic finishes. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Application: Shake the can well for at least two minutes before use. Hold the can approximately 15-20 cm from the surface and apply in thin, even coats. Avoid applying too much paint at once to prevent runs or sags.
  4. Drying Time: Allow each coat to dry for the time recommended on the can before applying additional coats or a clear coat.
  5. Care: Once the paint has fully cured, wash the painted area with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes for the first few weeks.
