FAQs

What is the primary advantage of Hycote Double Acrylic Aerosol Paint?

The main advantage is its 'double coverage' technology, meaning it covers approximately twice the area of a standard aerosol can, making it more economical and efficient.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Hycote paints are formulated for super-fast drying, but specific drying times will depend on application thickness, temperature, and humidity. It's always best to refer to the product label for precise drying information.

Can I use this paint on plastic parts?

Yes, this paint is suitable for most plastic surfaces, provided they are properly cleaned, degreased, and ideally primed with a suitable plastic primer for maximum adhesion and durability.

What is the best way to achieve a professional finish?

For the best professional finish, ensure thorough surface preparation, use a suitable primer, apply the paint in light, even coats from the recommended distance, and consider using Hycote lacquers for added protection and gloss.

How should I store the spray can after use?

After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. Store the can upright in a cool, dry place, away from heat, sparks, and open flames.

Is this paint compatible with existing car paint?

It is suitable for use on acrylic and cellulose paint finishes. For best results and to avoid incompatibility issues, always test in an inconspicuous area first, especially on modern paint systems.

What does 'colour matched to original vehicle manufacturers paint specifications' mean?

It means the paint color has been precisely formulated to replicate the exact shade used by car manufacturers for specific models, ensuring a seamless match when repairing or touching up original paintwork.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not spraying evenly or sputtering.

Ensure the can has been shaken vigorously for at least two minutes. Check if the nozzle is clear; if not, clear it by turning the can upside down and spraying briefly. If sputtering persists, the can may be empty or the propellant has diminished.

Uneven color or texture on the painted surface.

This often results from inconsistent spraying distance or speed, or insufficient coats. Ensure you maintain a steady distance (25-30cm) and apply in light, even passes. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Surface preparation may also be a factor; ensure the surface was clean and primed.

Paint is peeling or flaking after drying.

This indicates poor adhesion, usually due to inadequate surface preparation. The surface may not have been cleaned properly, or a primer was not used on a challenging surface like bare plastic. Ensure the surface is properly cleaned, degreased, and primed before application.

The can is not spraying at all.

Check that the nozzle is not blocked. Try cleaning it with a fine pin or by turning the can upside down and spraying. Ensure the temperature is within the recommended range for application (typically 10-30°C). If the can has been stored for a long time, the propellant may have dissipated.
