Setup and Preparation

1. Surface Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the surface to be painted with a suitable wax and grease remover. Ensure the surface is free of dirt, oil, wax, and other contaminants.
2. Surface Preparation: For optimal adhesion, lightly abrade smooth surfaces with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 400-600 grit wet/dry) or a scuff pad. Re-clean the abraded surface to remove any dust.
3. Masking: Mask off any areas not intended for painting using painter's tape and masking paper or plastic.
4. Environmental Conditions: Ensure the application area is well-ventilated. Apply paint in a temperature range of 50°F to 85°F (10°C to 29°C) and moderate humidity. Avoid direct sunlight or extremely humid conditions.
5. Test Spray: Always perform a test spray on an inconspicuous area or a test panel to verify color match and adhesion before applying to the main surface.

Operating Instructions (Application)

1. Shake Can: Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Continue to shake occasionally during application.
2. Application Technique: Hold the can approximately 8-10 inches (20-25 cm) from the surface. Apply light, even coats using a steady, sweeping motion. Overlap each pass slightly for uniform coverage.
3. Multiple Coats: Apply 2-3 light coats to achieve desired color and coverage. Allow sufficient flash-off time between coats (typically 5-10 minutes, or until the surface is tacky but not wet).
4. Drying Time: The paint will be dry to the touch within an hour. For full cure and maximum durability, allow 24 hours. Avoid handling or exposing the painted surface to moisture during the curing process.

Maintenance and Storage

• Can Clean-up: After each use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds until only clear propellant comes out. This prevents the nozzle from clogging. Wipe the nozzle clean.
• Storage: Store the aerosol can in a cool, dry place between 50°F and 85°F (10°C and 29°C). Do not store in direct sunlight or where temperatures may exceed 120°F (49°C).
• Disposal: Dispose of empty cans or unused product according to local hazardous waste regulations.
