This paint is designed for Vauxhall models manufactured between 1990 and 2001 that originally featured the Star Silver paint color (Manufacturer Paint Code: 138, 88L, 88U).
The paint is touch dry within 10-20 minutes. Full curing takes approximately 24 hours.
Yes, the paint contains protective properties that allow it to be applied effectively to metal, glass fibre, and rigid plastic surfaces.
Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dirt, rust, and grease. Mask off the surrounding area and apply a minimum of two coats of primer for optimal adhesion and finish.
It is recommended to apply the paint in a temperature range between 15°C and 25°C.
While not strictly mandatory for all applications, using a primer like Autotek Grey Primer is highly recommended for optimum adhesion and the best possible finish.
After each use, turn the aerosol can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent blockages.
Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked by attempting to clear it by spraying upside down. If the issue persists, the can may be faulty.
Ensure you are spraying from the correct distance (15-25cm) and applying thin, even coats. Do not apply too heavily. Check ambient temperature is within the recommended range (15°C-25°C).
The surface may not have been adequately cleaned or prepared. Ensure the surface is free from contaminants and that a primer was used for optimal adhesion, especially on plastics.
Verify that you are using the correct paint code for your vehicle's year and model (Vauxhall Star Silver, codes: 138, 88L, 88U). Ensure the original paint has not faded significantly, which may affect the perceived match.
Always turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds after each use to clear the nozzle. If a blockage occurs, try soaking the nozzle in warm water and then clearing it with a fine pin.
Preparation is crucial for the best results.
