How do I get a neat edge and keep overspray to a minimum?

Use quality masking tape on clean, dry surfaces. Seal tape edges with a light first pass. Spray light, even coats and aim the fan just off the masked edge. Remove tape once the final coat has tacked off. Adjust the vari-nozzle to suit the area and reduce overspray.

Can I mix aerosols and tins on the same project?

Yes. Use the same colour/code and system, and test first. Blend on natural breaks such as trims or panel edges to hide texture differences. Keep gloss level consistent for a uniform finish.

Help! I’m seeing runs, orange peel or dry spray

Runs: too much paint or too close—allow to cure, de-nib/flat and recoat lightly. Orange peel: heavy coats or poor conditions—use lighter passes and maintain distance. Dry spray: too far away or windy—move closer (around 15–25 cm) and control airflow.

Trade Application Notes

British Standard 4800 - 04 E 53 is part of our British Standard 4800 Paint Colour Chart. Each order is mixed fresh using Lechler binders and colourants, so follow on orders are designed to sit neatly alongside earlier work for touch ins, snagging and small repairs.

Formats: 400 ml aerosols in 1K (ready to use), 2K (with integrated hardener) or 2K Air Dry, plus 1 litre tins, touch up pots and pens for fine detail and small areas.
Finishes: Matt, satin, semi gloss and full gloss options so you can match existing schemes, client specification or a particular maintenance schedule.
Surface preparation: For the best result we suggest degreasing, lightly abrading to a uniform key and carefully removing dust. Please choose a suitable primer for the substrate and environment.
Masking and protection: It is a good idea to protect nearby glazing, brickwork, signage and floor surfaces. Simple masking and sheeting can greatly reduce clean up time on busy sites.
Application control: The vari nozzle cap can be set to a wider or narrower fan pattern to suit the job. This helps with gentle edge control and can reduce unwanted overspray.
Overspray awareness: On external work it helps to think about wind direction and people passing close by. Temporary screens and a clear working zone can make application more relaxed.
Weather window: Choose a dry, clean surface and avoid conditions where rain or condensation are likely. Please follow the temperature and humidity guidance in the product data sheet.
Recoat and curing: Several lighter coats with the recommended flash off time usually give a smoother, more even finish. Allow time for full cure before any heavy cleaning or handling.
2K products: 2K materials are for professional use and are best applied with suitable PPE and good ventilation. Mix carefully, respect pot life and dispose of any waste responsibly.
Equipment: Aerosol cans will usually perform better if kept at room temperature and shaken well before use. Tins can be applied using compliant spray equipment or with a fine foam roller and brush for edges.
Coverage and appearance: Gentle, even passes allow the colour and sheen to build gradually, helping to avoid runs, dry spray patches and patchy gloss levels.
Aftercare: Once coated, try to keep the surface free from tape pull, impact and aggressive wash down until the coating has had time to harden. Simple, mild cleaning products are usually sufficient.
Repeat orders: Batch information can be recorded so that future top ups can be mixed to the same colour and finish, helping return visits feel calm and predictable.

When paired with the correct primer this system can be suitable for many common substrates, including metal, correctly prepared plastics and timber. The aim is a smooth, reliable finish with good adhesion and stable colour under normal service conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use good quality masking tape and clean, dry surfaces before taping.
Seal tape edges with a light first pass to prevent bleed.
Spray light, even coats; aim the fan just off the masked edge rather than into it.
Remove tape carefully once the final coat has tacked off.
Switch our vari-nozzle between wide/narrow to suit the area and reduce overspray.

Aim for a mild, dry day with good airflow. Avoid very cold, hot or humid conditions, which can slow drying or cause defects. Always test on a small area first.

Yes—use the same colour/code and system (1K/2K) and test first. Blending on natural breaks (edges, trims, panels) helps hide any texture differences. Keep gloss level consistent for a uniform look.

Runs: Too much paint or spraying too close. Let it cure, then de-nib/flat and recoat lightly.
Orange peel: Heavy coats or poor conditions. Use lighter passes and maintain steady distance.
Dry spray: Too far away or windy. Move closer (within 15–25 cm) and improve airflow control.

Store upright in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Clear the nozzle after use with a short burst. For best results, use within 12 months.

Yes—tester pots are available on many colours. Check the Size selector for current options before you commit to larger quantities.

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.
