Product Information

Full details

The CarPlan Trade Spray Paint in Gloss White is an ideal solution for automotive enthusiasts and professionals looking to touch up or refinish car components such as wheels, trims, and rigid plastic parts. Engineered with an advanced acrylic plus formula, this 500ml aerosol delivers a high-quality, professional 'spray gun' finish with the convenience of a handheld can. While it offers exceptional coverage and fast-drying properties, users must ensure the surface is properly prepped and primed to avoid adhesion issues common with high-gloss automotive paints.

FAQs

Can I use this on metal body panels?

Yes, it is designed for automotive refinishing, though it performs best when applied over a suitable primer.

Do I need a clear coat over this?

While the paint provides a glossy finish on its own, adding an automotive clear coat can enhance durability and UV protection.

How long should I wait between coats?

Due to the fast-drying formula, you can usually apply a second coat within 10-15 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature.

Is this paint heat-resistant?

It is designed for standard automotive surfaces; it is not intended for high-heat engine components or brake calipers.

How should I prep the surface?

Clean the surface, remove all loose rust or paint, sand with fine-grit paper, and degrease before applying.

Troubleshooting

Paint is running or sagging

You are holding the can too close or moving too slowly; keep the nozzle 20-30cm away and use quick, even sweeps.

Nozzle is clogged or sputtering

Remove the nozzle and soak it in a small amount of thinners or warm water; ensure the can is shaken sufficiently before the next use.

Paint finish looks orange-peeled

The ambient temperature may be too high or the paint is drying too fast; ensure you are applying in a controlled, shaded environment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-gloss finish rivals professional equipment
  • Adjustable nozzle allows for precise spray control
  • Quick-drying formula minimizes dust contamination risks
  • Excellent for restoring faded wheels and plastic trims
  • Large 500ml volume offers sufficient coverage for multiple parts

Cons

  • Requires careful surface preparation for best results
  • Gloss finish may highlight surface imperfections if not sanded smooth
  • Solvent-based aerosol requires adequate ventilation during application

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the can is at room temperature and shake vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the pigment is properly mixed. Always test the spray on a piece of scrap cardboard to adjust the nozzle pattern to your liking.

Compatibility note: While this product works well over existing cellulose finishes, you should always perform a patch test if you are unsure of the base layer composition. To prevent nozzle clogging, always turn the can upside down after use and spray for two seconds until clear gas escapes. Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the acrylic formula.
