FAQs
Can I use this on plastic bumpers?
Yes, but you should use a suitable plastic adhesion promoter before applying the Powercan to ensure long-term bonding.
How long should I wait before sanding?
Wait until the primer is fully touch-dry and cured, typically at least 30 to 60 minutes depending on ambient temperature and humidity.
Is this a topcoat paint?
No, this is a primer and filler designed to provide a base for topcoats. It is not intended to be the final layer.
Can I apply this over existing paint?
Yes, provided the existing paint is sound and has been sanded to provide a mechanical key for the primer to adhere to.
How many cans do I need for a full door?
Typically, one 500ml can is sufficient for small to medium repair areas, but larger panels may require two cans for proper coverage.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is clogged or sputtering
Remove the nozzle and soak it in thinners, or flip the can upside down and press the nozzle until only clear propellant comes out.
The primer is running or sagging
You are applying the paint too heavily; apply thinner coats and allow more flash-off time between each pass.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Ensure the surface was sanded with the appropriate grit and thoroughly cleaned with a degreaser before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure best results, shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or wax using a professional degreaser. Hold the can approximately 20-30cm from the surface and use smooth, sweeping motions. After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging. Store the aerosol in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain the integrity of the paint.
