Product Information
Full details
The Rapide Hammer Effect Spray is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts and metalworkers looking to achieve a textured, durable, and protective finish on metal surfaces. Perfect for both interior and exterior projects, this spray provides a distinctive professional look while guarding against wear and tear. A key caveat to keep in mind is that the 400ml can contains 100ml of paint and 300ml of propellant, meaning it is best suited for small-scale projects or touch-ups rather than covering large structures.

FAQs
Can I use this on plastic surfaces?
This product is specifically formulated for metal surfaces; it may not adhere properly to plastic without a specific plastic bonding primer.
Is the finish weather-resistant?
Yes, it is designed for both interior and exterior use, though a clear lacquer topcoat is recommended for maximum outdoor longevity.
Does the color on the cap match the paint exactly?
The cap color is a representative guide, but please note that due to printing limitations, the actual paint color may vary slightly.
How many coats should I apply?
For best results, apply two thin coats rather than one heavy coat, allowing sufficient drying time between applications.
Is it safe to use this indoors?
Yes, but always use in a well-ventilated area or outdoors to ensure fumes can dissipate safely.
Troubleshooting
Nozzle is clogging or sputtering
Clear the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying for 2-3 seconds, or remove the nozzle and soak it in warm soapy water.
Paint finish looks uneven
Ensure you are shaking the can sufficiently before and during use; verify that you are holding the can at a consistent 25cm distance from the surface.
Finish is peeling off shortly after application
This is often caused by lack of surface preparation; sand the metal surface, clean with a degreaser, and ensure a primer is applied first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your metal surface is clean, dry, and free from loose rust or grease. While the paint adheres well to most metals, using a dedicated metal primer is highly recommended to improve adhesion and durability, especially on porous surfaces. Always conduct a test spray on an inconspicuous area or a scrap piece of metal to verify the texture and finish. For care, store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging.
