FAQs

What surfaces can this spray paint be used on?

This spray paint is suitable for a variety of surfaces including metal, plastic, wood, and glass, for both automotive, exterior, and interior applications.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, but specific drying times can vary based on temperature, humidity, and application thickness. It's generally touch-dry within minutes and fully cured within a few hours.

How do I achieve the best finish?

For the best finish, ensure the surface is clean and prepared. Shake the can well, apply in thin, even coats from the recommended distance (usually 25-30 cm), and use a steady sweeping motion. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

What is the coverage of a 400ml can?

A 400ml can typically provides coverage for approximately 1.5 to 2 square meters, depending on the surface and application thickness. This can vary, so testing on a small area is recommended.

How should I clean the spray nozzle after use?

After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds until only clear propellant is released. This clears the nozzle and prevents it from clogging for future use.

Can this paint be used for outdoor projects?

Yes, this paint is suitable for exterior applications and provides a durable finish that can withstand outdoor conditions.

Do I need a primer before using this paint?

While the paint adheres to many surfaces, using a primer is recommended for optimal adhesion, especially on plastics or when painting over difficult surfaces. A primer can also enhance the durability and color consistency.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or sputtering

Shake the can more vigorously for at least two minutes. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged; if it is, clean it according to the care instructions. Try spraying at the recommended distance.

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dried, and free of contaminants. Lightly sanding the surface before application can improve adhesion. For plastics, consider using a plastic primer.

Runs or drips in the paint finish

Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface and use a steady sweeping motion. If drips occur, allow the paint to dry completely and then gently sand the area smooth before reapplying.

Can is not spraying

Check if the nozzle is clogged. Ensure the can has been shaken sufficiently. If the can is cold, try warming it slightly by soaking it in warm water (do not boil). Confirm the nozzle is properly seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. For best adhesion, lightly sand smooth surfaces. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Test spray on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Compatibility: This spray paint is compatible with metal, plastic, wood, and glass. For plastics, it's recommended to use a plastic primer first for optimal adhesion. Always check paint compatibility if applying over existing coatings.

Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging. Clean up any spills immediately with a suitable solvent.
