FAQs
What specific Ford models and years is this paint compatible with?
This paint is compatible with Ford Courier, Escort, Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, Galaxy, Granada, Ka, Mondeo, Orion & Puma models manufactured between 1995 and 2006, provided they match the paint codes F, H, K, or 2772CM-1.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
The paint is typically touch dry within 10-20 minutes after application. A full cure, where the paint reaches its maximum hardness and durability, takes approximately 24 hours.
Can I use this spray paint on surfaces other than metal?
Yes, the paint is suitable for application on metal, glass fibre, and rigid plastic surfaces, provided they are properly prepared.
Do I need to use a primer?
While not strictly mandatory for all applications, using a minimum of two coats of Autotek Grey Primer is highly recommended for optimal adhesion, durability, and the best possible finish. It ensures a smooth, uniform base for the topcoat.
What is the best temperature for applying this spray paint?
The paint should be applied in an environment with temperatures between 15°C and 25°C for best results. Avoid applying in very cold or excessively hot conditions.
How should I clean the spray nozzle after use?
After each application, turn the aerosol can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds. This clears any paint from the nozzle, preventing it from becoming blocked for future use.
Can this paint be used over existing paint?
Yes, this paint is compatible with nearly all automotive paint finishes, including cellulose. Ensure the existing paint surface is clean, dry, and in good condition before applying.
Troubleshooting
Paint is sputtering or not spraying evenly.
Shake the can more vigorously for at least 2 minutes. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked by turning the can upside down and spraying briefly after use. Check that the can is at room temperature (15°C-25°C).
The colour match is not exact.
Verify the correct Ford paint code (F, H, K, 2772CM-1) for your specific vehicle model and year. Ensure the original paint surface is not faded or damaged, which can affect perceived match. For best results, always apply over a compatible primer.
Paint is running or dripping.
You are likely applying the paint too thickly or too close to the surface. Apply paint in multiple thin, even coats, maintaining a consistent distance of 15-25cm. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Poor adhesion or peeling.
The surface was not properly prepared. Ensure the area was cleaned, degreased, and free from rust or contaminants. Applying over a primer is essential for optimal adhesion. Ensure the application temperature is within the recommended range.
