FAQs
Does this paint require a clear coat?
While it provides a high-gloss finish, adding a clear coat can offer additional UV protection and depth, though it is not strictly required.
Can I use this on plastic bumpers?
Yes, but you should use a suitable plastic primer first to ensure proper adhesion to the substrate.
How long should I wait between coats?
Typically, 10-15 minutes is recommended, but this depends on ambient temperature and humidity.
Is this product heat resistant?
It is designed for standard automotive body panels and wheels, but it is not intended for high-temperature areas like engine blocks or brake calipers.
How many wheels can I paint with one 500ml can?
A single 500ml can is typically sufficient for 1-2 wheels depending on the complexity of the wheel design and the number of coats applied.
Troubleshooting
Paint is running or sagging
You are applying the coats too heavily. Apply thinner layers and allow for proper flash-off time between coats.
Nozzle is clogged or spray is uneven
Turn the canister upside down and spray for 2-3 seconds to clear the valve. If still clogged, soak the nozzle in thinners.
Paint is flaking or peeling after drying
This usually indicates inadequate surface preparation. Ensure all wax, grease, and loose material are removed before the next attempt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the target surface is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and sanded to provide an appropriate "key" for the paint to grip. Remove all dust and residue using a tack cloth.
- Preparation: Sand the area with fine-grit abrasive to remove old loose paint and oxidation.
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a suitable degreaser.
- Application: Shake the canister vigorously for at least two minutes before spraying.
- Distance: Maintain a distance of 15-20cm from the surface.
- Maintenance: Store the canister in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Invert the can and spray briefly after use to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging.
