FAQs
What surfaces can MaxiColor Spray Gloss be used on?
It is suitable for treated and untreated wood, metal, aluminum, glass, stone, and plastic. For best results on plastic and glass, a primer is recommended.
How should I prepare the surface before painting?
The surface should be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and rust. Light sanding is recommended for glossy or previously treated surfaces.
How long should I wait between coats?
Refer to the specific drying times indicated on the product can, as this can vary based on temperature and humidity. Typically, allow 10-15 minutes for recoating.
Can this paint be used outdoors?
Yes, MaxiColor Spray Gloss is formulated for both indoor and outdoor use.
How do I clean the spray nozzle if it gets clogged?
After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If the nozzle is heavily clogged, it may need to be replaced or cleaned with a suitable solvent, though replacement is often easier.
What is the best distance to spray from?
Hold the can upright, approximately 25-30 cm (10-12 inches) away from the surface for an even application.
Does this come in other colors?
Yes, MaxiColor offers a wide range of colors available in different RAL codes. Choco Brown is one of many options.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering
Shake the can more vigorously for another minute. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged; if it is, clean it with a suitable solvent or replace the can.
Paint is running or dripping
You may be holding the can too close or applying the paint too thickly. Apply in thinner coats from the recommended distance.
Poor adhesion or peeling
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Consider applying a primer, especially on difficult surfaces like plastic or metal.
Can won't spray
Check that the nozzle is clear. Ensure the can is at room temperature. Some cans have a safety lock that needs to be disengaged.
Color does not match expected shade
Ensure you are using the correct product code (MPN) and that the surface color underneath is not significantly altering the final appearance. Test spray in an inconspicuous area first.
