Directions for use:
 
Preparation:

  • To achieve the best result always prepare the surface thoroughly.
  • Do not spray into base metal, always use a primer.
  • The last preparation stage before painting is to rub down the area with fine wet and dry abrasive paper.
  • The surface must be free from dust and grease.
  • Clean with warm water and detergent, rinse, then dry thoroughly.
  • Protect surrounding areas using paper and masking tape.
Application:
  • Ensure the can is at room temperature before use.
  • For best results spray in warm, dry, dust free and windless conditions.
  • Avoid spraying in cold, damp or humid weather, or in direct sunshine as the panels may be very hot.
  • Shake the can vigorously for 2 minutes once the agitator ball is heard to rattle, this will ensure the contents are mixed thoroughly to give the best results and colour match.
  • Spray briefly on an inconspicuous area or test material (card or paper) to check the colour. 
  • Spray with the can approximately 25cm (10 in) from the surface using a smooth side to side motion.
  • Build up the colour with several thin coats.
  • Between coats allow approximately 15 minutes for the paint to become touch-dry.
  • Shake the can between coats

  • After use turn the can upside down and spray until the nozzle is clear, or, alternatively, remove the nozzle and soak in thinners.

  • Always allow new paintwork to dry and harden for at least 2 weeks before using a rubbing compound on overspray to blend in new paintwork.
  • Do not use rubbing compound on metallic or pearlescent paints that have not been oversprayed with lacquer. 
  • Clear lacquer must be used on metallic or pearlescent paints to achieve the best colour match.
  • Allow 24 hours for the paint to dry, rub the area down and then apply a clear lacquer.

The paint is colour matched to the original standards used at the time the vehicle was manufacturer. However, car paints are susceptible to ageing, oxidation and colour fade. Therefore, a perfect colour match cannot always be guaranteed. Whilst ideal for repairs these aerosols are not intended for  spraying an entire vehicle. 

**Always test on an inconspicuous area.
