Is it suitable for metal, plastic, wood and uPVC?

Yes, with proper preparation and the correct primer for each substrate. Use plastic adhesion primers for plastics/uPVC, metal or etch primers for metals, sealing/priming for wood, and dedicated primers for glass or fibreglass.

How much will I need (coverage & coats)?

As a guide, a 400 ml aerosol covers up to approximately 2 m² per coat on a smooth, primed surface. Most projects need 2–4 coats depending on colour, surface profile and what is being covered.

How long does it take to dry and fully cure?

For 1K, recoat after about 10–15 minutes; typical cure is around 30 minutes depending on conditions. For 2K, recoat after about 20–30 minutes; touch-dry is roughly 40 minutes and full cure is usually 24–48 hours.

Can I use it outdoors and will the colour fade?

Yes, provided correct preparation and priming. Add UV Protection to help maintain colour on sun-exposed surfaces and consider a High-Resistance package for coastal or high-wear areas.

Trade Application Notes

Pantone 491 sits within our Pantone C Paint Colour Chart, mixed fresh to order using Lechler binders and colourants. The system is designed so that aerosols and tins can be ordered again later for touch ins, snagging and follow on visits without the colour drifting.

Formats: 400 ml aerosols available in 1K (ready to use) and full 2K, plus our 2K Air Dry option. 2K Air Dry gives you two pack performance that cures in air, at a gentler price point than traditional 2K, which many contractors find ideal for day to day work. We also offer 1 litre tins, touch up pots and touch up pens for detail areas.
Finishes: A choice of matt, satin, semi gloss and full gloss so you can mirror existing schemes or meet a specific client brief and maintenance plan.
Surface preparation: For the most reliable result we recommend degreasing, lightly abrading to a uniform key and carefully removing dust. Please select a primer that suits both the substrate and the environment.
Masking and protection: Nearby glass, brickwork, signage and ground surfaces benefit from simple masking and sheeting. This keeps overspray under control and helps reduce clean up time.
Application control: The vari nozzle cap can be adjusted to a wider or narrower fan pattern. This makes it easier to work up to edges, manage tight areas and keep overspray to a minimum.
Overspray awareness: On external projects it helps to think about wind direction and foot traffic. Temporary screens and a clear working zone make application calmer on live sites.
Weather window: Apply to clean, dry surfaces 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 stated flash off time usually give a smoother, more even finish. Allow the coating to fully cure before subjecting it to heavy cleaning or impact.
Working with 2K and 2K Air Dry: These products are for professional use and should be applied with suitable PPE and good ventilation. Mix accurately, respect pot life and dispose of waste materials responsibly. Many users choose 2K Air Dry where they want a two pack upgrade on durability without committing to the cost of full 2K on every job.
Equipment: Aerosols generally behave best when stored at room temperature and shaken thoroughly before use. Tins can be applied using compliant spray equipment or with a fine foam roller and brush for edges.
Coverage and appearance: Light, even passes allow the film to build gradually, helping to avoid runs and dry spray patches and giving a more consistent sheen.
Aftercare: Protect freshly coated surfaces from tape pull, impact and aggressive wash down until the coating has had time to harden. Simple, mild cleaning products are usually enough for routine maintenance.
Repeat orders: Batch details can be recorded so that future top ups are mixed back to the same colour and finish, helping return visits to feel straightforward and predictable.

Used with the correct primer this system can suit many common substrates, including metal, correctly prepared plastics and timber. The aim is a smooth, dependable finish with good adhesion and stable colour under normal service conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pantone 491 Aerosol Spray Paint is a custom-mixed aerosol spray paint colour from our Pantone C 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.
