Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or splattering
Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly for at least two minutes. Hold the can at the recommended distance (15-25cm) and apply in thin, even coats. If the nozzle is blocked, try cleaning it with a solvent or replacing it if possible.
Paint not drying
Check that the application temperature is within the recommended range of 15°C-25°C. Ensure adequate ventilation. Applying coats that are too thick can also inhibit drying.
Poor adhesion or peeling
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Applying primer before the topcoat is recommended for best adhesion, especially on bare surfaces.
Colour match is not exact
Verify that the vehicle's paint code matches the product's specified code (T, LG, 1181 for Ford Riviera Blue, 1978-1979 models). Variations can occur due to fading or previous repaint jobs on the vehicle.
