FAQs

Is this paint suitable for all Ford models?

This paint is an exact color match for specific Ford models from 1983-1992 with Nimbus Grey paint code 7 (1801C). For other models or colors, an exact match may not be guaranteed.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is typically touch dry within 10-20 minutes. Full curing takes approximately 24 hours.

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, it is recommended to only use this product outdoors or in a very well-ventilated area due to the nature of spray paints.

What surfaces can I apply this paint to?

The paint is designed for metal, glass fibre, and rigid plastic surfaces.

Do I need to use a primer?

Yes, applying a minimum of two coats of Autotek Grey Primer is recommended for optimum adhesion and the best possible finish.

What is the temperature range for application?

For best results, apply the paint when temperatures are between 15°C and 25°C.

How should I clean the nozzle after use?

After each use, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent it from becoming blocked.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or sputtering

Shake the can more vigorously before and during use. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked by spraying upside down for a few seconds after use. Clean the nozzle with a solvent if necessary.

Poor adhesion or peeling

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased. Apply Autotek Grey Primer before painting for better adhesion. Avoid applying in humid conditions or temperatures outside the recommended range.

Color does not match

Verify the Manufacturer Paint Code (7, 1801C) and the vehicle's year range (1983-1992). Ensure the underlying primer color is consistent. Different paint batches can have minor variations.

Paint runs or sags

Apply paint in thinner coats. Increase the distance between the can and the surface. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Avoid applying in overly humid or cold conditions.
