Can I use this paint on other car brands?

What surfaces can this spray paint be applied to?

The paint provides a strong and durable coat suitable for application on metal, glass fibre, and rigid plastic surfaces.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint should be touch dry in approximately 10-20 minutes after application. It requires a full 24 hours to cure completely.

Do I need to use a primer before applying this paint?

While not strictly mandatory for all uses, applying a minimum of two coats of Autotek Grey Primer or a compatible primer is recommended for optimum adhesion and the best possible professional finish.

What are the ideal conditions for applying this spray paint?

The paint should be applied outdoors or in a well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid humid conditions.

How do I prevent the spray nozzle from getting blocked?

After each use, turn the aerosol can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear any residual paint from the nozzle.

Troubleshooting

Paint nozzle is blocked

Turn the aerosol upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds after each use to clear the nozzle. If blockage persists, try gently warming the nozzle in warm water (do not heat the can).

Uneven or drippy finish

Ensure thin coats are applied, with adequate drying time between them. Maintain the recommended spraying distance (15-25cm) and avoid applying too much paint at once.

Poor adhesion or finish on the surface

Verify that the surface was properly cleaned and prepared before application. Ensure primer was used as recommended for optimal results.

Paint not drying properly

Check the ambient temperature; it should be between 15°C-25°C. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid applying in humid conditions.
