Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or splattering
Ensure the can is shaken sufficiently before and during use. Hold the can at the recommended distance and use light, even strokes. If the nozzle is blocked, clear it by removing and soaking in a suitable solvent, or replace the can.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Verify that the surface was properly cleaned and prepared (free from dust, grease, etc.). Ensure the surface was lightly sanded if it was glossy. Apply in a well-ventilated area and allow adequate drying time between coats.
Finish is not as reflective as expected
Ensure the can was shaken thoroughly for the recommended duration. Apply in thin, even coats. Multiple thin coats often build better reflectivity than one thick coat.
Runs or drips appear on the surface
Apply the paint in lighter coats. Hold the can at the correct distance and use a steady, sweeping motion. If runs occur, allow them to dry completely, then gently sand them down and reapply in thin coats.
