FAQs

How many coats should I apply?

Typically, 2-3 thin, even coats are recommended for best results. Always refer to the specific instructions on the product can for detailed guidance.

What is the drying time?

Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity. Generally, the paint is touch-dry within 15-20 minutes, but a full cure can take up to 24-48 hours. Allow adequate time before driving.

Can I use this on steel wheels?

This product is specifically formulated for alloy wheels. While it might adhere to steel wheels, results and durability may vary. For steel wheels, a different type of primer and paint may be more suitable.

What is the container volume?

The container volume for this product is 400ml.

How long will the finish last?

When applied correctly to a properly prepared surface, the finish is designed to be long-lasting and resistant to road elements, cracking, and flaking.

Can I paint over existing paint?

Yes, if the existing paint is in good condition and properly cleaned and lightly abraded. If the existing paint is peeling or damaged, it must be removed.

What colours are available?

A range of high-tech, modern colours are available to suit various vehicle styles.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or sputtering

Ensure the nozzle is clear. Shake the can vigorously for an extended period. If the problem persists, the can may be faulty.

Paint is not adhering well or peeling

Surface preparation was likely insufficient. Ensure wheels were thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and possibly lightly abraded before application. Ensure correct application temperature was maintained.

Runs or drips in the paint finish

Applied coats too thickly or sprayed too close to the surface. Apply subsequent coats more thinly and from the recommended distance. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Poor resistance to contaminants after drying

The paint may not have been allowed to cure fully. Allow the paint to cure for the recommended time (check product instructions) before exposing it to harsh conditions or cleaning chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is key for optimal results.

  1. Clean: Thoroughly clean the alloy wheels to remove all dirt, grease, and brake dust. Use a dedicated wheel cleaner and ensure the wheels are completely dry.
  2. Sand (if necessary): For best adhesion, lightly sand any rough areas or previously painted surfaces. Wipe away dust with a tack cloth.
  3. Masking: Protect surrounding areas like tires, brake calipers, and bodywork using masking tape and paper.
  4. Application: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes. Apply in thin, even coats from approximately 25-30 cm away, using the dual spray nozzle for consistent coverage. Allow adequate drying time between coats as recommended on the product packaging.

Compatibility:

This product is specifically formulated for use on clean, bare, or previously painted alloy wheels. It is not intended for use on plastic, rubber, or other metal surfaces.

Care:

Once fully cured, wheels painted with E-Tech Engineering Pro Alloy Wheel Paint can be cleaned using standard automotive wheel cleaners and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive brushes or harsh chemicals that could damage the coating.
