Troubleshooting
Paint nozzle blockage
Turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds after each use to clear the nozzle. If already blocked, try using a suitable solvent or soaking the nozzle in warm water (ensure nozzle is dry before reattaching).
Uneven or patchy finish
Ensure the can is shaken adequately before and during use. Apply in thin, even coats, maintaining a consistent distance from the surface. Allow proper drying time between coats.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Verify the surface was properly cleaned and prepared, free from contaminants. Ensure a suitable primer was applied and allowed to cure. Check that application temperatures were within the recommended range (15°C-25°C).
Color mismatch
Confirm the correct paint code (AJ4 for Nissan Flame Red) and vehicle model/year compatibility. Ensure previous paint layers did not significantly alter the base color.
Runs or drips
Apply paint in thinner coats and increase the distance slightly from the surface. Allow more drying time between coats if humidity is high.
