Product Information
Full details
This guide is for car enthusiasts and DIYers looking for a precise colour match for SEAT vehicles, specifically Emocion Red. The key benefit is its concentrated formula offering double coverage with excellent durability and UV resistance. A potential caveat is the 150ml can size, which may require multiple cans for larger projects. Hycote Double Acrylic Paints are designed for superior coverage, fast drying times, and a tough, hard-wearing finish resistant to sunlight and fading. They are compatible with OEM finishes and suitable for various surfaces including metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics.

FAQs
How much area can one 150ml can cover?
Due to its concentrated formula, one 150ml can of Hycote Double Acrylic paint offers double the coverage of standard aerosols, suitable for small to medium-sized touch-up jobs.
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
This paint is versatile and can be used on metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics. Always ensure appropriate preparation and priming for optimal results.
Do I need a primer before using this spray paint?
A primer is recommended for best results, especially on bare metal (use etch or zinc phosphate primer) and plastics (use a plastic primer). It also helps achieve the most accurate colour match.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Hycote Double Acrylic paints are fast-drying. Drying times vary with temperature and humidity, but it typically flashes off within minutes, allowing for recoating relatively quickly.
Is this paint resistant to fading?
Yes, the paint offers excellent resistance to sunlight and fading, ensuring the colour remains vibrant and durable over time.
Can I apply this over existing paint?
Yes, it is compatible with OEM finishes and can be used over existing acrylic and cellulosic finishes. Ensure the old finish is in good condition and clean.
What does 'Double Acrylic' mean?
'Double Acrylic' refers to the technology that allows the can to hold more paint relative to the propellant, resulting in significantly higher coverage per can compared to conventional spray paints.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or splattering
Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly before and during use. Check the nozzle for blockages. Apply in consistent, sweeping motions at the recommended distance.
Paint not drying properly
Ensure application conditions are suitable (temperature and humidity). Avoid applying excessively thick coats. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Poor adhesion or peeling
The surface may not have been adequately prepared or primed. Re-clean the surface, remove loose paint, apply the correct primer, and reapply the colour spray.
Colour doesn't match expected shade
Ensure the correct manufacturer code (LS3H, S3H for Emocion Red) was selected. Consider the condition and colour of the original finish underneath; a primer might be needed for a true match.
Can not spraying / nozzle clogged
Turn the can upside down and spray briefly to clear the nozzle. If blocked, remove the nozzle and clean with thinners, then reattach. Ensure the ball bearing inside the can is free to move.
