FAQs

How much area does one can cover?

The 150ml can offers coverage comparable to a 300ml can, depending on the application and number of coats.

Can I use this on plastic bumpers?

Yes, this spray paint is suitable for use on plastic bumpers. Make sure the surface is clean and properly prepared.

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

This paint provides a metallic finish, matching the Audi Quartz Grey color.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint is fast-drying, but drying times can vary depending on environmental conditions. Follow the recommended drying times on the can.

Is a clear coat necessary?

While not always necessary, applying a clear coat can enhance the gloss, durability, and UV protection of the finish. This is especially useful for exterior applications.

Where should I store the spray paint?

Store the spray paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

What is the shelf life of the spray paint?

The shelf life is typically several years if stored properly. Refer to the can for specific expiry information.

Troubleshooting

Paint is running or dripping.

Apply thinner coats and increase the distance from the surface. Ensure you're not applying too much paint at once.

Nozzle clogging.

Clean the nozzle after each use. Invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If the nozzle is still clogged, replace it with a new one.

Color mismatch.

Ensure you have the correct paint code (LY7L, G5). Apply a test coat in an inconspicuous area to check color accuracy.

Poor coverage.

Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly before use. Apply multiple thin coats, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
