FAQs
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is touch dry in 10-20 minutes and fully cures in 24 hours under ideal conditions (15°C-25°C).
Can I use this on flexible plastic parts?
This paint is formulated for rigid plastics. For flexible plastics, a specific flexible primer may be required first for optimal adhesion and durability.
What is the best way to prepare surfaces before painting?
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or rust. Lightly sanding the surface can improve adhesion.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, once fully cured, the paint provides a durable finish suitable for outdoor applications. However, application should be done in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
What does 'RAL Colour Match Precision' mean?
It means the paint color is formulated to precisely match the Ignition Red (RAL3020) standard, ensuring accuracy and consistency with other RAL-specified colors.
How many thin coats are recommended for best results?
While coverage is good, applying 2-3 thin coats with 10-20 minute intervals between each is generally recommended for a smooth, durable, and consistent finish.
Can I paint over existing paint?
Yes, it is compatible with most automotive and cellulose finishes. Ensure the existing paint is sound and clean. For best results, test on an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or splattering
Shake the can more thoroughly. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked by turning the can upside down and spraying for a few seconds. Check that the ambient temperature is within the recommended range (15°C-25°C).
Paint not adhering properly
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. Lightly abrading the surface can also improve adhesion for some materials.
Runs or drips appearing
Apply paint in thinner coats from the recommended distance. Avoid over-application in one go. If runs occur, allow to dry and gently sand back before re-applying thin coats.
Nozzle blockage after use
Always turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds after each use to clear the nozzle. If a blockage occurs, try soaking the nozzle in warm water or gently cleaning with a pin (ensure can is empty and safe before attempting).
