FAQs

What is the best way to prepare a surface before using this spray paint?

Thoroughly clean the surface to remove dirt, grease, and contaminants. Sand lightly if needed for adhesion, then wipe clean. Use a suitable primer for optimal results, especially on bare metal or plastic.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. It typically dries to the touch within minutes, but full curing takes longer. Allow at least 15-30 minutes between coats, depending on temperature and humidity.

Can I use this paint on plastic parts?

Yes, this paint is suitable for most automotive plastic parts, provided they are clean and a suitable plastic primer is used if necessary.

What is the heat resistance of this paint?

The paint has a heat resistance of up to 100°C.

How should I store the spray can?

Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition or heat. Ensure the nozzle is clear after use.

What is the shelf life of this product?

The product has a shelf life of 60 months (5 years) when stored correctly.

How many coats should I apply?

It is generally recommended to apply multiple thin coats for an even and durable finish, rather than one thick coat. Allow adequate drying time between each coat.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or splattering

Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly and frequently during use. Check for blockages in the nozzle and clean if necessary. Hold the can at a consistent distance (approx. 25-30 cm) and use smooth, sweeping motions.

Paint not adhering properly or peeling

Verify the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and dried before application. Ensure a suitable primer was used if required. Ambient temperature and humidity may also affect adhesion; avoid painting in damp or excessively cold conditions.

Runs or drips in the paint finish

Apply paint in thin, even coats. Avoid applying too much paint at once or holding the can too close to the surface. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Nozzle clogged after use

Turn the can upside down immediately after use and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If already clogged, try removing and cleaning the nozzle with a solvent like paint thinner or acetone, or replace the nozzle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, or rust. Lightly sand the surface if necessary and wipe clean. For best results, apply a primer suitable for automotive use. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use, and periodically during application. Test spray on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Compatibility: This paint is designed for a wide range of automotive surfaces, including metal, plastic, and primed surfaces. Ensure compatibility with any existing finishes by testing in an hidden area. Not intended for use on engine components operating above 100°C or on bare food contact surfaces.

Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. Clean up any spills immediately with a suitable solvent while the paint is still wet. Painted surfaces should be allowed to cure fully before exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals or heavy abrasion.
