FAQs
How long does it take to dry?
PlastiKote Metal Protekt Spray typically dries to touch within 15-20 minutes and is fully dry and ready for recoating or handling within 1-2 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
Can I use this on aluminum or galvanized metal?
Yes, it can be used on aluminum and galvanized metal after proper surface preparation, which may include cleaning and light sanding. For galvanized metal, ensure it is clean and free from oil or grease.
What is the best way to 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 becomes clogged during use, remove the nozzle and soak it in a solvent like lacquer thinner or acetone, then clear the aperture with a fine pin. Reattach only when dry.
How many coats should I apply?
It is recommended to apply 2-3 thin, even coats for optimal protection and finish. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the product instructions.
Does this product prevent rust or just cover it?
This product is designed to provide durable protection against rust and corrosion by forming a barrier on the metal surface. For existing rust, it's best to remove as much as possible before application.
Can I paint over this spray later?
Yes, once fully cured, PlastiKote Metal Protekt Spray can be painted over with most suitable paints. Ensure the surface is clean and lightly abraded for best adhesion of the topcoat.
What is the MPN for the Black version?
The MPN for the PlastiKote Metal Protekt Spray in Black is 440.0001282.076.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or sputtering
Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged; if it is, clear it with a fine pin or wipe with a solvent-soaked cloth after removing the nozzle. Check the temperature; performance is best between 15-25°C.
Runs or drips
Apply in thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Hold the can at a consistent distance (25-30 cm) from the surface. Avoid spraying in windy conditions.
Poor adhesion or peeling
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from rust or grease. Consider applying a suitable metal primer before the Metal Protekt spray.
Color mismatch
Ensure you are using the correct product code and color. Check the can for the exact color family and finish. For repairs, try to find the exact same product batch if possible.
