Can I use this paint on plastic parts?

Is this paint suitable for use over existing paintwork?

What is the best way to prepare the surface before painting?

Can I use this spray paint in cold weather?

It is recommended to use the paint in temperatures between 15°C and 25°C for best results. Avoid application in cold conditions.

How do I prevent the nozzle from clogging?

After each use, turn the aerosol can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear any residual paint from the nozzle.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or sputtering

Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked by turning the can upside down and spraying briefly. Check that the can is at room temperature (15°C-25°C).

Paint not adhering properly or peeling

The surface may not have been properly cleaned or prepared. Ensure all dirt, grease, and old wax have been removed. Consider applying a primer for better adhesion.

Poor color match

Verify the paint code for your vehicle and ensure it matches the specified Ford codes (S, S3, N, 2455WC). Allow the paint to fully cure, as color can sometimes change slightly as it dries.

Runs or drips in the paint finish

The paint was likely applied too thickly or from too close a distance. Apply in multiple thin coats, allowing adequate drying time between applications, and maintain the recommended spray distance (15-25 cm).
