FAQs

What surfaces can I use MaxiColor on?

MaxiColor Spray Gloss can be used on treated and untreated wood, metal, aluminium, glass, stone, and plastic.

How do I prepare the surface before painting?

Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, rust or loose paint. Lightly sand the surface if necessary to improve adhesion.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

It is recommended to apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Allow the recommended drying time between coats.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times can vary depending on the temperature and humidity. Refer to the product label for specific drying times. Generally, it will be dry to the touch in about 15-30 minutes and fully dry in a few hours.

Can I use MaxiColor outdoors?

Yes, MaxiColor Spray Gloss is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

How do I clean the spray nozzle?

After each use, turn the can upside down and spray until only propellant comes out to clean the nozzle.

What should I do if the paint starts to run?

If the paint starts to run, stop spraying immediately. Allow the paint to dry completely, then lightly sand the area and reapply thin coats.

Troubleshooting

Paint is dripping or running.

Apply thinner coats and ensure the spray nozzle is not too close to the surface. Also, ensure the can is shaken well before use.

Poor coverage or uneven finish.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Apply multiple thin coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

Clogged nozzle.

Clean the nozzle immediately after use. If clogged, try soaking it in solvent or replacing it.

Paint not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean and free of grease, oil, or rust. Lightly sand glossy surfaces for better adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  2. Masking: Protect any areas you don't want to paint with masking tape and paper.
  3. Shake Well: Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle.
  4. Test Spray: Before applying to the final surface, test spray on a piece of cardboard to check the color and spray pattern.

Compatibility

MaxiColor Spray Gloss is compatible with a wide range of materials including wood, metal, aluminium, glass, stone, and plastic. However, it's recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on plastics, to ensure compatibility and adhesion.

Care

Once the paint is dry, the surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish. For outdoor applications, regular cleaning can help maintain the appearance and extend the life of the paint.
