4. Operating Instructions (Application)
Before You Spray:
- Shake the can vigorously for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Continue to shake occasionally during use.
- Test spray on a scrap piece of material to check color and spray pattern.
Application Technique:
- Hold the can upright 10-16 inches from the surface.
- Press the spray button firmly and move the can back and forth in a steady motion, slightly overlapping each stroke.
- For best results, apply two or more light coats a few minutes apart rather than one heavy coat. This helps prevent drips and runs.
- The Turbo Spray System provides a wide fan pattern, allowing for faster coverage of large areas. Adjust your movement speed to achieve even coverage.

6. Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions:
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sputtering or Uneven Spray | Insufficient shaking, clogged nozzle, low can pressure. | Shake can vigorously for at least one minute before use and occasionally during application. Invert can and spray to clear nozzle. Ensure can is not too cold. |
| Drips or Runs | Spraying too close to the surface, applying too heavy a coat, moving the can too slowly. | Maintain a distance of 10-16 inches. Apply several light coats instead of one heavy coat. Move the can at a consistent, steady pace. |
| Poor Coverage | Spraying too far from the surface, moving the can too quickly. | Adjust spraying distance to 10-16 inches. Slow down movement slightly to ensure adequate paint deposition. |
| Wrinkling of Paint | Recoating between 1 and 48 hours. | Ensure recoating occurs within 1 hour or after 48 hours to avoid wrinkling. |
