FAQs
How much area does one can cover?
Coverage depends on the number of coats and the application technique. A single 400ml can is usually sufficient for multiple applications on smaller areas.
Can this be used on plastic bumpers?
Yes, but for best results, use a plastic primer before applying the stone guard.
What is the best way to store the remaining paint?
Store the can in a cool, dry place. Ensure the nozzle is clean to prevent clogging.
How durable is the finish?
The finish is durable and designed to resist stone chips and abrasion, but the lifespan depends on environmental factors.
Can I apply this over existing paint?
Yes, but ensure the existing paint is sound and properly prepared (cleaned and lightly sanded).
What should I do if I get overspray?
Overspray can usually be removed with a suitable solvent before it dries. Once dry, it may need to be carefully removed by polishing.
