Hycote Double Acrylic Paint in Rover Gunmetal is designed for automotive enthusiasts and DIYers seeking a professional-grade, color-matched finish for vehicle repairs or restoration projects. Its primary benefit is a highly concentrated formula that provides double the coverage of standard aerosols, though users must be diligent with surface preparation to ensure the paint adheres correctly to non-metal substrates.

While the paint is durable on its own, applying a compatible Hycote clear coat can provide additional gloss and protection against environmental contaminants.
Yes, it is compatible with plastics, but ensure the plastic is thoroughly cleaned and primed for the best finish.
Allow the paint to cure for at least 24 to 48 hours in a dry, temperate environment before attempting any polishing or waxing.
This is a standard automotive acrylic paint and is not designed for high-temperature areas like engine blocks or exhaust manifolds.
For optimal flow and drying, use the product in a well-ventilated area between 15°C and 25°C.
The application distance is too close or coats are too heavy; sand back the affected area once dry and reapply using thinner, lighter passes.
Ensure the surface is properly primed with a neutral base and check the vehicle's original color code; aged or sun-faded factory paint may appear different than new touch-up paint.
Always clear the nozzle by spraying upside down for a few seconds after finishing your project to prevent paint buildup in the valve.
Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or rust. Sand the surface lightly with fine-grit sandpaper to improve mechanical adhesion. For plastics, consider using a plastic primer before applying the paint. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes before use to ensure the metallic particles are evenly distributed. During application, keep the nozzle 20-30cm from the surface, moving in steady, overlapping strokes. To care for the nozzle, invert the can after use and spray for two seconds to clear the valve of residual paint.
