Which paint type should I choose (1K, 2K, 2K Air-Dry)?

1K is ready to use and suits lighter-duty jobs and touch-ups. 2K contains a built-in hardener for higher chemical and abrasion resistance on demanding surfaces. 2K Air-Dry provides 2K performance with a non-isocyanate hardener for easier handling. Note: our 2K aerosols are supplied as Acrylic Enamel only.

Do I need a primer, and which one is right?

Preparation is essential: clean, degrease and key the surface. Use the correct primer for the substrate: plastic adhesion primers for plastics, glass or fibreglass primers for those materials, and metal/etch primers for metals. Using the right primer improves adhesion and longevity.

How long does it take to dry, and when can I recoat?

For 1K, apply light passes and recoat after around 10–15 minutes; typical cure is about 30 minutes depending on conditions. For 2K, recoat after around 20–30 minutes, touch-dry is about 40 minutes, and full cure is usually 24–48 hours. Temperature and humidity affect all drying and curing times.

How much will I need (coverage & coats)?

A 400 ml aerosol typically covers up to approximately 2 m² per coat on smooth, primed surfaces. Most jobs need 2–4 coats depending on the colour, surface profile and the shade being covered.

Any tips for a smooth, professional finish?

Shake the can for 2–3 minutes and during use. Spray 15–25 cm from the surface in light, even passes with slight overlap. Keep the can upright and clear the nozzle with a short burst after use. Use adjustable fan patterns to suit the area and reduce overspray.

Can I spray indoors, and what safety should I consider?

Only spray indoors with excellent ventilation and appropriate PPE such as a respirator, gloves and eye protection. Protect surrounding areas from overspray. Refer to product data sheets for detailed safety and handling guidance.

Trade Application Notes

Pantone 5545 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.
