FAQs
What Ford models is this paint compatible with?
This Autotek Tectonic Silver paint is compatible with Ford C-Max, Focus, and Fusion models manufactured from 2011 onwards. Always double-check that your vehicle's manufacturer paint code matches 7310, A.
Can I use this paint on surfaces other than car body panels?
Yes, the paint is suitable for use on metal, glass fibre, and rigid plastic surfaces.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
The paint should be touch dry within 10-20 minutes after application. Full curing takes approximately 24 hours.
Do I need to use a primer before applying this spray paint?
For optimum adhesion and the best possible finish, it is recommended to apply a minimum of two coats of Autotek Grey Primer before applying the colour coat.
What is the ideal temperature for applying the spray paint?
The paint should be used in temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid application outside this range for optimal results and drying times.
How should I clean the spray nozzle after use?
After each use, turn the aerosol can upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear any paint from the nozzle and prevent it from becoming blocked.
Is this paint suitable for professional automotive painters?
While it provides a high-quality, professional finish for DIY users and touch-ups, professional body shops may use different types of paint systems for major repairs. However, its exact colour match and durable properties make it a reliable option for minor work.
Troubleshooting
Paint not spraying evenly or splattering
Ensure the aerosol can was shaken thoroughly for at least 2 minutes. Check if the nozzle is clear; if not, follow the nozzle clearing instructions. Ensure consistent spraying distance and speed.
Poor adhesion or paint peeling
The surface may not have been properly prepared or primed. Re-clean the area, apply Autotek Grey Primer, allow it to cure, and reapply the silver paint. Ensure the application temperature is within the recommended range.
Colour does not match the original paint
Verify the manufacturer paint code on your vehicle matches code 7310, A. Ensure the original paintwork is not faded or has been previously repaired with a non-exact match product. For best results, always prepare with primer.
Nozzle blockage after use
Always turn the aerosol upside down and spray for 2-5 seconds immediately after each use to clear any residual paint from the nozzle.
Paint takes too long to dry
Check the ambient temperature; it may be too low. Ensure the paint is applied in thin coats, as thick coats take longer to dry. Apply within the recommended temperature range of 15°C-25°C.
