Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or splattering

Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly for at least 2 minutes. Try spraying from the recommended distance (15-25cm). If the nozzle is clogged, clear it by turning the can upside down and spraying briefly. Clean the nozzle with a solvent if necessary.

Paint is not adhering well or peeling

The surface may not have been properly cleaned or prepared. Ensure the surface is free from grease, wax, and rust. Re-clean and ensure primer was applied and fully dried before topcoat application.

Color does not match exactly

Verify that you are using the correct paint code (GQM for Vauxhall Boracay Blue). Ensure the original paint is not significantly faded. Apply multiple thin coats as per instructions, as opacity can affect color perception.

Slow drying time

Check the ambient temperature; it should be between 15°C-25°C. Ensure good ventilation. If temperatures are too low or humidity is high, drying will be slower.

Runs or drips in the paint finish

The paint was likely applied too thickly or from too close a distance. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between them. Sand down the run and reapply thinly.
