• Do not apply paint if the temperature is below 10°C or likely to fall below 10°C during the drying period.

All surfaces should be thoroughly dry, clean and free of all loose dirt, surface chalk, grease, mould, mildew, wax and loose or flaking paint. Sand smooth, dust down, fill and prime in accordance with the requirements of the chosen system.

Before spraying: Protect all adjoining surfaces from overspray. Shake the can well for at least one minute after the ball starts to move before use and regularly during use. Lower temperatures and high humidity will slow the drying speed. Avoid spraying when air or surface temperature is below 10°C or above 35°C. To ensure surface compatibility, test spray on an inconspicuous area.

Spray application: Hold can upright 15 to 25cm from the surface. Spray vertically with smooth, even strokes parallel to the surface. Apply several light mist coats, wet on wet, rather than one heavy coat which may cause paint dripping or sagging.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and and away from oxidising agents and corrosive materials. Protect from sunlight. Store away from sources of heat and/or ignition. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C. Unused paint: Spray unwanted paint onto newspaper and allow to dry, and then disposed of via domestic waste collections. Empty paint containers: Empty aerosol cans are recyclable via steel can recycling programs. Disposal of empty aerosol containers via domestic recycling programs differ between local authorities. Check with your local council first. For more information on responsible disposal of paint and packaging visit paintback.com.au or painttakeback.co.nz
