Troubleshooting
Uneven or patchy coverage
Ensure the can was shaken adequately. Adjust the distance from the model (too close can cause pooling, too far can cause dusting). Apply in multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Check for adverse weather conditions (high humidity, extreme cold).
Nozzle clogged or not spraying
Turn the can upside down and spray briefly to clear the nozzle. If still clogged, remove the nozzle and soak it in lukewarm water, then clear with a fine pin or wire. Replace the nozzle securely. Ensure the can was not stored with a clogged nozzle.
Paint appears gritty or dusty
This is often due to spraying from too far away or in very dry/windy conditions. Try applying closer and in a more sheltered environment. Ensure the paint has fully mixed.
White frosting effect on the paint
This is usually caused by high humidity. Try spraying in a drier environment. If it occurs, it may need to be carefully stripped and reapplied.
