FAQs
Does this paint require a clear coat?
While it provides a durable finish on its own, applying an automotive-grade clear coat can provide extra protection and depth.
Can I use this on interior plastic parts?
Yes, provided the plastic is rigid and properly cleaned and primed first.
How long should I wait between coats?
Wait until the previous coat is touch-dry; this time can vary based on ambient temperature and humidity.
Is this paint resistant to high temperatures?
This is designed for exterior body panels and is not intended for use on high-heat components like exhaust manifolds or engine blocks.
What is the best way to store the can?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, ensuring the cap is replaced securely.
Troubleshooting
Paint is running or dripping
You are applying the paint too thickly. Use lighter coats and increase the distance between the can and the surface.
Rough or gritty finish
This is often caused by dust in the air or holding the can too far away, causing the paint to dry before it hits the surface. Ensure a clean environment.
Paint is not adhering
The surface was likely not cleaned correctly. Remove the paint, degrease the surface, and ensure it is free of wax or silicone residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use to mix the pigments thoroughly. Hold the canister approximately 20-30 centimeters away from the target surface, using steady, overlapping strokes.
Compatibility:
- Surfaces: Suitable for primed metal, fiberglass, and rigid automotive plastics.
- Maintenance: Once fully cured, the paint can be maintained with standard automotive waxes or sealants to preserve the finish. If the nozzle clogs during use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the valve.
