FAQs

Can I use this on metal surfaces?

This paint is designed for plastics. It should only be used on metal if an anti-corrosion primer is applied as a base layer first.

Do I need a primer for plastics?

While the paint has high adhesion properties, abrading the surface with fine-grit paper is essential for optimal results.

How long does it take to dry?

The formula is fast-drying, but full curing can take up to 24 hours depending on ambient temperature and humidity.

Is this paint suitable for car interiors?

Yes, it is excellent for dashboards and interior trim, provided the surface is cleaned of any silicone-based dashboard cleaners.

How do I ensure the best finish?

Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat, and ensure you are working in a dust-free environment.

Troubleshooting

Paint is bubbling or peeling shortly after application

The surface was likely not cleaned or degreased properly. Strip the paint, degrease again, and ensure the surface is completely dry before repainting.

Finish looks uneven or has streaks

Hold the spray can at a consistent distance (approx 20-30cm) and use smooth, sweeping motions. Avoid stopping in the middle of a pass.

Clogged nozzle during use

Remove the nozzle and soak it in a solvent or simply replace it with a spare. Invert the can and spray for a few seconds to prevent future clogs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adhesion to difficult plastic surfaces
  • Provides a clean, uniform black matte finish
  • Quick-drying formula speeds up the painting process
  • Suitable for both professional workshops and home DIY use
  • Highly durable for exterior vehicle components

Cons

  • Requires meticulous surface preparation
  • Not suitable for direct application to bare steel without a primer
  • Requires a well-ventilated area for application
  • Surface must be abraded for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure compatibility, verify that the substrate is made of PP or ABS plastic. If working near metal components, you must mask them off and use an anti-corrosion primer on any bare steel before applying this paint. Always store the canister in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Before the first spray, shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the pigment and binders are thoroughly mixed. If the nozzle becomes clogged, invert the can and spray briefly to clear the residual paint from the valve.
