Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or sputtering

Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly for at least 2 minutes. If blockage persists, try spraying upside down for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. Warm the can slightly in warm water if it's too cold.

Paint is not adhering well or looks dull

The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from contaminants like wax or oil. Consider applying an appropriate primer before respraying.

Runs or drips in the paint finish

This usually occurs from applying the paint too thickly or from too close a distance. Apply in multiple thin coats and maintain the recommended spray distance (15-25cm).

Color does not match exactly

Verify the original paint code of the vehicle (A90, WA90 for Sophisto Grey). Ensure the surface was not previously repainted with a non-standard color. Fading on older paint can also cause slight variations.
