Product Information
Full details
The Autotek Vauxhall Metro Blue Aerosol Spray Paint is designed for automotive enthusiasts and DIY car owners looking to perform precise paint touch-ups on their Vauxhall vehicles. Featuring a high-quality acrylic-based formula matched to manufacturer code 168, it provides a professional-grade finish on metal, glass fibre, and rigid plastic. While it offers excellent durability and fast-drying capabilities, users must ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and primed beforehand to achieve the best adhesion and color accuracy.

FAQs
Which Vauxhall models is this paint compatible with?
It is designed for models including Agila, Astra, Combo, Corsa, Insignia, Meriva, Signum, Zafira, Tigra, and Vectra from the 2005-2012 period.
Do I need to use a primer?
Yes, for optimum adhesion and to ensure the color matches correctly, a grey primer is highly recommended.
How long until I can drive the car after painting?
While the paint is touch dry in 10-20 minutes, you should wait 24 hours for it to fully cure before exposing it to harsh driving conditions.
Can I use this on flexible plastic bumpers?
This product is formulated for rigid plastics and metal; it may not be suitable for highly flexible plastic bumpers without a flexible primer.
How do I ensure the best finish?
Apply thin, even coats, ensure the surface is clean and prepped, and work in a well-ventilated, dust-free environment.
Troubleshooting
The spray nozzle is clogging or sputtering
Clear the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying for a few seconds until clear, or replace the nozzle.
The paint appears to be peeling or bubbling
This often indicates poor surface preparation. Sand the area back, clean thoroughly, and ensure all rust and oils are removed before reapplying.
The color does not match the rest of the car
Ensure you are using the correct paint code 168 and that you have applied a grey primer underneath to provide a neutral base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, begin by thoroughly cleaning the repair area to remove all wax, oil, and road grime. If rust is present, sand the area down to the bare metal before applying a grey primer; this is critical for proper adhesion and color depth. Shake the canister vigorously for at least two minutes before spraying. Hold the nozzle approximately 20-25cm from the surface and use sweeping, overlapping motions. After application, allow the paint 10-20 minutes to become touch dry, but wait the full 24 hours for the acrylic to reach its complete, hardened state. Store the aerosol in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the propellant and paint pigments.
