FAQs
What is the drying time for this spray paint?
The paint requires 24 hours for drying. Allow this time for the finish to cure properly.
How much area does one can cover?
On average, one 400ml can covers approximately 2 square meters (or 21.5 square feet) per litre.
Can I use this paint on plastic?
Yes, this is an 'All-Surface' spray paint and is suitable for use on most types of plastic, provided the surface is clean and dry.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is designed for both interior and exterior use and offers fade and chip resistance.
How should I clean the spray nozzle after use?
Immediately after use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds until only clear propellant is released. This prevents the nozzle from clogging.
What are the recommended surface preparation steps?
The surface should be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and rust. For glossy surfaces, light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion.
Does this paint prevent rust?
Yes, the paint contains rust-preventative properties, making it a good choice for metal items.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or sputtering
Shake the can more vigorously for a longer period. Ensure the nozzle is clean and clear of debris. Try turning the can upside down and spraying briefly to clear any blockages.
Paint not adhering to the surface
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dried, and free of contaminants like grease or dust. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before painting. Check if the surface is compatible with the paint; test on a small area first.
Runs or drips in the paint finish
Apply paint in thinner coats from the recommended distance (10-16 inches). Avoid applying too much paint in one pass. If drips occur, allow to dry fully, then gently sand them smooth and reapply a thin coat.
Can does not spray
Confirm the nozzle is properly attached and not clogged. Shake the can well. Ensure the actuator button is pressed firmly. If the nozzle is blocked, try cleaning it with a solvent-soaked cloth (while the can is upside down) and re-attempt to spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle.
- Hold the can upright, approximately 10-16 inches from the surface.
- Spray in smooth, even strokes, moving the can back and forth. Use the 360° nozzle for any-angle application.
- Allow 24 hours for drying. For best results, apply multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat.
