FAQs

What Skoda models is this paint compatible with?

This paint is an exact match for Skoda Race Blue (LF5W, F5W, 9463) and is compatible with various Skoda models manufactured between 2005 and 2018.

Can I use this paint on surfaces other than metal?

Yes, the paint contains protective properties that ensure optimum quality and longevity when applied to metal, glass fibre, or rigid plastic surfaces.

How many coats should I apply?

It is recommended to build up the coverage with several thin coats, allowing 10-20 minute intervals between each coat for best results and a smooth finish.

What is the best temperature for application?

For optimal adhesion and finish, apply the paint in well-ventilated conditions at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C.

How long does the paint take to fully cure?

The paint should be touch dry in 10-20 minutes, but it needs to be left to fully cure for 24 hours.

Can this be used over existing paint?

Yes, it is compatible with nearly all automotive paint finishes, including cellulose. Ensure the existing paint is clean and in good condition.

What should I do after spraying to maintain the nozzle?

After each use, turn the aerosol can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear any paint from the nozzle and prevent it from becoming blocked.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or sputtering

Shake the can more thoroughly. Ensure the nozzle is clear by spraying upside down for a few seconds after use. If blockage persists, try cleaning the nozzle with a solvent or replace the can.

Poor adhesion or paint flaking

The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure the area was clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Re-prime the surface if necessary before reapplication.

Colour match appears off

Ensure you are using the correct paint code for your vehicle (LF5W, F5W, 9463 for Skoda Race Blue). Allow the paint to fully cure for 24 hours, as the final colour can change slightly as it dries and settles.

Runs or drips in the paint finish

The paint was likely applied too thickly or from too close a distance. Apply in multiple thin coats and maintain the recommended spraying distance. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Paint not drying correctly

Check the ambient temperature; it should be between 15°C-25°C. Avoid applying in humid conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

Application:

  1. Shake the aerosol can vigorously for approximately 2 minutes before use.
  2. Hold the can 15-25cm away from the surface.
  3. Apply paint in several thin, even coats, allowing 10-20 minutes of drying time between each layer.
  4. After each application, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent blockages.
  5. The paint should be touch-dry within 10-20 minutes.
  6. Allow the paint to fully cure for 24 hours.

Environment:

  • Use only outdoors or in a very well-ventilated area.
  • Ensure the ambient temperature is between 15°C and 25°C for best results.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most automotive paint finishes, including cellulose.
