FAQs
Can I use this on plastic furniture?
Yes, but you should use a dedicated plastic primer first to ensure the best possible adhesion.
Is this paint suitable for high-heat surfaces?
No, this is a standard gloss enamel and is not formulated to withstand high temperatures like those found on engine parts or stoves.
How long should I wait between coats?
While it is fast-drying, wait at least 15-30 minutes between coats to allow the solvents to escape and prevent trapping moisture.
Can I use this on surfaces that come into contact with food?
No, this product is intended for decorative and renovation purposes and is not food-safe.
Do I need to sand the surface before painting?
Yes, lightly sanding glossy or very smooth surfaces will improve the mechanical grip of the paint.
Troubleshooting
The nozzle is clogged and paint is not spraying.
Remove the nozzle and soak it in a small amount of mineral spirits or paint thinner, then clear the opening with a fine wire.
The finish looks uneven or 'orange-peeled'.
This is often caused by spraying too close to the surface or in conditions that are too hot. Increase your distance and work in a cooler environment.
Paint is running or sagging.
You are applying too much paint in a single coat. Apply thinner, multiple coats rather than one heavy layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Prep: Remove all dust, rust, and grease using a degreaser or mild soap and water. Ensure the item is completely dry before painting.
