FAQs
What is the coverage of a 150ml can?
The Double Acrylic technology offers double the coverage of standard aerosols, meaning a 150ml can will cover approximately twice the area of a conventional 150ml spray paint.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is fast drying. Touch dry times are typically within 15-20 minutes, with handling dry times within 1-2 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
Can I use this on bare metal?
Yes, it can be used on bare metal, but proper preparation is essential. Ensure the metal is clean, free of rust, and apply a suitable primer for best adhesion and corrosion protection.
Is this paint suitable for interior car parts?
Yes, the paint is suitable for interior parts made of metal or compatible plastics. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
How many coats should I apply?
It is recommended to apply multiple thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Two to three light coats are usually sufficient for good coverage and an even finish.
What is the difference between this and standard spray paint?
Hycote Double Acrylic paints have a higher concentration of paint relative to propellant, allowing for significantly improved coverage and a more efficient application process compared to standard aerosols.
Can I paint over this with a clear coat?
Yes, this acrylic paint is compatible with clear coats. Applying a clear coat will further enhance durability and gloss.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or sputtering
Ensure the can is adequately shaken. Clear the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds. If the issue persists, the nozzle may be blocked; try cleaning it with a solvent or replacing it if possible.
Paint not adhering well
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Lightly sand the surface for better mechanical adhesion. If painting plastic, ensure a plastic primer was used.
Color mismatch
Double-check the manufacturer's paint code on your vehicle against the product description. Sometimes, paint codes can have slight variations or your original paint may have faded. Test sprays in an inconspicuous area are crucial.
Runs or drips in the finish
Applying the paint too thickly or holding the can too close to the surface can cause runs. Apply in multiple thin, even coats, allowing flash-off time between coats. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, or rust. Lightly sand surfaces for better adhesion. For plastics, use a suitable plastic primer.
- Environment: Use in a well-ventilated area, ideally between 15-25°C. Protect surrounding areas from overspray.
- Testing: Before full application, test the spray on an inconspicuous area to confirm color match and spray pattern.
- Application: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes. Hold the can approximately 25-30cm from the surface. Apply in light, even coats, moving the can continuously.

- Compatible with OEM automotive finishes.
- Suitable for application over existing acrylic and cellulosic paint finishes.
- Adheres to metals, rigid plastics, wood, and ceramics (priming may be required for some surfaces).
Care:

- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Clean up any spills immediately with appropriate solvents.
