FAQs
Is this product ready to spray out of the bottle?
No, this is a concentrated special effect colour that must be mixed with the appropriate base or clear coat system according to the manufacturer's technical data sheets.
Can I use this on plastic parts?
Yes, provided you use the correct plastic adhesion promoter and primer system before applying the colour.
What is the shelf life of the 110ml bottle?
When stored in a cool, dry, and sealed environment, the pigment remains stable, but always check for separation and stir thoroughly before use.
Do I need to apply a clear coat over this?
Yes, a high-quality automotive clear coat is required to protect the pigment and achieve the necessary gloss and depth.
Can this be used with a standard paintbrush?
It is strongly recommended to use HVLP spray equipment to ensure an even, professional-grade finish; brushing will likely leave visible streaks.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or "mottling" effect
Ensure consistent overlap during spray passes and verify the correct spray gun pressure settings.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Verify that the base layer was properly sanded and degreased before applying the special effect pigment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your workspace is well-ventilated and that you are wearing appropriate protective equipment (PPE). The BW88 should be mixed thoroughly with a high-quality thinner and clear coat system compatible with the Octoral product line. Always perform a spray-out card test before applying to your vehicle component to verify the color match and application density. To maintain the finish, use mild automotive detergents and avoid aggressive polishing compounds that could degrade the special effect layer over time.
