What should I do after spraying to maintain the nozzle?

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.
