FAQs

What specific vehicle models is this paint compatible with?

This paint is an exact match for Rover 25, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, MGF, Maestro, Metro, Mini, Montego & MG RV8 models manufactured between 1990 and 1999.

Do I need to use a primer?

While not strictly mandatory, applying a primer (like Autotek Red Primer) is highly recommended for optimum adhesion and the best possible finish. Apply a minimum of two coats of primer.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint should be touch dry in 10-20 minutes after application. However, it requires a full 24 hours to cure completely.

Can I use this paint on plastic parts?

Yes, the paint is suitable for application on rigid plastic surfaces, as well as metal and glass fibre.

What is the best temperature for applying the spray paint?

The ideal temperature range for application is between 15°C and 25°C. Ensure good ventilation as well, preferably outdoors.

How should I clean the spray nozzle after use?

After each application, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds. This clears any paint from the nozzle and prevents it from clogging.

Can this paint be used over existing paintwork?

Yes, it is compatible with nearly all automotive paint finishes, including cellulose. Ensure the existing paintwork is clean and in good condition.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or splattering

Ensure the can is shaken adequately before and during use. Check the nozzle for blockages and clear if necessary. Try applying thinner coats from the recommended distance.

Paint runs or drips

This usually occurs from applying paint too thickly or holding the can too close. Apply subsequent coats more thinly and from a greater distance. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Poor adhesion or peeling

The surface was likely not properly cleaned or prepared. Ensure the surface is free from grease, wax, and rust. Consider applying a suitable primer for better adhesion.

Color does not match

Verify that you have selected the correct paint code (C0Q) for your vehicle's year and model. Ensure the original paint has not faded significantly, which may require professional color matching or blending.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is key for a successful application:

  1. Clean the Surface: Ensure the area to be painted is free from dirt, grease, wax, rust, and any other contaminants. A clean surface is crucial for adhesion.
  2. Masking: Carefully mask off any adjacent areas that should not be painted to prevent overspray.
  3. Priming: For best results and optimal adhesion, apply a minimum of two coats of Autotek Red Primer. Allow the primer to dry completely according to its instructions.

Application Instructions:

  1. Shake the Can: Shake the aerosol can vigorously for approximately 2 minutes before use.
  2. Spray Distance: Hold the can 15-25cm away from the surface.
  3. Coating Technique: Apply in several thin, even coats, rather than one thick coat. Allow 10-20 minutes drying time between each coat.
  4. Nozzle Care: After each application, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent blockages.
  5. Drying: The paint should be touch dry within 10-20 minutes. Allow a full 24 hours for the paint to cure completely.

Important Notes:

  • Environment: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Ideal application temperatures are between 15°C and 25°C.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with nearly all automotive paint finishes, including cellulose.

Care:

  • Once fully cured, the painted surface can be cared for using standard automotive cleaning products. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the newly painted area until fully hardened.
