Product Information

Full details

Hycote Colour Spray Paint in Ford Venetian Red is designed for automotive enthusiasts and DIY restorers looking for a precise, factory-matched finish on body panels or trim components. By utilizing advanced compressed aerosol technology, it offers double the coverage of standard sprays, making it highly efficient for small to medium touch-ups; however, users should note that as an aerosol application, achieving a professional 'glass-like' finish requires careful surface preparation and controlled spraying technique.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for direct application on bare metal?

It is recommended to use an anti-corrosion primer before applying the paint to bare metal to prevent rusting and improve adhesion.

Can I use this on interior plastic parts?

Yes, it is compatible with plastics, but ensure the surface is properly cleaned and keyed before painting.

Does this product require a clear coat?

While the paint is durable on its own, applying a clear lacquer over the top will provide additional gloss and deeper protection.

How do I know if this is the right red for my Ford?

Check your vehicle's specific colour code (R/JM/1136) found on the manufacturer's data plate, typically located in the door jamb or engine bay.

How long should I wait between coats?

Due to the fast-drying formula, 10-15 minutes is usually sufficient, though this may vary based on ambient temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting

The spray nozzle is blocked or spitting paint.

Remove the nozzle and soak it in thinners or solvent, or invert the can and hold the spray button down until only propellant comes out.

Paint is running or sagging during application.

You are applying too much paint at once. Use lighter, thinner coats and allow for proper drying time between passes.

The colour does not match existing paint perfectly.

Ensure the surface underneath is neutral (use a grey or white primer) and that the existing paint is not oxidized or faded.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Twice the coverage of standard aerosol paints
  • Precise Ford factory colour match
  • Highly resistant to sunlight and fading
  • Versatile application across different material types

Cons

  • Small 150ml capacity may not be enough for full panels
  • Requires proper surface priming for best adhesion
  • Sensitive to application technique to avoid runs or drips

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal results, follow these preparation steps:

  1. Surface Prep: Thoroughly clean the surface to remove all grease, wax, and dust. Lightly sand the area to provide a mechanical bond for the paint.
  2. Priming: If applying to bare metal or plastic, use an appropriate primer to ensure the paint adheres correctly.
  3. Application: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes. Maintain a distance of 20-30cm from the surface and use smooth, sweeping motions.
  4. Compatibility: This paint is compatible with existing OEM, acrylic, and cellulosic finishes. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area if you are unsure of the base layer composition.
  5. Maintenance: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Invert the can and spray for two seconds after use to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging.
