Setup, Compatibility & Care
**Preparation is key for optimal adhesion and finish. Ensure the target surface is clean, free from dirt, rust, wax, and oil. Mask off surrounding areas to prevent overspray. Applying a minimum of two coats of Autotek Grey Primer is recommended before using the Sparkling Graphite paint.
To apply, shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes. Hold the can 15-25cm away from the surface and apply in several thin coats, allowing 10-20 minute intervals between each application. After use, invert the can and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent blockages.
This paint is compatible with BMW 1 Series, 3 Series, M3 & X6 models from 2007 onwards, and generally with nearly all automotive paint finishes. It can be used on metal, glass fibre, and rigid plastic surfaces. For best results and safety, use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area when temperatures are between 15°C and 25°C.
