Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is crucial for the best results.
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the area to be painted is thoroughly cleaned and free from dirt, rust, wax, and oil.
- Masking: Carefully mask off surrounding areas to prevent overspray.

Application Steps:
- Shake the Aerosol: Shake the can vigorously for approximately 2 minutes before use.
- Spray Distance: Hold the aerosol 15-25cm away from the surface.
- Coats: Apply several thin coats, allowing 10-20 minutes between each coat. Avoid applying one thick coat.
- Nozzle Clear: After each use, turn the aerosol upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent blockages.
