FAQs

Can I use this on plastic surfaces?

Yes, this paint is designed to be universal and is compatible with plastic, provided the surface is clean and dry.

Is it safe to use indoors?

You must use this product in a well-ventilated area to ensure fumes do not accumulate.

Do I need to sand the surface before painting?

For the best adhesion and appearance, sanding the substrate is highly recommended, especially on smooth or previously painted surfaces.

How many coats should I apply?

Several controlled, thin coats provide a much more even and professional result than one heavy application.

Is this paint suitable for exterior metal?

Yes, it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, making it ideal for metal components.

Troubleshooting

Paint is running or sagging

You are applying too much paint in one area. Apply thinner coats and increase the distance between the nozzle and the surface.

Paint is peeling shortly after application

This is usually due to improper surface preparation. Ensure the item is free of grease, dust, or wax before painting.

Spray nozzle is clogged

Remove the nozzle and soak it in paint thinner, or turn the can upside down and press the nozzle to clear residual paint from the tube.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful application, follow these guidelines:

  1. Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any contaminants. If the surface is glossy, lightly sand it to improve mechanical adhesion.
  2. Priming: Depending on the material, apply a suitable primer to ensure the enamel adheres correctly.
  3. Application: Shake the can vigorously before use. Spray from a distance of approximately 20-30cm in a well-ventilated environment.
  4. Drying: Allow adequate drying time between coats.
  5. Maintenance: Keep the nozzle clear by turning the can upside down and spraying for a second after finishing your project to clear the internal valve.
