FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is suitable for wood, metal, aluminium, stone, and various types of plastic. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially with plastics, as a primer might be necessary for optimal adhesion.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. Specific drying times can vary based on temperature, humidity, and application thickness. Refer to the instructions on the can for precise details.

How do I prepare the can for use?

Before use, shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes until you hear the mixing balls rattling. It is essential to remove the safety ring located at the base of the nozzle.

Can this paint be used outdoors?

Yes, the paint is resistant to weather influences, making it suitable for outdoor applications once fully cured.

How do I prevent nozzle clogging after use?

After each use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent paint from drying inside.

What is the volume of the can?

The can contains 400ml of paint.

Is this paint suitable for high-heat surfaces?

This product is a fast-drying acrylic lacquer and is not specifically designed for high-heat applications. For such uses, a specialized high-heat paint would be recommended.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or splattering

Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked. Try spraying from a slightly different distance. Clean the nozzle if necessary by spraying upside down briefly.

Paint not adhering properly

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and dried before application. Check if the correct primer was used for the surface type (especially plastics). Apply in thin coats rather than one heavy coat.

Can is not spraying

Verify that the safety ring has been removed. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Shake the can again thoroughly.

Metallic effect is inconsistent

Apply paint in consistent, even strokes with consistent can distance. Avoid over-spraying or under-spraying in any one area. Ensure even coats are applied.
