FAQs

What surfaces can I use Tetrosyl Trade Spray Paint on?

This primer is suitable for a wide range of automotive surfaces including rigid plastics, metal, and existing paintwork. It is also effective on wheels and wheel trims.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. Typically, it is touch-dry within minutes and ready for recoating after approximately 15-30 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity.

Can I apply a different brand of topcoat over this primer?

While compatible with cellulose finish paints, for best results and to ensure optimal adhesion and finish, it is recommended to use Tetrosyl topcoats. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if using a different brand.

How do I achieve a 'spray gun' finish?

Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly, hold it at the recommended distance (25-30 cm), and apply in light, even, overlapping coats using the adjustable nozzle. Avoid applying too heavily in one go.

What is the coverage of a 500ml can?

Coverage varies depending on the application thickness and surface porosity, but a 500ml can typically covers approximately 1-2 square meters with two coats.

Is this primer suitable for flexible plastics?

This primer is formulated for rigid plastics. For flexible plastics, it is advisable to use a primer specifically designed for flexible substrates.

How should I store the spray can?

Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and open flames. Ensure the nozzle is cleared after each use and the cap is replaced securely.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or splattering

Shake the can more thoroughly. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked. Clean the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds. Hold the can at the correct distance (25-30 cm).

Runs or drips

Apply in lighter, more even coats. Reduce the amount of paint applied per pass. Ensure the can is held at a consistent distance and angle.

Poor adhesion

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or wax. Lightly abrade the surface if necessary. Always perform a test spray on a small, hidden area first.

Nozzle clogged after use

Immediately after spraying, invert the can and spray for 5-10 seconds to clear the propellant and prevent clogging. If still clogged, remove the nozzle and soak in a suitable solvent like cellulose thinners, then rinse and dry before reattaching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves a professional 'spray gun' finish from an aerosol.
  • Fast drying time speeds up the refinishing process.
  • Adjustable nozzle offers excellent control and even application.
  • Suitable for a variety of automotive surfaces including plastics.
  • Good compatibility with cellulose paints.

Cons

  • Primarily designed as a primer, may require a separate topcoat.
  • Potential for compatibility issues with non-automotive specific paint systems.
  • Aerosol application can be less forgiving than traditional spray equipment in dusty environments.
  • 500ml can size may be large for very small touch-up jobs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before use, shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure thorough mixing of the contents. Test spray on a non-visible area to check spray pattern and color. Hold the can upright, approximately 25-30 cm from the surface. Apply in light, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between applications.

Compatibility: This primer is specifically formulated for automotive use and is compatible with rigid plastics, wheel and wheel trims, and cellulose finish paints. For best results, use with Tetrosyl automotive topcoats. Always test on an inconspicuous area before applying to the entire surface, especially when using with non-Tetrosyl topcoats or unfamiliar substrates.

Care: After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Ensure the lid is securely replaced.
