Tips for a great project

  • Always read specific can instructions to achieve maximum results.
  • A clean, dry surface is important. Follow these preparation tips for best results: Remove dirt, wax, grease, rust and loose paint. Sand or scrape, if necessary. Sand rusted, glossy or hard surfaces to improve adhesion.
  • Paint in good weather only. 55° to 75° F is ideal; 40 to 60% relative humidity is recommended. Avoid direct sunlight and hot, humid weather.
  • Observe the proper re-coat opportunities. Read the products directions for suggestions on when to apply a second coat. Example: Dupli-Color® lacquers can be re-coated anytime. Dupli-Color® enamels re-coat within 1 hour or wait till after 5 days.
  • Test a small surface area for paint compatibility.
  • A smooth, even application is important. Use an even, side-to-side motion with each pass beginning and ending beyond the edge of the object. Use a fan spray vs. regular spray distance to the object.
  • Take your time. Use 3 light coats vs. one thick coat. Always check recommended recoat time.
  • Avoid over spraying. Mask exposed areas with drop cloths. Clean up with appropriate cleaner-paint thinner or soap and water.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation.
