FAQs
What is the best way to prepare the surface before painting?
Clean the surface thoroughly with soap and water, then degrease it with a suitable solvent. Lightly sand the area to create a good surface for adhesion. Ensure the surface is completely dry before application.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
The paint is fast-drying. Typically, it is touch-dry within 10-15 minutes and fully cured within 24 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Recoat after approximately 30-60 minutes.
Can this spray paint be used on plastics?
It can be used on some plastics, but for best results and adhesion, it is recommended to use a plastic primer first. Always test on a small area.
What is the heat resistance of this paint?
This paint has a heat resistance of up to 100°C.
How should I store the spray can after use?
After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. Store upright in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not puncture or incinerate.
What is the shelf life of the paint?
The paint has a shelf life of 60 months when stored correctly.
Does this paint require a clear coat?
While the paint itself offers good durability, applying a compatible clear coat can further enhance protection against scratches, chemicals, and UV rays, and provide a glossier finish if desired.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering.
Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged by cleaning it with a solvent or using the post-use clearing technique.
Paint is running or dripping.
Apply paint in thinner coats from a slightly further distance. Ensure the surface is not being oversaturated. Check for proper can shaking.
Poor adhesion or chipping.
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and sanded. Use an appropriate primer if painting on difficult surfaces like certain plastics. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Color does not match.
Colors can appear different under various lighting conditions and on different base materials. Always test spray on a hidden area first. Ensure the can has been shaken thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, and rust. Lightly sand the surface for better adhesion. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use to ensure the pigment is evenly mixed. Test spray on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Compatibility: Suitable for primed metal, wood, and some plastics. For certain plastics, a plastic primer may be necessary for optimal adhesion. Not recommended for use on surfaces that exceed 100°C continuously.
Care: Store the can upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging. Clean any accidental spills immediately with a suitable solvent.
