FAQs
What is the maximum temperature this paint can withstand?
The PlastiKote Trade High Temperature Spray Paint can withstand temperatures of up to 200°C.
What surfaces is this paint suitable for?
It is ideal for metal surfaces exposed to very high temperatures, such as boilers, pipework, and exhaust components.
How much area does one can cover?
One can provides coverage of approximately 1 to 1.75 square meters.
Can this paint be used on plastic or wood?
No, this paint is specifically designed for metal surfaces that experience high heat and is not suitable for plastics or wood.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity. It's generally touch-dry in a short period, but full curing for high-temperature resistance may take longer. Refer to the product can for specific drying times.
Is this paint resistant to petrol?
Yes, it offers resistance to petrol and other chemicals.
Do I need a primer before using this paint?
For best results and maximum adhesion on high-temperature surfaces, thorough preparation is recommended, which may include light abrasion. A dedicated high-temperature primer might be beneficial in extreme cases, but often direct application to a clean, prepared metal surface is sufficient.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or splattering
Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly and frequently during use. Hold the can at the recommended distance. Check the nozzle for blockages and clean if necessary.
Paint not adhering well
Verify the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and dried before application. Ensure the surface is suitable for high-temperature paint and has been lightly abraded if recommended.
Finish is dull or lacks gloss
Ensure consistent application technique. Apply in conditions recommended on the can (temperature, humidity). Some high-temperature paints may have a matte finish by design.
Canning nozzle clogged after use
After spraying, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If still blocked, remove the nozzle (carefully) and soak it in a solvent like white spirit, then rinse and dry before reattaching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is Key: For optimal performance, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and loose paint. Sand lightly if necessary and wipe clean.
Application: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Hold the can upright approximately 25-30cm from the surface. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Avoid applying in very cold, humid, or windy conditions.
Compatibility: This paint is specifically formulated for metal surfaces that experience high temperatures. It is not recommended for use on plastics, flexible materials, or surfaces not exposed to heat.
Care: Once fully cured, the painted surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, especially in the initial curing period.
