FAQs

What specific Citroen paint code does this spray match?

This Autotek spray paint is an exact match for Citroen's Shark Grey Metallic, which has the paint codes 9P and KTP.

What surfaces can I use this spray paint on?

The paint is formulated for durable finishes on metal, fiberglass, and rigid plastic surfaces commonly found on vehicles.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint is touch dry in approximately 10-20 minutes after application, with a full cure taking around 24 hours.

Can I use this paint in cold weather?

It is recommended to use this product outdoors or in a well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C for optimal results and proper drying.

Do I need to prime the surface before painting?

Yes, for optimum adhesion and the best possible finish, applying a minimum of two coats of Autotek Grey Primer is recommended before applying the color coat.

What is the best distance to spray from?

You should spray from a distance of 15-25 cm away from the surface to achieve an even coat and avoid drips.

How do I prevent the nozzle from clogging?

After each use, turn the aerosol can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear any paint from the nozzle, preventing blockages.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or sputtering

Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked; try spraying upside down for a few seconds to clear it. Ensure the temperature is within the recommended range.

Poor color match

Confirm the original paint code on the vehicle matches '9P, KTP'. Ensure surfaces were properly primed and prepared. Note that older paint may have faded, affecting the final match.

Runs or drips in the paint

The paint may have been applied too thickly or from too close. Apply in thinner, more even coats and allow adequate drying time between applications. Reduce spray distance if too far, or increase if too close and causing runs.

Paint not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and free of contaminants before application. Verify that a primer was used for optimum adhesion, especially on difficult surfaces.

Nozzle blockage after use

After each use, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear any residual paint from the nozzle.
