FAQs
How long does it take to be touch dry?
The paint is touch dry in approximately 10 minutes under normal conditions.
What surfaces can I use this spray paint on?
It is suitable for metal, wood, plastic, and other compatible surfaces. Always test on a small, hidden area first, especially on plastics.
How much area will one can cover?
One 400ml can typically covers between 1 and 1.75 square meters, depending on the application thickness and surface porosity.
Can I use this paint outdoors?
Yes, the paint offers good durability and resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use, provided the surface is properly prepared and protected.
What is the best way to clean the spray nozzle if it gets clogged?
After use, always invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If it becomes clogged, you can try soaking the nozzle in a solvent like white spirit.
Does this paint offer protection against rust?
While it provides a durable and resistant finish, for surfaces prone to rust, it is recommended to use a dedicated metal primer first to ensure maximum protection.
What is the recommended application temperature?
It is best applied in temperatures between 10°C and 25°C. Avoid applying in damp or very cold conditions.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or sputtering
Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is clear by spraying upside down for a few seconds. If the problem persists, the can may be faulty.
Paint runs or drips
Apply paint in lighter, more numerous coats. Reduce the distance between the can and the surface, or increase the speed of your passes. Ensure you are not applying too much paint in one go.
Poor adhesion or chipping
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free of grease/rust) and that an appropriate primer was used if necessary. Ensure the surface was lightly sanded if it was glossy.
Nozzle clog after use
Immediately after use, turn the can upside down and spray for 2-3 seconds to clear the nozzle. If already clogged, try soaking the nozzle in a suitable solvent (like white spirit) for a short period.
