Safety Information

WARNING: This product is highly flammable and contains propellants. Read all safety instructions on the can before use.

• Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhaling vapors.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection.
• Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources. No smoking.
• Do not pierce or burn, even after use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulations.

Setup

Surface Preparation

• Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, and loose rust.
• For optimal adhesion and corrosion protection, lightly sand smooth surfaces.
• Remove any existing loose paint or rust with a wire brush or sandpaper.
• Mask off areas not intended for painting.

Can Preparation

• Shake the can vigorously for at least 2 minutes after the mixing ball begins to rattle. This ensures proper mixing of pigments and binders.
• Test spray on an inconspicuous area or scrap material to check color and spray pattern.

Operating (Application)

1. Hold the can upright approximately 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) from the surface.
2. Apply the paint in thin, even coats using a steady, sweeping motion.
3. Avoid applying thick coats to prevent drips and runs.
4. Allow each coat to dry for 5-10 minutes before applying the next. Multiple thin coats provide a more durable and even finish than one thick coat.
5. For best results, apply 2-3 coats.
6. After use, invert the can and spray until only clear propellant comes out. This cleans the nozzle and prevents clogging for future use.

Drying Time: Touch dry in approximately 15-20 minutes. Fully dry in 24 hours. Curing time may vary depending on temperature and humidity.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Clean the spray nozzle after each use by inverting the can and spraying until clear propellant is emitted.
• If the nozzle becomes clogged, remove it and clean it with a thin wire or solvent. Do not use sharp objects that could damage the nozzle.

Storage

• Store the can in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and temperatures above 50°C (122°F).
• Ensure the cap is securely replaced after use to prevent accidental discharge or drying of the nozzle.

Troubleshooting

• Uneven Spray Pattern:

  Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly before and during use. Check if the nozzle is clean and not partially blocked. Maintain a consistent distance from the surface.

• Drips or Runs:

  This usually occurs from applying too much paint in one coat or holding the can too close to the surface. Apply thinner, multiple coats.

• Clogged Nozzle:

  Clean the nozzle immediately after use by inverting the can and spraying until clear. If already clogged, remove and clean with a solvent or thin wire.
• Poor Adhesion:

  Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared, free from grease, oil, or loose particles. Sanding smooth surfaces can improve adhesion.
