Product Information
Full details
The Novol Spectral UNDER 395 is designed for professional automotive painters and DIY metal restoration enthusiasts looking to provide a durable, rust-resistant foundation for their paint projects. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-grade anti-corrosive properties with a smooth, professional-grade finish that promotes optimal topcoat adhesion on bare metal; however, users should note that as an epoxy-based product, it requires careful preparation and adequate ventilation during the application process.

FAQs
Does this primer require a clear coat over it?
No, this is a base primer. It should be covered with a suitable topcoat or paint system for UV protection and final aesthetics.
Can I apply this over existing paint?
This product is specifically formulated for bare metal. While it may stick to sanded paint, it performs best when applied directly to properly prepared bare substrate.
How many coats should I apply?
Typically, two light-to-medium coats are sufficient for complete coverage and anti-corrosive protection.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times vary based on temperature and humidity, but it is generally touch-dry within 20-30 minutes and ready for overcoating after a few hours.
Is this safe to use indoors?
You should only use this product in a well-ventilated area or a spray booth, as the fumes are harmful if inhaled.
Troubleshooting
Nozzle clogging during application
Invert the canister and spray for 3-5 seconds until only propellant comes out, then wipe the nozzle with a solvent.
Primer peeling shortly after application
Ensure the surface was completely cleaned of all grease, silicone, and loose rust before applying the primer.
Surface is rough or textured
You may be holding the can too far from the surface, causing the droplets to partially dry before hitting the metal. Move closer and use consistent strokes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure the work area is well-ventilated and free of airborne dust. First, abrade the metal surface with appropriate grit sandpaper and clean thoroughly with a degreaser to remove all oils and contaminants. Shake the 500ml aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes before spraying. Keep the canister roughly 20-30cm from the surface during application. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To ensure longevity, invert the can and spray for a few seconds after each use to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging.
