FAQs
How long does it take for the paint to be fully cured?
While touch-dry in 10 minutes, full curing can take 24-48 hours depending on temperature and humidity. Avoid heavy use or cleaning until fully cured.
Can I use this paint on fabric or textiles?
This product is designed for hard surfaces like wood, metal, plastic, glass, and stone. It is not recommended for use on fabric or textiles.
What is the coverage of one 400ml can?
One 400ml can provides coverage of up to approximately 1.75 square meters, depending on the surface and application thickness.
Do I need to use a primer?
A primer is recommended for bare or porous surfaces like raw wood or metal, and for achieving the best adhesion and finish. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the paint provides resistance to chemicals and weather influences, making it suitable for outdoor items.
How should I store the spray paint can?
Store the can upright in a cool, dry place, away from sources of ignition, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures.
Can I paint over existing paint with this product?
Yes, provided the existing paint is sound and clean. Lightly sand glossy surfaces for better adhesion. Always test in a small area first.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or splattering
Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged by turning the can upside down and spraying briefly to clear. Hold the can at the recommended distance (approx. 25-30cm) and use smooth, even strokes.
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared: clean, dry, and free of contaminants. If painting over a glossy or slick surface, a primer might be needed. Check if the surface is compatible with acrylic paints.
Runs or drips forming
Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface and use steady, overlapping strokes. If runs occur, allow to dry and gently sand down before reapplying thin coats.
Can seems to be blocked
Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If this doesn't work, carefully remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water or a suitable solvent, then dry thoroughly before reattaching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
