FAQs

What is the main advantage of 'Double Acrylic' paint?

The 'Double Acrylic' technology means the can contains more paint relative to propellant, offering double the coverage of standard spray paints.

Can this paint be used on plastic parts?

Yes, it can be used on plastics, but for best adhesion and results, it is recommended to use a dedicated plastic primer first.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying, allowing for recoating typically within a few minutes, although full hardness may take longer.

What is the manufacturer paint code for this Nimbus Grey?

The manufacturer paint code for this Ford Nimbus Grey is 7/1801C.

Can I use this over existing paint?

Yes, it is compatible with OEM finishes and can be applied over existing acrylic and cellulosic finishes, provided they are in good condition and properly prepared.

How should I clean the nozzle if it gets blocked?

After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If the nozzle is completely blocked, it may need to be removed and cleaned with a solvent or replaced.

Is this paint resistant to fading?

Yes, the paint offers excellent resistance to sunlight and fading.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or splattering

Ensure the can is held at the correct distance (approx. 15-20cm) and shake the can frequently during use. Check for blockages in the nozzle; if so, remove and clean according to manufacturer instructions or replace the nozzle.

Paint not adhering to the surface

The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Consider using a primer, especially on plastics or bare metal.

Runs or drips in the paint finish

Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Ensure the can is not held too close to the surface. If drips occur, allow to dry fully and then lightly sand back before re-coating.

Can will not spray

Check that the nozzle is not blocked. If recently used, try clearing the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds. Ensure the can is adequately shaken.
