FAQs

What surfaces can I use this spray paint on?

This spray paint is designed for multi-surface use, including wood, metal, plastic, masonry, and laminate. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on plastics.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint dries to the touch relatively quickly, but allow 24 hours for the paint to fully cure and harden.

How do I achieve the best finish?

Shake the can well before and during use, hold it at the recommended distance (10-12 inches), and apply in light, even coats with a steady motion. Overlap each stroke slightly.

Can this paint be used outdoors?

Yes, the formulation is suitable for both interior and exterior use, providing a durable finish.

What is the coverage of one can?

The coverage is approximately 2m² per litre, but this can vary depending on the surface and application thickness.

How should I clean the spray nozzle if it gets blocked?

After use, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-3 seconds to clear the nozzle. If a blockage occurs, carefully remove the nozzle and clean it with a suitable solvent, following instructions on the can.

Does this paint come in other colours and finishes?

Yes, the Painter's Touch range is available in 42 colours and various finishes, including gloss, satin, and matt.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or sputtering

Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked. If blocked, remove and clean with a solvent (follow can instructions for nozzle cleaning). Test on scrap material.

Paint runs or drips

You are likely applying the paint too heavily or holding the can too close. Apply in lighter, thinner coats and maintain the recommended distance from the surface.

Poor adhesion or peeling

The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Glossy surfaces may require light sanding for better grip.

Inconsistent colour finish

Ensure consistent can shaking between coats and maintain an even application distance. Use sufficient light coats rather than one heavy coat.
