Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering
Shake the can thoroughly for at least 2 minutes. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked by spraying upside down for a few seconds after use. If the issue persists, the can may be faulty.
Paint not adhering to the surface
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and free from contaminants. Verify that Autotek Grey Primer was applied and allowed to dry according to instructions, as it is critical for adhesion.
Color mismatch
Confirm that the paint code used matches the vehicle's paint code (20R for Vauxhall Black Sapphire). Ensure the paint was shaken adequately and applied evenly. Note that variations in lighting and surface condition can affect perceived color.
Runs or drips in the paint finish
