FAQs
How long does it take for the paint to dry completely?
The paint is dry to the touch in approximately 15 minutes. For full curing and hardness, allow additional time, typically 24 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
Can I use this spray paint on fabric?
This spray paint is formulated for hard surfaces like wood, metal, and plastic. It is not recommended for use on fabric as it may become stiff and crack.
What is the coverage rate?
The average coverage rate is approximately 0.75m² per litre. Coverage can vary based on the surface porosity and application thickness.
Is this paint suitable for high-heat surfaces?
This paint is not designed for high-heat applications. For surfaces that reach high temperatures, a specialized high-heat paint is recommended.
How do I clean up the spray nozzle after use?
After you have finished spraying, turn the can upside down and press the nozzle for a few seconds until clear gas emerges. This prevents the nozzle from clogging.
Can I paint over this copper metallic paint later?
Yes, once fully dry and cured, this paint can generally be painted over with most other paint types, though a test patch is always recommended.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor furniture?
Yes, this paint is suitable for interior and exterior use and provides a durable finish that can withstand outdoor conditions when applied correctly.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or sputtering
Shake the can more vigorously. If the problem persists, the nozzle may be clogged. Invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear. If still clogged, try cleaning the nozzle with a solvent or replacing it.
Paint runs or sags
This usually occurs from applying paint too thickly or holding the can too close. Apply paint in lighter, thinner coats, maintaining the recommended distance from the surface. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Poor adhesion or chipping
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free of contaminants before application. Lightly sand glossy surfaces and use a primer if necessary, especially on plastic or previously painted surfaces. Ensure the can was shaken adequately.
Metallic flecks not aligned
Metallic paints require consistent application. Apply in steady, overlapping strokes, maintaining the same distance and speed. Avoid stopping mid-stroke. Ensure even coats.
