FAQs

What surfaces can I use MaxiColor Spray Gloss on?

MaxiColor Spray Gloss is suitable for use on treated and untreated wood, metal, aluminium, glass, stone, and plastic.

Is MaxiColor suitable for outdoor use?

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

How many coats of paint should I apply?

Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. The number of coats needed will depend on the surface and desired coverage.

How long does it take for MaxiColor to dry?

Drying times vary depending on environmental conditions (temperature and humidity), but it typically dries to the touch within a few minutes. Allow several hours for complete drying and curing.

How do I clean the spray nozzle?

After each use, turn the can upside down and spray until only propellant comes out. If the nozzle clogs, soak it in a solvent or replace it.

Do I need to use a primer?

Using a primer is recommended, especially on metal surfaces, to promote adhesion and prevent rust.

Can I use MaxiColor on plastic?

Yes, but it's recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.

What is the shelf life of MaxiColor Spray Gloss?

Unopened cans of MaxiColor Spray Gloss typically have a shelf life of several years if stored properly in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

Paint is running or dripping.

Apply thinner coats and ensure you are holding the can the correct distance from the surface. Avoid over-applying paint.

Poor adhesion or flaking.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and sanded) before painting. Use a primer on metal surfaces.

Uneven finish or color.

Shake the can well before use and apply thin, even coats. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Clogged nozzle.

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

Paint not drying properly.

Ensure the working environment is well-ventilated and that the temperature and humidity are within the recommended range. Allow sufficient drying time.
