FAQs

Is this paint compatible with other manufacturers?

This specific variant is matched to Vauxhall Titanium codes 97L/146. While it can be used on other surfaces, the colour match is specifically for these Vauxhall models.

Do I need a primer before using this paint?

Yes, for optimal adhesion and finish quality, especially on bare metal or plastic, applying a suitable primer first is highly recommended.

Can I use this on interior plastic trim?

Yes, it is compatible with plastics, but ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and primed to prevent the paint from peeling.

How long should I wait between coats?

Under normal conditions, wait 15 to 20 minutes between coats to allow the propellant to flash off.

Is this paint resistant to petrol spills?

While the paint is durable and UV-resistant, it is always recommended to finish with a high-quality clear coat if the area is exposed to fuel, such as around the fuel filler cap.

Troubleshooting

The spray nozzle is clogging during application

Remove the nozzle and soak it in paint thinner, or invert the can and spray briefly to clear the residual paint from the internal feed tube.

The paint finish appears dull or cloudy

This is often caused by applying the paint in high-humidity conditions; move to a drier environment and apply a clear lacquer coat once fully cured.

Paint is running or sagging on the surface

You have likely applied the paint too heavily. Sand down the affected area once dry and reapply using thinner, more controlled passes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly higher coverage density than standard market sprays
  • Excellent resistance to sunlight and environmental fading
  • Compatible with both acrylic and cellulosic existing finishes
  • Fast-drying formula minimizes the risk of drips and runs
  • Versatile application on diverse substrates beyond just metal

Cons

  • Small 150ml container may be insufficient for large-scale panel resprays
  • Requires careful preparation to ensure perfect color blending
  • Vulnerable to poor finish quality if applied in high humidity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free from oil, wax, or silicone contaminants. Use a degreasing agent to prep the area, then lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to promote adhesion.

  • Compatibility: This paint is compatible with existing OEM finishes and is safe for use on metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics. It is specifically formulated to work with acrylic and cellulosic base coats.
  • Care: Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. After painting, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle, preventing clogging. Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the chemical propellant.
