Clean the damaged area thoroughly with a degreaser, ensuring it is completely dry. Remove any loose paint or rust. Lightly abrade the area with fine-grit sandpaper if necessary for better adhesion.
The paint is fast-drying. It typically dries to the touch within 15-30 minutes, but allow at least an hour before applying a second coat or protective lacquer, depending on environmental conditions.
Yes, this paint is suitable for use on plastics, metals, wood, and ceramics. Ensure the plastic surface is clean and free from contaminants.
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed, the paint typically has a shelf life of several years. However, performance may degrade over extended periods.
While this paint is designed to be compatible with OEM finishes, for best results and durability on bare metal or plastic, a primer may be beneficial. A clear lacquer can be applied after the colour coat has dried to provide extra protection and gloss.
Apply thin, even coats. Usually, two or three thin coats are sufficient to achieve good coverage and opacity. Allow adequate drying time between each coat.
This paint is ideal for minor scratches and stone chips. For very deep scratches that go down to the metal, using a primer first is recommended. Multiple thin coats will be needed to build up the colour.
Ensure the ball bearings inside the can are free and the can was shaken thoroughly. If the nozzle is blocked, remove it and soak in solvent, then dry and reattach.
The surface may not have been adequately cleaned or prepared. Remove the paint, clean the surface thoroughly, and reapply, ensuring proper drying between coats if necessary.
Confirm the correct product code for your vehicle manufacturer and model. Allow the paint to dry completely, as the final colour may differ slightly when wet. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Allow each coat to flash off before applying the next. Use a lighter touch with the brush.
Setup: Before application, ensure the surface area is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, and rust. Lightly abrade the area if necessary for better adhesion. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the pigment is thoroughly mixed. Test the colour on an inconspicuous area first to confirm the match.
Compatibility: This paint is compatible with OEM finishes, suitable for both acrylic and cellulosic paint types. It can be applied to metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics. Ensure the base layer is sound and appropriate for touch-up work.
Care: Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. After use, clean the brush immediately with a suitable solvent to prevent the paint from drying in the bristles. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.
