Troubleshooting

Paint is running or sagging during application

Apply thinner, lighter coats rather than one heavy layer, allowing time for the paint to dry between passes.

Paint is flaking or peeling after a short time

The surface was likely not cleaned or degreased properly; ensure the metal is free of all contaminants before reapplying.

The finish is dull or uneven

Ensure you are applying in temperatures of 18°C or higher and that the aerosol can is shaken thoroughly before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
