FAQs

How do I prepare the surface before applying the paint?

Clean the area thoroughly with a degreaser, ensure it is completely dry, and lightly sand any rough edges around the damage. If painting bare metal, a primer is recommended.

Can this paint be used on different types of plastic?

Yes, it is suitable for plastics, but it is always recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and adhesion.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying, but recoating times and full curing will depend on temperature, humidity, and the thickness of the application. Allow at least 30 minutes between thin coats.

What is the best way to achieve a smooth finish?

Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Allow each coat to become touch-dry before applying the next. Ensure consistent brush strokes.

Will this paint protect against rust?

While the paint itself is hard-wearing, for optimal rust protection on bare metal, it is crucial to use a compatible primer before applying the colour coat.

How should I store the touch-up paint?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent the paint from drying out.

Can I use this paint on older cars with cellulose paint?

Yes, this paint is suitable for older, cellulose finishes as well as modern acrylic finishes.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or gloopy.

Ensure the paint is shaken thoroughly for the recommended time. If it remains thick, a small amount of appropriate thinners compatible with automotive acrylic paints may be added very sparingly, but test first.

Poor adhesion or peeling.

The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Consider using a primer suitable for the surface material.

Colour doesn't match perfectly.

Vehicle paint colours can vary due to age and environmental factors. Ensure the correct product code is used. Multiple thin coats can sometimes help blend the colour better than one thick coat.

Brush marks are visible.

Apply in very thin coats, allowing each to flash off slightly before the next. Use light, even strokes. Some minor marks may be inherent due to the brush applicator; try to keep strokes consistent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the area to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and rust. Lightly sand any rough edges around the scratch or chip. For best adhesion, apply a compatible primer if necessary, especially on bare metal.

Application: Shake the pot well for at least two minutes before use. Apply thin, even coats using the built-in brush. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying subsequent coats. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or in damp conditions.

Compatibility: This paint is compatible with OEM finishes, acrylic, and cellulosic paint types. It can be used on metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics. For plastics, always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after use to prevent the paint from drying out. Clean the brush immediately after use with a suitable solvent (e.g., cellulose thinners) if required.
