Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best outcome, follow these guidelines for application:
- Surface Prep: Remove all traces of oil, grease, and loose rust using an automotive degreaser. The surface must be completely dry.
- Masking: Use automotive masking tape to cover sensors, hoses, and electrical connectors that should not be painted.
- Application: Apply in a well-ventilated area. Shake the container thoroughly before use.
- Curing: Allow the paint to air dry for the recommended time before starting the engine. Initial heat cycles will help 'bake' the finish, hardening the lacquer into its final protective state.
- Maintenance: Periodically wipe down with a dry cloth; the matte finish is resistant to most engine bay contaminants.
