FAQs
Can I use this paint on car parts?
While compatible with metal, this paint is a decorative finish and may not be suitable for automotive applications requiring high durability or specific resistance to fuels and extreme temperatures. Test on a spare part if attempting.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times vary with temperature, humidity, and application thickness. Typically, it is touch-dry in 10-15 minutes and fully cured in 24 hours. Allow longer curing time for maximum durability.
Can I paint over existing paint?
Yes, provided the existing paint is sound, clean, and degreased. Lightly sanding glossy or old finishes can improve adhesion.
What is the best way to achieve a smooth finish?
Apply multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat. Maintain a consistent distance (around 20-30 cm) and sweep the can steadily across the surface in overlapping strokes.
Is this paint suitable for food contact surfaces?
No, this product is not intended for surfaces that will come into direct contact with food.
How many square meters can one can cover?
Coverage varies depending on the surface and application thickness, but typically one 400ml can covers approximately 1.5 to 2 square meters with two coats.
Can I use this paint on radiators?
For radiators, it is recommended to use heat-resistant spray paint specifically designed for this purpose. Standard spray paints may not withstand the continuous heat.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or splattering
Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Try holding the can at a consistent distance and moving at a steady pace.
Paint runs or drips
Apply paint in lighter, thinner coats. Reduce the distance between the can and the surface, or reduce the speed of your pass. Do not apply too heavily in one go.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from contaminants before painting. Consider applying a suitable primer if painting on a difficult surface.
Nozzle clogging
After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If clogged, remove the nozzle and soak it in a suitable solvent (e.g., cellulose thinners), then rinse and dry before reattaching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. For non-porous surfaces like metal or glass, a primer may enhance adhesion. For wood, ensure it is sanded and free of old finishes if necessary.
- Environment: Use in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Protect surrounding areas with drop cloths.
- Shake Can: Shake the spray can vigorously for at least 2 minutes after the mixing ball begins to rattle. This ensures proper pigment dispersion.
Compatibility:
MaxiColor Spray Gloss is compatible with treated and untreated wood, metal, aluminium, glass, stone, and most plastics. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on plastics, to confirm adhesion and avoid material damage.
Care:
- Allow the paint to cure fully before exposing it to heavy use or harsh cleaning.
- Clean painted surfaces gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the gloss finish.
