Technical overview of Trimo Aerosol Spray Paint

Trimo Aerosol Spray Paint is a custom-mixed colour from our Cladding Paint chart, available as 1K (ready to use), 2K (integrated hardener for higher chemical and abrasion resistance) and 2K Air-Dry (non-isocyanate hardener). Finishes: Matt 0%, Satin 30%, Semi 60%, Full Gloss 90%. 2K aerosols are supplied as Acrylic Enamel only.

Surface preparation standards (plastics, metals, wood, uPVC)

Clean/degrease thoroughly, then key the surface (typical P400–P600 for plastics/metals). Use substrate-appropriate primers: plastic adhesion for plastics/uPVC; etch/anti-corrosive for bare metals; sealers/primers for wood; dedicated systems for glass/fibreglass. Correct priming improves adhesion and durability.

Application parameters (distance, passes, overlap, flash-off)

Spray at ~15–25 cm with steady speed and angle. Apply light, even passes with ~50% overlap. Flash-off: 1K ~5–10 minutes, 2K ~10–15 minutes depending on conditions. Use adjustable fan width to suit the area and limit overspray.

Recoat window and curing schedule (1K vs 2K)

1K: recoat after about 10–15 minutes; typical handling cure around 30 minutes. 2K: recoat after about 20–30 minutes; touch-dry roughly 40 minutes; full cure around 24–48 hours. Ambient conditions will affect all timings.

Coverage and target film build

Guide coverage is around 2 m² per coat from a 400 ml aerosol on a smooth, primed substrate. Plan for 2–4 light coats. Target around 20–40 µm total dry film thickness; a light aerosol pass can deposit roughly 10–15 µm depending on technique and conditions.

System compatibility (primers, clears, overcoating)

Use compatible primers and clears from the same system where possible. Avoid mixing dissimilar chemistries without testing. Respect recoat windows to protect intercoat adhesion and gloss. Always validate with a small test area.

Environmental conditions and safety

Apply in mild, dry conditions—ideally 10–25 °C with relative humidity under 75% and steady airflow. Keep the substrate at least ~3 °C above dew point. Use appropriate PPE (respirator, gloves, eye protection) and ensure excellent ventilation. Refer to the product data sheets for full guidance.

Trade Application Notes

Trimo forms part of our Cladding Paint Colour Chart. Each order is mixed fresh using Lechler binders and colourants so that aerosols, tins and touch up products can be reordered later with confidence for snagging, repairs and small additions.

Formats: 400 ml aerosols are available in 1K (ready to use), full 2K, and 2K Air Dry. 2K Air Dry is designed to give a two pack style upgrade on durability while usually sitting at a lower price point than traditional 2K, which makes it a popular option for regular contract work. We also offer 1 litre tins, touch up pots and touch up pens.
Finishes: Choose from matt, satin, semi gloss or full gloss so you can follow an existing scheme or match a client specification and cleaning regime.
Surface preparation: For best results, degrease thoroughly, lightly abrade to a uniform key and remove dust and loose material. Please select a primer that is appropriate for the substrate and service conditions.
Masking and protection: We recommend masking nearby glass, brickwork, signs and ground finishes, and using simple sheeting where needed. This keeps overspray under control and helps with handover on live sites.
Application control: The vari nozzle cap can be set to a wide or narrow fan pattern to suit the area you are working on. This gives better control on edges, corners and detail work.
Managing overspray: On exterior projects it helps to think about wind direction and how people move through the space. Temporary screens and a clearly marked working zone can make application smoother and more relaxed.
Weather window: Apply only to clean, dry substrates. Avoid times where rain, heavy dew or condensation are likely. Please follow the temperature and humidity guidance set out in the technical data sheet.
Recoat and curing: Several light coats with the recommended flash off time normally give a more even finish than one heavy pass. Allow the coating to cure fully before exposing it to aggressive cleaning or impact.
2K and 2K Air Dry products: These are professional coatings and should be used with suitable PPE and good ventilation. Mix carefully, respect pot life and dispose of any remaining material responsibly. In many cases, 2K Air Dry is chosen as the day to day option for improved durability where full 2K is not required on every job.
Equipment: Aerosols usually perform best when kept at room temperature and shaken well before and during use. Tinned product can be applied using compliant spray equipment or with a fine foam roller and a small brush for edges.
Coverage and appearance: Aim for smooth, overlapping passes and build the film gradually. This helps to avoid runs and dry spray, and supports a more consistent sheen across the whole area.
Aftercare: Try to protect freshly coated surfaces from tape pull, knocks and high pressure cleaning until the coating has had time to harden. Mild cleaning solutions are usually enough for routine maintenance.
Repeat orders: Batch details can be recorded so that top ups and follow on work can be supplied back to the same colour and finish, helping return visits feel straightforward for both you and your client.

Combined with the correct primer, this system can be suitable for many common substrates such as metal, correctly prepared plastics and timber. The goal is a smooth, dependable finish with sound adhesion and stable colour under normal service conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Trimo Aerosol Spray Paint is a custom-mixed colour from our Cladding Paint chart, available as:

1K aerosol/tin: ready to use; general purpose.
2K aerosol/tin: integrated hardener for higher chemical/abrasion resistance.
2K Air-Dry: 2K performance with non-isocyanate hardener for easier handling.

Finishes: Matt 0%, Satin 30%, Semi 60%, Full Gloss 90%. 2K aerosols are supplied as Acrylic Enamel only.

Clean/degrease: remove oils, silicones and residues (use panel-wipe; lint-free cloths).
Key the surface: typical aerosol prep is P400–P600 (plastics/metals), vacuum then tack-rag.
Primers: plastic adhesion for plastics/uPVC; etch/anti-corrosive for bare metals; sealers/primers for wood; dedicated systems for glass/fibreglass.

Correct priming vastly improves adhesion, opacity and long-term durability.

Spray distance: ~15–25 cm; maintain a constant angle and speed.
Technique: light, even passes with ~50% overlap; build film gradually.
Flash-off between light coats: 1K ~5–10 mins; 2K ~10–15 mins (conditions dependent).
Nozzle control: use the vari-nozzle (wide/narrow) to suit area and reduce overspray.

Always test on a small area to validate settings before full application.

1K: recoat ~10–15 mins; typical handling cure ~30 mins.
2K: recoat ~20–30 mins; touch-dry ~40 mins; full cure ~24–48 hrs.

Temperature, airflow and humidity significantly affect all timings—verify on your substrate.

Coverage guide: ~2 m² per coat from a 400 ml aerosol on a smooth, primed substrate.
Typical passes: 2–4 light coats for uniform colour and gloss.
Film build: plan for ~20–40 µm DFT across the system; a light aerosol pass can deposit ~10–15 µm (approx.).

Heavily textured/porous surfaces and strong colour changes may require additional coats.

Use system-appropriate primers and clears from the same family where possible.
Avoid mixing dissimilar chemistries without testing; perform a small adhesion/solvent-rub test first.
Observe recoat windows to protect intercoat adhesion and gloss.

For detailed guidance, refer to the data sheets below.

Ambient: ideally 10–25 °C, RH < 75%, steady airflow; substrate temperature at least ~3 °C above dew point.
PPE: suitable respirator, gloves, eye protection; ensure excellent ventilation.

See 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.
