FAQs

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint is touch dry in approximately 1 hour, but requires 24 hours for full drying. Full hardness and maximum durability may take longer depending on conditions.

Can I use this on fabric?

This product is designed for hard surfaces like wood, metal, and plastic. It is not recommended for use on fabric.

How much area does one can cover?

One 400ml can covers approximately 2 square meters per litre, which translates to roughly 0.8 square meters for a 400ml can, depending on application thickness.

Is this paint suitable for high-heat applications?

This product is not specifically designed for high-heat applications. For items exposed to extreme temperatures, a specialized high-heat paint should be used.

Can I paint over existing paint?

Yes, provided the existing paint is sound and well-adhered. Clean the surface thoroughly and lightly sand any glossy areas to ensure maximum adhesion of the new coat.

What kind of finish does the Brown Hammered provide?

It provides a distinctive textured hammered effect, giving a slightly raised, irregular pattern that adds depth and character to the surface.

Can I clean the painted surface easily?

Once fully cured, the painted surface can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or sputtering

Shake the can more vigorously. If the nozzle is clogged, remove it and soak it in a suitable solvent (like mineral spirits), then clean with a fine pin and reattach. Ensure the can is held upright during spraying.

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared. It must be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or rust. Lightly sanding glossy surfaces can improve adhesion. For some plastics, a primer may be necessary.

Runs or drips occur

Apply paint in lighter, more numerous coats rather than one heavy coat. Maintain a consistent distance and speed while spraying. Remove any large drips carefully with a brush before they dry.

Coverage seems insufficient

Ensure you are applying thin, even coats. Overlap each pass slightly. If needed, apply an additional coat after allowing the previous one to dry for at least an hour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and loose material. For best results on glossy surfaces, lightly sand to create a key.
  2. Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle.
  3. Hold the can upright, approximately 25-30cm from the surface.
  4. Apply paint in light, even coats, using a steady sweeping motion. Avoid applying too thickly.
  5. Allow at least 1 hour between coats.

Compatibility:

This paint is designed for use on a wide variety of surfaces including wood, metal, plastic, masonry, ceramic, and more. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on plastics, to ensure compatibility and desired results.

Care:

Once fully cured (allow 24 hours for initial drying, longer for full hardness), the surface can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. For exterior applications, regularly check for any signs of wear or damage and touch up as needed.
