FAQs
What coverage can I expect from a 150ml can?
The compressed aerosol technology in this 150ml can provides coverage equivalent to a conventional 300ml aerosol can.
Do I need to use the primer and lacquer?
Yes, using the included Grey Primer is essential for optimal adhesion and a uniform base. The Clear Lacquer is recommended to protect the finish and enhance its gloss and durability.
How long should I wait between coats?
Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity. Refer to the instructions on each can for specific recoat times. Generally, allow 10-15 minutes between coats for the silver paint.
Can this paint be used on plastic parts?
This paint is designed for primed surfaces and is compatible with OEM, acrylic, and cellulosic paints. For plastics, it's crucial to use a primer specifically designed for plastic adhesion first.
How do I clean the spray nozzle after use?
After finishing your spray session, turn the can upside down and press the nozzle to spray for a few seconds until only clear propellant comes out. This prevents the nozzle from becoming clogged.
What is the best surface preparation for this paint?
The surface should be clean, dry, and free from grease, dirt, rust, and loose paint. Sanding lightly after priming can also improve adhesion. Always use the recommended Hycote primer.
Is this paint suitable for exterior automotive use?
Yes, the paint is formulated to be tough, hard-wearing, and resistant to sunlight and colour fading, making it suitable for automotive exterior touch-ups.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering
Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly before and during use. Clear the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying until clear. If the issue persists, the nozzle may be blocked, and the can may need replacing.
Runs or drips
Apply paint in thinner coats rather than one heavy coat. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface and use a steady spraying motion. Reduce spraying speed if necessary.
Poor adhesion
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from grease, rust, and old paint flakes. Ensure the appropriate primer has been applied and allowed to dry fully before top coating.
Paint not drying properly
Check ambient temperature and humidity levels; avoid spraying in very cold, damp, or humid conditions. Ensure coats are not applied too thickly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease and contaminants.
- Apply the included Grey Primer to the prepared surface. Allow it to dry completely as per the primer's instructions.
- Shake the Silver Metallic paint can vigorously for at least two minutes.
- Test spray on a non-visible area to check for colour and spray pattern.
- Apply the Silver Metallic paint in thin, even coats from approximately 25cm away, using a steady back-and-forth motion.
- Allow sufficient drying time between coats (refer to can instructions).
- Once the final coat of silver paint is dry, apply the Clear Lacquer in the same manner to protect the finish and add gloss.
Compatibility:
This paint is compatible with OEM finishes, acrylic, and cellulosic paints. Use Hycote primers and preparation products for optimal results. It is not recommended for use on plastics unless specifically primed for such applications.
Care:
Keep cans stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. After use, clear the nozzle by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds until clear propellant emerges.
