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.

Frequently Asked Questions

BS 8-091 Aerosol Spray Paint is a custom-mixed aerosol spray paint colour from our BS 2660 Aerosol Spray 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.
