Troubleshooting
Paint nozzle is blocked
Turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle. If blockage persists, try gently cleaning the nozzle with a solvent (ensure compatibility) or replace the nozzle if possible.
Uneven spray or splattering
Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly before and during use. Maintain a consistent spraying distance of 15-25cm. Apply thin, even coats rather than heavy ones.
Paint not adhering well
Verify the surface was properly cleaned and prepared (free from grease, dirt, rust). Ensure a primer was applied and allowed to dry. Check that the application temperature is within the recommended range (15°C-25°C).
Poor colour match
Confirm you are using the correct paint code (2761) for your Ford model and year. Note that variations can occur due to age, fading of the original paint, and lighting conditions. Ensure proper application technique for an even finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is crucial for the best results.
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the area to be painted is completely free from dirt, rust, wax, oil, and any other contaminants.

Application Steps:
- Shake Well: Shake the aerosol can vigorously for approximately 2 minutes before use.
