Troubleshooting

Paint is not spraying evenly or is sputtering.

Ensure the aerosol is shaken thoroughly for at least 2 minutes. Check that the nozzle is not clogged. If clogged, try cleaning it with a suitable solvent or use the upside-down spray technique after use.

Poor adhesion or peeling paint.

Verify the surface was properly cleaned and free of contaminants (dirt, oil, wax, rust) before application. Ensure a suitable primer was used for optimal adhesion.

Color does not match the original paint.

Confirm that the Manufacturer Paint Code (J, 1676A) matches your vehicle's code. Note that older paint may have faded, and a perfect match might require professional color matching services.

Paint takes too long to dry.

Ensure the application environment is within the recommended temperature range (15°C-25°C) and has adequate ventilation. Avoid applying in humid conditions.

Nozzle blockage after use.

Always turn the aerosol upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds after each application to clear the nozzle.
