Product Information

Full details

This PlastiKote Fast Dry Enamel Paint in Night Blue is ideal for model users, hobbyists, and craft projects requiring a small volume of high-quality, quick-drying paint. Its primary benefit is the fast drying time and long-lasting, non-fading finish. A caveat to consider is its small 59ml bottle size, making it best suited for detailed work rather than large-scale applications. Key features include its enamel formulation, suitability for multiple surfaces, and a convenient bottle size.

FAQs

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is touch dry in approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the coat and environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.

What surfaces can I paint with this enamel?

This paint is suitable for cardboard, ceramic, glass, metal, paper, plastic, wicker, and wood.

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

While the paint is long-lasting and non-fading, it is primarily designed for hobby and craft projects. For extensive outdoor applications subject to harsh weather, a paint specifically formulated for outdoor durability might be more appropriate.

How should I clean my brushes after using this paint?

Brushes and tools should be cleaned immediately after use with a suitable enamel thinner or solvent.

What is the volume of the bottle?

Each bottle contains 59ml of paint.

Can I use this paint on a plastic model kit?

Yes, this paint is suitable for application on plastic, making it ideal for model kits and other plastic hobby items.

Does this paint require a primer?

For porous surfaces, a primer is not always necessary, but for non-porous surfaces like glass or certain plastics, a primer can significantly improve adhesion and the longevity of the finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not drying

Ensure thin coats were applied. Thick coats take longer. Verify ambient temperature and humidity are within optimal ranges for drying. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free of contaminants.

Paint is streaky or uneven

Shake the can more vigorously before and during use. Apply paint in thin, consistent strokes. Consider using a primer if painting over a difficult surface. Ensure adequate paint is on the brush.

Lid is stuck

Gently warm the rim of the lid with a hairdryer on a low setting. Do not use excessive force. If paint has dried around the rim, carefully try to scrape it away.

Paint is too thick in the bottle

Ensure the paint has been shaken thoroughly. If still too thick, a small amount of appropriate enamel thinner may be added cautiously, but this can affect drying time and finish.

  • Consistent colour quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and rust. For non-porous surfaces like glass or certain plastics, a primer may enhance adhesion. Shake the can well before use for at least one minute to ensure thorough mixing of the paint.

Application: Apply thin, even coats. Over-application can lead to runs and drips, and may increase drying time. Allow adequate drying time between coats as recommended.

Compatibility: This enamel paint is suitable for application on cardboard, ceramic, glass, metal, paper, plastic, wicker, and wood. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on plastics, to ensure compatibility and prevent damage.

Care: Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after use to prevent the paint from drying out. Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with a suitable solvent or enamel thinner.
