Product Information
Full details
This Hycote Double Acrylic Spray Paint Kit is designed for automotive enthusiasts and DIYers looking to achieve a professional silver finish on their vehicles. Its key benefit is the matched color for specific manufacturers and models, offering excellent coverage and durability with compressed aerosol technology. A potential caveat is the 150ml can size, which, despite its concentrated formula, may require multiple cans for larger projects.

FAQs
What is the coverage of a 150ml can?
A 150ml can of Hycote Double Acrylic concentrated paint offers the same coverage as a conventional 300ml aerosol can due to its compressed aerosol technology.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is fast drying. Specific drying times can vary depending on temperature, humidity, and film thickness, but it is designed for minimal downtime between coats.
Can I use this paint on plastics?
While designed for automotive applications, compatibility with plastics should be tested on a small, inconspicuous area first. Surface preparation and appropriate priming are crucial for adhesion on different substrates.
What is the purpose of the grey primer and clear lacquer included in the kit?
The grey primer provides an ideal base for the silver paint, enhancing adhesion and coverage. The clear lacquer protects the paint finish, adds gloss, and provides resistance to UV damage and fading.
How should I clean the spray nozzle after use?
After you have finished painting, turn the can upside down and press the nozzle for a few seconds until only clear propellant emerges. This clears the nozzle and prevents it from becoming blocked for future use.
Is this paint suitable for high-temperature areas?
This is a double acrylic paint. For high-temperature applications, Hycote offers a specific range of high-temperature paints. This kit is best suited for general automotive finishes and parts not exposed to extreme heat.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or splattering
Shake the can more vigorously for at least two minutes. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Try cleaning the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying briefly. Test spray on a discard surface.
Paint runs or drips
Apply thinner coats from a slightly greater distance. Ensure the surface is level during application and drying. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and primed before application. The surface may not have been fully dry or compatible primer was not used. Re-prepare the surface and reapply.
Color does not match
Verify the correct product code and vehicle manufacturer/model details. Allow paint to fully cure, as colors can sometimes change slightly as they dry. Ensure sufficient coats were applied for full opacity.
