Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or drips
Shake the can more frequently during use. Ensure you are holding the can at the correct distance (6-10 inches) and applying thin, even coats. Avoid spraying in windy conditions.
Coating peeling or not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dried, and free of contaminants before application. Lightly scuffing smooth surfaces can improve adhesion. Ensure adequate coats were applied.
Product not spraying properly
Shake the can thoroughly. If the nozzle is clogged, carefully try to clear it with a pin or by soaking the nozzle in solvent (ensure can is sealed afterward if not in use).
Color appears dull or faded
This can occur due to insufficient coats or exposure to harsh UV light over time. Apply additional coats for a richer color and consider a Plasti Dip top coat for enhanced UV protection.
