Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or splattering
Ensure the can is shaken sufficiently before and during use. Hold the can upright and at the correct distance (usually 15-25 cm) from the surface. Clear any blockages in the nozzle by removing it and soaking it in a suitable solvent, then reattaching.
Paint not adhering well
Verify that the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Ensure no grease, oil, or silicone residues were present. Lightly sanding the surface before painting can significantly improve adhesion.
Runs or drips in the finish
Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Maintain a consistent spraying distance and speed. If runs occur, allow them to dry partially and then carefully smooth them out with a rag or a very fine-grit sandpaper before applying the next coat.
Poor coverage
Ensure you are applying in thin, even coats. If the original surface color is very dark or bright and you are painting over it with a lighter color, multiple coats will be necessary. Check the coverage estimate on the can and ensure you have enough product.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease or contaminants. Lightly abrading the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 240-grit) can improve adhesion, especially on very smooth UPVC. Mask off any adjacent areas that are not to be painted using painter's tape and masking paper. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use and periodically during application. Test spray on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Compatibility: This paint is specifically formulated for UPVC but is also compatible with composite doors, conservatories, fascias, drainpipes, guttering, MDF, metal, and wood. Always test on a small, hidden area of any new material before proceeding with the entire project.
Care: Once fully cured (refer to can for specific drying times), surfaces coated with INNOV8 COATINGS UPVC Window Spray Paint are washable. Use a damp cloth with mild detergent for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the finish. Ensure good ventilation during application and allow adequate drying time before exposing the surface to heavy weather or use.
