Product Information

Full details

This Hycote Spray Paint Kit is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and hobbyists needing to refresh or repair small automotive parts with a specific Vauxhall/Opel Boracay Blue color. Its key benefit is the concentrated formula offering the coverage of a larger can in a 150ml size, paired with a primer and clear lacquer for a professional finish. A potential caveat is the smaller can size, requiring careful application for larger areas.

FAQs

What is the coverage of the 150ml can?

Thanks to its compressed aerosol technology, a 150ml can provides the same coverage as a conventional 300ml aerosol can.

Can I use this paint on plastic parts?

Yes, provided the plastic surface is properly cleaned, degreased, and primed using a suitable primer compatible with plastics. The included grey primer is designed for a variety of substrates.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying, but recoating times will vary depending on temperature and humidity. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats as per general spray paint application guidelines.

Is the clear lacquer necessary?

While not strictly mandatory for adhesion, the clear lacquer is highly recommended. It provides a protective layer against UV damage, enhances gloss, and increases the durability of the finish.

What is the difference between this and regular spray paint?

This is a double acrylic concentrated paint. It offers enhanced durability, better adhesion, and superior resistance to fading compared to standard spray paints. The compressed aerosol technology also means more efficient coverage from a smaller can.

How should I store the spray can after use?

After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or spitting

Ensure the can is held at the correct distance and moved at a consistent speed. Clean the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying for a few seconds. If the issue persists, try a new can.

Paint runs or drips

The paint is likely being applied too thickly or from too close. Apply in several lighter coats rather than one heavy coat. Ensure the can is held at the recommended distance (15-25 cm).

Poor adhesion or chipping

The surface may not have been properly prepared or primed. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Use the included primer and allow it to dry fully before applying the color coat.

Color does not match

Confirm the correct color code and vehicle model (Vauxhall/Opel Boracay Blue). Ensure the surface was properly primed, as primer color can affect the topcoat appearance. This product is a specific match and may not be suitable for all blue finishes.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease and contaminants. For best results, lightly abrade the surface and ensure it is properly primed using the included Hycote Grey Primer.
  2. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes after the mixing ball begins to rattle.
  3. Hold the can upright and spray from a distance of approximately 15-25 cm (6-10 inches).
  4. Apply in several light, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between each coat.

Compatibility:

  • The paint is compatible with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) finishes.
  • It can also be applied over existing acrylic and cellulosic paints.
  • The included primer is designed for a wide variety of substrates. The clear lacquer is compatible with the double acrylic base coat.

Care:

  • Keep the nozzle clean after use. Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle.
  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition.
