Frequently Asked Questions

British Standard 3-042 Aerosol Spray Paint is a custom-mixed aerosol spray paint colour from our British Standard 2660 Paint chart. It’s supplied in 400 ml 1K or 2K aerosols (2K has a built-in hardener), litre tins, plus touch-up pots/pens. Choose finishes from Matt 0% to Full Gloss 90%.

Yes—prepare properly and use the right primer for each substrate:

  • Plastics/uPVC: use a plastic adhesion primer (see our plastic primer).
  • Metals: use metal/etch primers; protect bare steel promptly.
  • Wood: seal/prime to prevent absorption and improve adhesion.
  • Glass/Fibreglass: use dedicated glass/fibreglass primers.

2K aerosols include a hardener for superior chemical and abrasion resistance—ideal for high-traffic or demanding environments. 1K is convenient and great for lighter-duty tasks or quick repairs.

Note: 2K aerosols are supplied as Acrylic Enamel only.

As a guide, a 400 ml aerosol covers up to ~2 m² per coat on a smooth, primed surface. Most projects look best with 2–4 coats, depending on colour, surface profile and what you’re covering.

  • 1K: Recoat after ~10–15 mins; typical cure ~30 mins (conditions dependent).
  • 2K: Recoat ~20–30 mins; touch-dry ~40 mins; full cure 24–48 hrs.

Temperature/humidity affect results—always test first.

Yes—prep correctly and consider add-ons for longevity:

  • UV Protection: helps maintain colour on sun-exposed surfaces.
  • High-Resistance package: extra toughness for coastal or high-wear areas.

Spray in a mild, dry environment—ideally 10–25 °C with low humidity and steady airflow. Avoid very cold, hot or damp conditions which can slow drying or cause defects.

For safety and handling, see our data sheets: 1K · 2K/2K Air-Dry.

Please note: our paint is custom mixed and should be test-sprayed on a small, inconspicuous area before full application. We cannot accept responsibility for any colour difference once paint has been applied to your surfaces. If the colour is not accurate, please contact us to arrange a return.
