FAQs

Can this be used on surfaces other than metal?

Yes, it is suitable for use on plastics, wood, and ceramics in addition to automotive metal surfaces.

Is this paint compatible with my existing clear coat?

The paint is compatible with standard OEM, acrylic, and cellulosic finishes.

How long does the paint take to dry?

It is a fast-drying formula, though exact times depend on ambient temperature and humidity. It is recommended to wait at least 30-60 minutes between coats.

Will this fix a large dent or long scratch?

This product is designed for small stone chips and minor surface scratches. It is not recommended for covering large areas or deep gouges.

How should I store the paint after opening?

Ensure the cap is screwed on tightly and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Does this paint fade over time?

The formula includes high resistance to sunlight and fading, helping the repair match the surrounding paint for an extended period.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears too thick or gloopy

Ensure the bottle is shaken thoroughly for at least one minute. If it remains thick, the storage temperature might be too cold; bring it to room temperature.

The repair area looks uneven

Use thinner coats and allow for proper drying time. If the area is uneven, very fine wet-and-dry sanding may be used after the paint has fully cured.

Paint is not adhering well

Clean the surface again with a professional degreaser or alcohol wipe to ensure all wax, polish, or silicone residues are removed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise application for small blemishes
  • High resistance to UV fading
  • Suitable for various materials beyond just cars
  • Durable and hard-wearing finish

Cons

  • Small 12.5ml volume limits use to minor repairs
  • Not suitable for large panel respraying
  • Requires careful preparation of the surface for optimal adhesion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free of rust or loose debris. Use a mild degreaser if necessary to ensure the paint bonds correctly. The paint is compatible with existing acrylic and cellulosic finishes.

For storage, ensure the cap is tightened securely to prevent the paint from drying out inside the bottle. Keep the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the viscosity of the formula. When applying, use light strokes and allow sufficient drying time between layers to avoid texture buildup.
