FAQs

What is the specific Ford paint code for this Royal Blue?

The manufacturer paint code for this specific Royal Blue is G/JH/937.

Can this paint be used on interior plastic parts?

Yes, this paint is compatible with plastics and can be used on interior parts, provided the surface is properly prepared and clean.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast drying. Allow approximately 10-15 minutes between light coats. Full curing time will vary depending on temperature and humidity.

Does this paint require a primer?

While it can adhere to many surfaces, using a primer is recommended, especially on bare metal or plastics, to ensure optimal adhesion and a uniform finish.

How many coats should I apply for best results?

For best results, apply multiple light, even coats rather than one thick coat. Allow 10-15 minutes drying time between each coat. The number of coats depends on the desired opacity and finish.

What is the 'double coverage' feature?

The 'double coverage' means the can contains significantly more paint relative to the amount of propellant compared to standard aerosols, offering more paint per can and potentially covering a larger area or providing a thicker coat.

Can I use this paint on wood?

Yes, this paint is suitable for use on wood surfaces, provided they are clean, dry, and properly prepared.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not spraying evenly or is sputtering.

Shake the can more vigorously for a longer period (at least 2 minutes). Ensure the nozzle is not blocked. Try clearing the nozzle by spraying upside down after use.

Poor adhesion or peeling paint.

The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Lightly abrading the surface before painting can improve adhesion. Ensure compatibility with existing finishes.

Runs or drips in the paint finish.

Applying paint too thickly or too close to the surface. Use lighter, more even coats and maintain the recommended spray distance (25-30cm). Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Coverage is not as expected.

Ensure the can has been shaken sufficiently. The 'double coverage' refers to the paint volume compared to propellant, not necessarily covering double the area of a standard can of the same physical size if applied thickly. Apply thin, even coats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior coverage reduces paint consumption and application time.
  • Precise colour matching for authentic vehicle repairs.
  • Durable and weather-resistant finish for longevity.
  • Fast drying time minimizes dust contamination and speeds up projects.
  • Versatile application on various materials.

Cons

  • Requires careful surface preparation for best adhesion and finish.
  • Aerosol application can lead to overspray if not managed.
  • 150ml can size may be insufficient for very large projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and loose paint. Sand lightly if necessary.
  2. For plastics, use a suitable plastic primer.
  3. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. You should hear the ball rattling.
  4. Hold the can upright, approximately 25-30cm from the surface.
  5. Apply paint in light, even coats, using a steady back-and-forth motion. Overlap each stroke slightly.
  6. Allow 10-15 minutes between coats.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with OEM finishes.
  • Suitable for acrylic and cellulosic finishes.
  • Adheres to metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics.

Care:

  • Keep out of reach of children.
