FAQs
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times can vary based on temperature, humidity, and application thickness. Generally, it is touch-dry within 15-30 minutes and fully cured within 24 hours.
Can I spray this on plastic?
While it can be used on some plastics, it is recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first. For best results on plastics, a specific plastic primer may be beneficial.
How do I clean the nozzle if it gets clogged?
After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If it remains blocked, a fine needle can be used carefully to clear the opening. Do not puncture the can.
Is this paint suitable for high-heat surfaces?
This paint is designed for general interior and exterior use and is not specifically formulated for high-heat applications. For high-heat areas, a specialized high-temperature paint is recommended.
What is the coverage rate?
Coverage varies depending on the surface porosity and application technique. A 400ml can typically covers approximately 1-2 square meters (10-20 square feet) with a single coat.
Can I paint over existing paint?
Yes, you can paint over existing paint, provided the old paint is sound and the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and lightly abraded if necessary for adhesion).
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or spitting
Shake the can more vigorously for a longer period. Ensure the nozzle is not blocked. If blockage persists, try cleaning it with a fine needle or replacing the can.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free of grease/rust) and that adequate drying time was allowed between coats. The surface may be incompatible; test on a small area first.
Paint runs or sags
Applied coats were too thick. Reduce the amount of paint applied per coat and increase the distance from the surface. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Metallic finish looks inconsistent
Ensure even application distance and speed. Metallic particles can settle; shake can frequently during use. Apply in good lighting conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Test spray on a scrap surface to ensure proper function and color. Hold the can upright, approximately 25-30 cm (10-12 inches) from the surface.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on most prepared surfaces including metal, wood, and some plastics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first to check for adhesion and compatibility. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and rust before application.
Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. Clean up any spills or overspray immediately with a suitable solvent or cleaner before the paint dries.
