What are the drying times for aerosols

1K aerosol paint takes around 30 minutes to cure completely. 2K aerosol is typically touch-dry in about 40 minutes and reaches a full cure in 24–48 hours depending on temperature and humidity.

What sort of coverage can I expect?

A 400ml aerosol typically covers up to approximately 2 m² per coat, depending on colour, surface profile and preparation.

How many coats do you recommend?

For best results, apply 2–4 coats depending on the colour chosen, the existing colour being covered and the surface material.

Do I have to use a primer before applying a topcoat?

We strongly recommend using the correct primer for the substrate (e.g., glass, fibreglass, plastics). See our primers page and plastic primer for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

1K Aerosol paint takes around 30 minutes to cure completely.

The time it takes for a 2K aerosol to touch dry in 40 minutes. To dry out thoroughly is 24-48 hours depending on the conditions the paint is used in, for example, it will take longer to fully cure if applied outside in colder or damper conditions as opposed to a hot summer's day.

You can expect to be able to coat roughly 2 square meters in a single coat using a 400ml aerosol.

For best results, we recommend 2-4 coats depending on the colour chosen, existing colour to be re top coated and surface material to be sprayed.

We highly recommend the use of a primer for almost all your painting plans, we stock and supply the correct primers necessary for the surface material, example glass primers, fibreglass primers and plastic primers. When choosing a primer, it is essential to select the proper primer for the surface material you plan to apply the topcoat.

Please note – Our aerosol cans, litre tins and touch up and repair pots/pens are custom mixed and should be tested before application. We do not take responsibility for any colour difference once you have applied the paint to your surfaces. If the colour is not accurate, please contact us to arrange a return.
