FAQs

How many coats of paint are needed?

Generally, two or three thin coats are recommended for optimal coverage and finish.

Do I need to use a primer?

No, Jenolite Radiator Enamel Spray Paint can be applied directly to bare metal, eliminating the need for a primer.

What is the drying time?

Drying time is typically around 2 hours per coat, but always refer to the product label for specific instructions.

Can I use this paint on other surfaces?

While primarily designed for radiators, the paint can be used on other metal surfaces that withstand the specified temperature range. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

What is the coverage of one can?

Coverage varies depending on the application and number of coats. Refer to the product label for the estimated coverage area per can.

What should I do if I get paint on my skin?

Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation persists, consult a doctor.

Is the paint resistant to high temperatures?

Yes, it is resistant to temperatures up to 130°C.

How do I store the paint after use?

Store the can in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the nozzle is clean after use.

Troubleshooting

Paint is running or dripping.

Apply thinner coats and ensure the spray nozzle is clean. Hold the can the recommended distance from the surface.

Paint finish is uneven.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, and apply even coats. Multiple thin coats usually give the best results.

Paint is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before painting.

Thoroughly remove all rust before painting. Consider using a rust converter prior to painting for added protection.
