FAQs

What is 'Double Coverage Technology'?

This technology means the aerosol contains more paint solids and less propellant compared to standard aerosols. This results in a finer spray and greater coverage per can, making it more efficient.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. Typically, it is touch-dry within 15-20 minutes, but recoating is recommended after 10-15 minutes for best results. Full curing may take longer depending on conditions.

Can I use this paint on plastics?

Yes, this paint is suitable for plastics. However, it's always recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and adhesion.

How many coats should I apply?

It is best to apply multiple thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. This provides a smoother, more durable finish. Allow approximately 10-15 minutes between each coat.

Is this paint resistant to fading?

Yes, the paint has excellent resistance to sunlight and fading, ensuring the color remains vibrant over time.

How should I store the spray can?

Store the can upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or ignition. Ensure the nozzle is clear after use.

What is the manufacturer's paint code for this color?

The manufacturer's paint codes for BMW Deep Sea Blue Metallic are A76 and WA76.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or sputtering

Shake the can more vigorously. Clear the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds, or by soaking the nozzle in warm water or solvent.

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and lightly abraded if necessary. Check that the surface is completely dry before application.

Runs or drips in the paint finish

Apply paint in thinner coats and maintain a consistent distance from the surface. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Ensure the can is not held too close to the surface.

Color does not match expected finish

Verify the correct paint code (A76, WA76 for BMW Deep Sea Blue Metallic) was purchased. Ensure the underlying surface color is not significantly altering the final appearance. Allow paint to fully cure as color can deepen over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, and rust. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.
  2. Environment: Use in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Protect surrounding areas from overspray.
  3. Shaking: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before and occasionally during use.
  4. Application: Hold the can upright, approximately 25-30 cm from the surface. Apply in smooth, even strokes, using a constant sweeping motion.
  5. Coats: Apply multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat. Allow 10-15 minutes between coats.

Compatibility:

  • Finishes: Compatible with existing OEM finishes, acrylic, and cellulosic coatings.
  • Surfaces: Suitable for use on primed metal, wood, plastic, and ceramics. For plastics, ensure compatibility by testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Care:

  • Storage: Store can upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Dispose of empty cans responsibly.
  • Cleaning: After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If the nozzle becomes blocked, remove and soak it in warm water or a suitable solvent, then dry thoroughly before reinserting.
