FAQs

What Audi paint codes is this compatible with?

This Autotek spray paint is an exact match for Audi Quartz Grey Metallic, specifically paint codes LY7G, Q4, LA8V, U5, and Y7G.

What surfaces can I use this spray paint on?

The paint is formulated for durable finishing on metal, fiberglass, and rigid plastic surfaces.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is touch dry in 10-20 minutes, but requires a full 24 hours to cure completely.

Do I need to use a primer?

While not strictly mandatory for all applications, applying a minimum of two coats of Autotek Red Primer is highly recommended for optimum adhesion and the best possible finish.

What is the ideal temperature for application?

The ideal temperature range for application is between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid applying in extreme temperatures.

Can I use this paint on other car brands?

While the formula is versatile and compatible with nearly all automotive paint finishes, the exact colour match is specifically for Audi Quartz Grey Metallic. It may be used on other brands if the colour matches.

How should I clean the nozzle after use?

After each use, invert the can and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle. If it becomes clogged, you can attempt to clean it with a solvent if appropriate for the nozzle material, or replace the nozzle if possible.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or splattering

Shake the can thoroughly for at least two minutes before and during use. Ensure the nozzle is clean. Test spray on a scrap surface first. Maintain consistent distance and speed while spraying.

Runs or drips in the paint

The paint was applied too thickly or too close to the surface. Allow the affected area to dry, then lightly sand and reapply in thin, even coats from the recommended distance.

Poor adhesion or peeling

The surface was not properly prepared (e.g., not clean, not primed). Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Apply a suitable primer for best results.

Nozzle clogged after use

Turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds after each application to clear the nozzle. If already clogged, try soaking the nozzle in a solvent (like paint thinner) if safe for the nozzle material.
