FAQs
Is this paint compatible with all RC fuels?
It is fuel-resistant, but performance depends on the nitro concentration. Always test on a swatch first.
Can I use this on materials other than plastic?
Yes, it can be used on various surfaces, but we recommend a test application to check for adhesion and compatibility.
How long should I wait between coats?
Drying time depends on temperature and humidity. Generally, wait until the surface is touch-dry before applying subsequent coats.
Is a primer required before using this paint?
While not strictly mandatory, using a suitable primer will improve adhesion and ensure a more uniform color finish.
How should I clean up accidental spills?
Wipe away fuel spills promptly with a clean, soft cloth to maintain the integrity and appearance of the finish.
Troubleshooting
Paint is running or sagging during application
You are likely applying the paint too heavily; use lighter, more frequent coats from a greater distance.
Aerosol nozzle is clogged
Turn the can upside down and spray until clear, or soak the nozzle in a small amount of appropriate enamel thinner.
Paint finish is dull or uneven
Ensure the surface is properly primed and smooth; surface imperfections show through enamel coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, use the paint in a well-ventilated area away from open flames. Shake the aerosol can thoroughly for at least one to two minutes before spraying to ensure the pigments are well-mixed. Apply in several thin, light coats rather than one heavy layer to prevent sagging or runs. Allow adequate drying time between coats as specified by ambient temperature conditions. Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always clear the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying for a few seconds after each use to prevent clogging. Always conduct a compatibility test if you intend to apply this over existing primer or base coats.
