FAQs
How do I achieve the 'double coverage' promised?
The 'double coverage' is achieved through a higher concentration of paint solids within the aerosol. To maximize this, apply thin, even coats and ensure the can is adequately shaken. Avoid applying excessively thick coats, which can lead to runs and waste paint.
Can this paint be used on car interior plastics?
Yes, this paint is suitable for plastics. However, ensure the plastic is clean and free from silicone or release agents. For best adhesion on interior plastics, a specific plastic primer is recommended before applying the colour coat.
What is the best way to prepare the surface before painting?
The surface must be clean, dry, and degreased. Remove any loose paint, rust, or contaminants. Lightly abrade or sand glossy surfaces to create a key for the paint to adhere to. If painting bare metal, a primer is essential.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Hycote Double Acrylic paints are fast drying. Touch dry times are typically within 10-15 minutes, with recoating possible after 30-60 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity. Full hardness develops over a longer period.
Do I need a clear coat over this paint?
While the paint itself is tough and durable, applying a clear coat (like Hycote's own acrylic or lacquer products) will enhance protection, gloss, and longevity, especially on automotive applications exposed to harsh conditions.
Can I use this paint on wood or ceramics?
Yes, the product description states compatibility with wood and ceramics. Ensure these surfaces are clean, dry, and properly prepared (e.g., sanded wood, primed ceramics if necessary) for optimal adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering
Ensure the nozzle is not blocked. Turn the can upside down and spray to clear. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before and during use. Keep the can moving while spraying.
Paint not adhering well or peeling
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Lightly sand glossy surfaces. A primer may be necessary for certain materials like bare metal or some plastics.
Runs or drips in the paint finish
The paint is likely being applied too thickly or from too close a distance. Apply in multiple thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between each. Maintain a consistent spray distance of approximately 25-30cm.
Colour does not match existing paint
While colour matched to OEM codes, variations can occur due to age, fading, or previous repairs. Always test spray on an inconspicuous area first. For critical colour matches, consider professional advice or larger paint quantities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and dust. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For optimal results, apply a suitable primer if painting over bare metal, plastic, or previously incompatible finishes. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use, and periodically during application.
Compatibility: This paint is compatible with OEM finishes and suitable for use on acrylic and cellulosic base coats. It can be applied directly to metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially when applying over existing paintwork.
Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent blockages. Clean up any spills or overspray immediately with a suitable solvent.
