After use, turn the can upside down and spray for around 3-5 seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent blockages when used next.

Ensure you read the complete instructions and familiarise yourself with each step.

Ensure you have all consumables needed to hand before starting the process.

Preparing for Paint

Firstly, clean the plastic with a lint free cloth and a suitable surface cleaner/ degreaser.Any bumper gels, colour enhancing products, and silicones must be removed from the bumper as these products will create adhesion issues with the paint.

Ensure that the surface is solid and smooth by repairing any damage by suitable means and if necessary filling and sanding the area with the correct dry sanding abrasives if required. Work up in stages from P80, P180, P320 to a final P500 sand to remove the previous sanding marks in that process.

If no repairs are required, key the surface with P600 abrasive so that the paint can bond to the plastic surface.

Once the area is fully prepared, take a tack cloth and remove any dust and contaminants on the panel. If required, mask off any areas not to be painted with a quality masking tape and masking paper or roll.

Colour Painting

Shake the can for 2 minutes once the agitator ball inside is heard and apply a first thin coat to give best possible adhesion. Hold the Can around 25-30cm from the panel, press the nozzle and move the can in a smooth side-to-side motion.

Allowing time in-between coats, slowly build up the layers of paint until a uniform thickness and coverage is achieved (2-3 coats).

Allow paint to completely harden following the time guide on the can.

CAUTIONS

*The drying time can change depending on the ambient temperature, humidity and the thickness of the coats applied. Ensure the paint is fully dry before moving onto the next stage.

Take care when preparing older paint surfaces (Pre 1970) as these may contain harmful Lead.

Ensure ventilation is adequate in the area you are painting in to prevent harmful build-up of solvent gasses.
