FAQs
What surfaces can I use this metallic spray paint on?
This paint is suitable for metal, wood, plastic, and other common project surfaces. Always ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. For plastics, a test patch or primer is recommended.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is quick-drying. Typically, it is dry to the touch within 15-20 minutes, and recoating is possible after 5-10 minutes. Full curing may take 24 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
Do I need to use a primer?
While the paint offers good adhesion, using a primer is recommended for optimal results, especially on bare wood, porous surfaces, or plastics, to ensure better adhesion and a more uniform finish.
How can I achieve the best metallic effect?
Apply the paint in thin, even coats with consistent overlapping strokes. Maintain a uniform spray distance. Avoid applying too heavily, as this can obscure the metallic flakes and lead to an uneven appearance.
Can this paint be used outdoors?
Yes, the paint is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, offering resistance to cracking, peeling, and fading.
How should I clean the spray nozzle after use?
Immediately after use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds until clear propellant comes out. This prevents the nozzle from clogging.
What is the can size?
This particular product is available in a 400ml can.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or sputtering
Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear it. Shake the can more vigorously before and during use.
Runs or drips in the paint finish
The paint was applied too thickly or too close to the surface. Allow the paint to dry completely, then lightly sand the affected area and reapply in thin, even coats from the recommended distance.
Poor adhesion or peeling
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application. For plastics, consider using a plastic primer.
Metallic finish looks inconsistent
Apply paint in consistent, overlapping strokes. Ensure even coverage and adequate drying time between coats. The direction of spray can also affect the metallic flake orientation; maintain a consistent direction for each coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Hold the can upright, approximately 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) from the surface.

Compatibility:
This spray paint is designed for use on metal, wood, plastic, and other suitable surfaces. For plastics, it is recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first or use a plastic primer. It is not intended for use on surfaces that will come into direct contact with food or extreme heat.

- After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle.
- Clean up wet paint immediately with a suitable solvent. Dried paint may be difficult to remove.
- To maintain the finish, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
