FAQs

What is the coverage area of a 150ml can?

Hycote Double Acrylic Spray Paint offers up to double the coverage of conventional spray cans due to its technology. Specific coverage can vary based on surface porosity and application thickness, but it is designed for efficiency on smaller to medium-sized areas or touch-ups.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. Typically, it is touch-dry within 10-15 minutes, with recoating possible within that timeframe. Full cure time will depend on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.

Can this paint be used on plastic parts?

Yes, this paint is suitable for use on most plastic surfaces, as well as metal, wood, and ceramics. For best adhesion on plastics, ensure the surface is clean and consider using a plastic primer if recommended for the specific plastic type.

Is this paint suitable for exterior automotive use?

Yes, it is designed for automotive applications and offers excellent resistance to sunlight and fading, making it suitable for exterior use when properly applied and protected with a compatible lacquer.

Do I need to use a primer and lacquer?

While the paint can be applied directly, using a Hycote primer will significantly improve adhesion and color depth. Applying a Hycote lacquer afterward will enhance durability, protection, and the overall finish.

How should I clean the nozzle after use?

After spraying, turn the can upside down and press the nozzle for a few seconds until only clear propellant emerges. This prevents the nozzle from becoming blocked.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or splattering

Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked. Hold the can at the recommended distance and apply in lighter, overlapping coats.

Paint not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, free from contaminants). Use an appropriate Hycote primer. Re-apply if necessary after ensuring proper preparation.

Runs or drips

Applied paint too thickly or held the can too close to the surface. Allow the paint to dry, lightly sand the affected area, and re-apply in thin, even coats.

Color does not match

Verify the exact vehicle model and year. Test spray on a hidden area. Color perception can vary; consider professional color matching services if a perfect match is critical and testing proves insufficient.
