Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is key for optimal results.
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the area to be painted is free from dirt, rust, grease, oil, and wax.
- Masking: Protect surrounding areas from overspray using masking tape and paper.
- Priming: For best adhesion and finish, apply a minimum of two coats of Autotek Grey Primer before the top coat.
Application:
- Shake Well: Agitate the aerosol can vigorously for approximately two minutes before use.
- Spray Distance: Hold the can 15-25cm away from the surface.
- Coating: Apply in several thin coats, allowing 10-20 minutes drying time between each coat. This builds durability and color depth.
- Nozzle Care: After each use, turn the aerosol can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent blockages.
- Curing: Allow the paint to fully cure for approximately 24 hours.
Environment: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Optimal application temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
Compatibility: Suitable for metal, glass fibre, rigid plastic, and compatible with most automotive paint finishes, including cellulose.
