FAQs

Can I use this on plastic bumpers?

Yes, this paint is specifically formulated to be compatible with metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics.

Does this require a clear coat?

While the paint is hard-wearing, applying a light clear coat over the touch-up can provide additional gloss and protection against the elements.

How long should I wait between coats?

Due to its fast-drying nature, wait approximately 15-30 minutes between coats, depending on the ambient temperature.

Is this suitable for deep gouges?

This product is best for stone chips and light surface scratches. Deep gouges reaching the metal may require primer or filler first.

Where can I find my paint code?

Audi paint codes are typically found on the vehicle identification sticker, often located in the spare wheel well or in the service manual.

How long will the paint last once opened?

If the cap is tightened securely and the bottle is stored in a cool, dry place, the paint can remain usable for many months.

Troubleshooting

The paint appears to be too thick in the bottle.

Shake the bottle vigorously for at least two minutes to redistribute the pigments and binders.

The repair looks uneven or 'gloopy'.

Apply thinner layers and allow for drying time between coats; use a toothpick for more precise application if the brush is too large for the damage.

The paint is not matching the surrounding area.

Verify the vehicle colour code matches the specific Dakota Grey variant and ensure the surrounding paint has been cleaned of oxidation or wax.

  • Excellent resistance to sunlight and long-term fading
  • Highly compatible with common automotive surface materials
  • Quick-drying properties for immediate results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using, ensure the vehicle surface is completely dry and free from wax, grease, or loose debris. For deep scratches, consider using a fine-grit abrasive or primer if the metal is exposed. The paint is compatible with both acrylic and cellulosic finishes. After use, ensure the cap is tightened securely to prevent the solvent from evaporating, which can cause the paint to thicken. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the pigment and the shelf life of the product.
