What is the coverage of one can?

How do I prepare the surface before spraying?

How should I clean up after using the spray?

What is the best distance to spray from?
Hold the can upright, about 25-30cm away from the surface, and spray in smooth, even strokes.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or patchy coverage
Ensure the can was shaken thoroughly before and during use. Apply multiple thin, even coats from the recommended distance instead of one heavy coat.
Paint is dripping or running
The can is likely held too close to the surface, or too much paint is being applied in one go. Maintain a consistent distance and use lighter, overlapping strokes. Allow coats to become touch dry before applying further coats if needed.
Nozzle is clogged
Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If still clogged, remove the nozzle and soak it in a suitable solvent (e.g., paint thinner or acetone), then clear the opening with a fine pin. Ensure the nozzle is dry before reattaching.
Paint not adhering to surface
Ensure the surface is properly prepared: clean, dry, and free from contaminants like oil or dust. Lightly sanding glossy surfaces can improve adhesion. Test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.
