FAQs

What Kia models is this paint compatible with?

This paint is designed to be an exact match for Kia Bright Silver (Paint Code: 3D) on Kia models manufactured between 2006 and 2018.

Can I use this paint on plastic parts?

Yes, this spray paint is formulated for use on rigid plastic surfaces, as well as metal and fiberglass.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint should be touch dry in 10-20 minutes. However, it needs to fully cure for 24 hours to achieve its maximum durability.

Do I need to use a primer?

While not strictly mandatory for all surfaces, using Autotek Grey Primer is highly recommended for optimum adhesion and the best possible finish.

What are the ideal conditions for applying the paint?

The paint should be applied outdoors or in a well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C.

How do I prevent the nozzle from clogging?

After each use, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear any remaining paint from the nozzle.

Can this paint be used over existing paint finishes?

Yes, this product is compatible with nearly all automotive paint finishes, including cellulose.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or sputtering

Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked; if necessary, try cleaning it with a solvent (refer to can instructions) and spray upside down after use.

Poor colour match

Ensure you are using the correct paint code (3D for Kia Bright Silver). Verify the original paint on the vehicle has not faded significantly. Allow the paint to fully cure as the final colour may vary slightly when wet.

Runs or drips in the paint finish

You may have applied the paint too thickly or from too close. Apply thinner coats from the recommended distance and allow adequate drying time between coats.

Paint not adhering to the surface

The surface may not have been properly prepared or primed. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Use Autotek Grey Primer for optimal adhesion.

Paint is too thin or doesn't cover well

Apply more thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Ensure sufficient paint is left in the can and that the spray pattern is consistent.
