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.
Yes, it is suitable for plastics, but it is always recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and adhesion.
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.
Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Allow each coat to become touch-dry before applying the next. Ensure consistent brush strokes.
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.
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.
Yes, this paint is suitable for older, cellulose finishes as well as modern acrylic finishes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
