FAQs

What is the expected coverage of one 400ml can?

One 400ml aerosol can covers a minimum of 2 square meters, depending on the surface and application thickness.

Do I need a primer before using this paint?

No, this formula is designed to adhere directly to UPVC and other compatible surfaces without the need for a separate primer.

How long does the finish last?

The paint comes with a 10-year guarantee against cracking, blistering, and color fade.

Can this paint be used on metal surfaces?

Yes, it is suitable for use on metal surfaces, provided they are properly prepared and cleaned.

Is the finish glossy or matte?

The paint provides a professional standard satin finish.

How should I clean the painted surfaces?

Once fully cured, the surfaces are washable. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I paint over existing paint on UPVC?

While it can adhere to some existing coatings, it is best to test on an inconspicuous area first. Thorough cleaning and light abrasion are essential for adhesion to any existing surface.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or sputtering

Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged; if it is, try cleaning it with a solvent as per manufacturer instructions or replace the can.

Paint not adhering or peeling

The surface was likely not cleaned or prepared properly. Ensure thorough degreasing and light abrasion before reapplication. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Runs or drips in the paint finish

Applied too thickly or from too close. Apply in thinner coats and maintain the recommended distance from the surface. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Poor coverage after multiple coats

Surface may be too porous or the paint is being applied too thinly. Ensure surface is properly prepared and apply slightly thicker, even coats, ensuring proper overlap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is Key:

  1. Clean the surface thoroughly with a plastic-friendly cleaner to remove all dirt, grease, and mildew. For best results, use a solvent-based cleaner.
  2. Lightly abrade the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 240 grit) to create a key for the paint to adhere to. Clean off any dust.
  3. Mask off any adjacent areas, glass, or hardware that you do not wish to paint using painter's tape and protective sheeting.

Application:

  1. Ensure the can is at room temperature (15-20°C).
  2. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use.
  3. Hold the can upright, about 25-30cm from the surface.
  4. Apply in thin, even coats, using a steady back-and-forth motion. Overlap each stroke slightly.
  5. Allow adequate drying time between coats (check can for specific recommendations, typically 10-15 minutes).
  6. Apply 2-3 coats for optimal coverage and durability.

Compatibility:

Suitable for uPVC windows, doors, conservatories, fascias, drainpipes, guttering, MDF, melamine, metal, and wood. Not recommended for flexible plastics or rubber.

Care:

Once fully cured, the surface is washable. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
