FAQs

How much area can one 150ml can cover?

The compressed aerosol technology provides coverage equivalent to a conventional 300ml aerosol can. Coverage will vary depending on the surface and application thickness, but typically a 150ml can offers good coverage for small to medium-sized parts.

What is the drying time?

The paint is fast-drying. However, specific drying times depend on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Touch dry is usually within minutes, but full cure takes longer. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per application instructions.

Can I use this on plastic parts?

Yes, this paint is generally compatible with most surfaces, including plastic, provided the surface is properly prepared and primed. For plastics, ensure good adhesion by using a suitable primer and testing in an inconspicuous area first.

What is the difference between the primer, paint, and lacquer?

The Grey Primer provides a uniform base for adhesion and color consistency. The Diamond Silver Metallic paint provides the color and metallic finish. The Clear Lacquer provides a high-gloss protective layer that enhances durability and protects against UV damage and fading.

How should I store the cans after use?

After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. Store the cans upright in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely replaced.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

Yes, the paint is formulated to be tough, hard-wearing, and resistant to sunlight and color fading, making it suitable for exterior applications.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or clogging

Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly before and during use. Clear the nozzle after each use by inverting the can and spraying. If still clogged, remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water, then dry thoroughly before reattaching.

Runs or drips

This usually occurs from applying the paint too thickly or too close to the surface. Apply paint in several light, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface and keep the spray moving.

Poor adhesion or peeling

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from grease) and that the primer was applied correctly. Ensure compatibility with the underlying surface.

Metallic flecks not laying flat

Apply the metallic paint in light, even coats with consistent spraying technique. Avoid over-spraying any one area. The final clear coat can help to level the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
