Troubleshooting
Paint is running or dripping
You are likely holding the can too close or applying the paint too heavily. Use lighter, multiple coats instead of one thick coat.
Poor adhesion to plastic surfaces
Ensure the plastic surface was cleaned with a degreaser and consider applying a dedicated plastic primer before the enamel.
Finish looks dull or uneven
The surface may not have been properly abraded or cleaned. Ensure all glossy surfaces are lightly sanded and free of dust before starting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, start by ensuring the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of any grease or debris. If the surface is already glossy, lightly sand or abrade it to create a mechanical bond for the paint.
- Surface Prep: Clean the item thoroughly with a degreaser.
- Priming: While the paint works on many surfaces, use a dedicated primer if you are working with difficult-to-bond plastics.
- Application: Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute. Hold the can 20-30cm from the surface and spray in a consistent motion.
- Testing: Always perform a small test spray on a hidden area to verify color and surface compatibility before committing to the full piece.
