Autotek Fluorescent Paint is available in Pink, Yellow, Orange, Green & Blue. Directions: 1. Shake aerosol well for approximately 2 minutes. 2. Spray from a distance of 15-25cm away from the surface to be treated. Spray aerosol upside down for 2-5 seconds after each application to prevent blockages from forming in the nozzle. 3. Build up with several thin coats, allowing 10-20 minute intervals between coats. Paint should be touch dry in 10-20 minutes. 4. Leave to fully cure for 24 hours. Note: Only use outdoors or in a well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C-25°C. Use only as directed.

Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering
Ensure the can is shaken sufficiently before and during use. Clear the nozzle by spraying upside down for a few seconds after each application. If the nozzle is blocked, try soaking it in warm water and drying thoroughly.
Paint not adhering to the surface
Make sure the surface is properly cleaned, dried, and free from grease, oil, or dust. For difficult surfaces, a suitable primer might be necessary (check compatibility).
Poor color vibrancy
Ensure thin coats are applied evenly. Apply more thin coats if necessary, allowing adequate drying time between each. For best results, apply to a light or white primer.
Blockage in nozzle
After use, always invert the can and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the valve and nozzle. If blockage occurs, attempt to clear with warm water or a solvent recommended for spray paint nozzles.
