Which product should I use for my project?

Choose a product based on the surface, finish and conditions described on its product page. If you are unsure, contact us before ordering.

Do I need to use a primer?

A primer can improve adhesion, coverage and durability, especially on bare, porous, glossy or difficult surfaces. Check the product instructions for preparation guidance.

How should I prepare the surface?

Make sure the surface is clean, dry and free from grease, dust and loose material. Lightly abrade glossy surfaces where appropriate and follow the label instructions.

How many coats should I apply?

Several light coats generally provide a better finish than one heavy coat. Allow the recommended drying time between coats and follow the instructions on the product.

Can I use these products outdoors?

Only use a product outdoors when its label or product description confirms it is suitable. Apply in suitable weather conditions with good ventilation.

How should I store aerosol products?

Store aerosols upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from heat, flames and direct sunlight. Always follow the safety information on the label.
