FAQs
Can I use this on all types of plastic?
While it is compatible with many plastics, a dedicated plastic primer is required. Always test a small, hidden area first to check for compatibility.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor furniture?
Yes, it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use and provides a durable, weather-resistant finish.
Do I need to sand the surface before painting?
Yes, lightly abrading smooth surfaces helps the enamel bond more effectively to the material.
How long should I wait between coats?
Due to the fast-drying formula, you can usually apply a second coat after 10-15 minutes, but refer to the specific label instructions for exact times based on temperature.
Can this be used on vehicle body parts?

Troubleshooting
The spray nozzle is clogging or sputtering.
Turn the can upside down and spray for 2-3 seconds to clear the internal tube, or soak the removable nozzle tip in mineral spirits.
Paint is running or forming drips.
You are applying too much paint in one area. Increase the distance from the object and apply thinner, lighter coats.
Paint is peeling off after drying.
The surface was likely contaminated with dust or grease. Strip the area, clean thoroughly with a degreaser, and re-prime before repainting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Clean the target surface thoroughly using a degreaser. Remove any loose paint or debris. For smooth or glossy surfaces, use fine-grit sandpaper to create a 'tooth' for better adhesion.
Priming: If working with plastic, apply a dedicated plastic primer first. Allow it to cure fully before applying the gold enamel.
Application: Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute before use. Hold the nozzle 20-30cm from the surface and spray in sweeping, uniform motions.
Care: Store the canister in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After use, turn the can upside down and spray for two seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging.
