FAQs

How many coats should I apply?

For best results and durability, apply 2-3 thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between each coat as recommended on the can.

What is the coverage of one can?

One 400 ml can provides a minimum coverage of approximately 2 square meters, depending on the surface porosity and application thickness.

Can I use this paint on primed surfaces?

Yes, the paint is compatible with primed surfaces. Ensure the primer is suitable for the material (e.g., plastic primer for UPVC) and fully dry before application.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. Touch dry times are typically within 15-20 minutes, with recoating possible after approximately 30-60 minutes. Full curing may take longer.

Does the satin finish have a sheen?

Yes, a satin finish provides a smooth, low-lustre sheen that is less reflective than gloss but still has a noticeable shine.

What surfaces should I *avoid* using this paint on?

While versatile, avoid using on fabrics, flexible plastics, or surfaces that require extreme flexibility or chemical resistance beyond standard household conditions. Always test first.

How should I store the unused spray cans?

Store cans upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Ensure the nozzle is clear after use.

What is the shelf life of the paint?

Unopened cans typically have a shelf life of several years when stored correctly. Once opened, use within a reasonable timeframe.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or sputtering

Shake the can more vigorously for an extended period. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked; if it is, remove it and clean carefully with a pin or solvent, then reattach. Ensure the can is at room temperature.

Paint runs or sags

Apply paint in lighter, even coats. Hold the can at the recommended distance (typically 20-30 cm) from the surface. Avoid applying too much paint at once. If runs occur, allow to dry and gently sand down before re-applying a lighter coat.

Poor adhesion or peeling

Surface was not adequately cleaned or prepared. Ensure all grease, dirt, and moisture were removed and the surface was lightly abraded. Re-prepare the surface and reapply.

Color fade or blistering

This is often due to insufficient surface preparation or exposure to extreme conditions without proper application. Ensure adequate preparation and apply in suitable weather conditions (avoiding direct sun or high humidity).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation is Key: Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, and any loose paint. For UPVC, a solvent-based cleaner is recommended. Lightly abrade the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 400-grit) and wipe clean to ensure good adhesion. Mask off any adjacent areas you do not wish to paint using masking tape and sheeting.
  2. Ensure Ventilation: Use in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors or in a workshop with good airflow.
  3. Shake the Can: Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes before use to ensure the pigment and propellant are well mixed.

Compatibility:

This paint is primarily designed for UPVC. However, it is also suitable for use on:

  • Composite doors
  • Fascias
  • Drainpipes and guttering
  • MDF
  • Plastic
  • Melamine
  • Metal
  • Wood

*Always test on an inconspicuous area first to confirm compatibility and desired finish.*

Care:

  • The painted surface is washable. Use a soft cloth with mild detergent and water for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the finish.
  • The 10-year guarantee is subject to correct application and adherence to care instructions.
