FAQs
What surfaces can I use this green spray paint on?
This paint is suitable for primed metal, plastic, and ceramic surfaces, as well as acrylic and cellulose paint finishes.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
The paint is engineered for super-fast drying, but specific drying times can vary depending on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. It's best to allow ample time for full curing.
How should I prepare the surface before painting?
The surface should be clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease, oil, and rust. Applying a suitable primer is highly recommended for optimal adhesion and durability.
How do I achieve the best finish?
Shake the can well, apply in thin, even coats from a consistent distance (15-25 cm), and allow sufficient drying time between coats. Using Hycote primer and lacquers can further enhance the professional finish.
What does 'double the coverage' mean?
It means the can is formulated to cover approximately twice the area compared to a standard spray paint can of similar volume, due to its efficient propellant and paint mix.
Can I use this on different shades of green?
This paint is matched to specific original vehicle manufacturer paint specifications. For a consistent finish, it's best used for touch-ups or projects where that exact shade of green is required.
What should I do after using the spray can?
After you're finished painting, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. This prevents the paint from drying and blocking the mechanism for future use.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or splattering
Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked. Hold the can at a consistent distance (approx. 15-25 cm) from the surface and use smooth, even strokes.
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Apply a suitable primer before using the spray paint. Avoid painting in excessively humid or cold conditions.
Nozzle clogged after use
Turn the can upside down immediately after painting and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If still clogged, try removing the nozzle and soaking it in a suitable solvent (e.g., cellulose thinners) and then cleaning with a fine pin.
Coverage is less than expected
Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Ensure the can is shaken adequately and held at the recommended distance. The 'double coverage' refers to efficient use, not necessarily depth in a single pass.
Pros and Cons

- Offers significantly higher coverage per can, making it economical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from rust, grease, and dirt. For best results, apply to a primed surface. Use in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition.
Compatibility: This paint is suitable for acrylic and cellulose finishes and adheres well to most primed metal, plastic, and ceramic surfaces. Always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place. After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent blockages.
