FAQs
Does this paint require a clear coat?
While it provides a durable finish, applying a clear coat can offer extra protection and depth, depending on your specific automotive finish requirements.
What is the drying time?
You should allow 10-20 minutes between coats and a full 24 hours for the paint to completely cure.
Can I use this on plastic bumpers?
Yes, provided the bumper is made of rigid plastic and has been properly cleaned and primed.
What should I do if the colour doesn't match perfectly?
Colour matching can be affected by the age of the original paint on your car due to UV exposure. A professional polish of the surrounding area may help blend the new paint.
Is this paint safe to use indoors?
No, you must always use this product in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes.
Troubleshooting
Paint runs or sags during application
You are likely holding the can too close or applying too much paint at once. Keep the can 20-30cm away and use lighter passes.
Rough or grainy finish
This is often caused by applying paint in temperatures outside the 15-25°C range or from too much distance. Sand lightly once dry and reapply in better conditions.
Nozzle clogging
Invert the can and spray until clear, or remove the nozzle and soak it in paint thinner or lacquer thinner to clear dried paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the pigment is thoroughly mixed. Ensure the spray nozzle is clear of obstructions; if the spray pattern becomes uneven, rotate or replace the nozzle. Compatibility is confirmed for metal, glass fibre, and rigid plastic; test on an inconspicuous area first if you are unsure of your substrate's composition. Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always clear the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds after each session to prevent clogging.
