Application
Painting bare PVC Plastic
Before starting, ensure you have the correct PPE and RPE if you are spraying, to protect against atomised particles that are being generated when spraying.
Stir the paint well before use.
Step 1: Prepare the Surface
Good preparation is key to achieving a professional, long-lasting finish. Lightly abrade the PVC plastic by hand using fine-grit sandpaper or Scotch-Brite pads to create a surface that allows better paint adhesion.
Step 2: Clean the Surface
Wipe down the sanded surface with an acetone-based cleaner to remove dust, dirt, and any contaminants that may interfere with paint bonding.
Step 3: Mask Off Surrounding Areas
Use non-bleeding tape and masking paper to protect areas around the PVC. Taking time to properly mask ensures clean, sharp lines and prevents overspray.
Step 4: Apply the First Coat
Using a spray gun or aerosol spray can, apply the first coat in slow, steady passes, giving the PVC a light mist coat to build up an even base.
This paint can be applied with a brush or roller, but due to its quick-drying nature, avoid overworking it to ensure a smooth, even finish.
Overcoat after 1 hour and within 4 hours. If you go over 4 hours it will need to be left 12 hours after as the coating can attack itself.
Step 6: Top Coat
Apply your top coat after 1 hour and within 4 hours. If you go over 4 hours it will need to be left 12 hours after as the coating can attack itself.
Step 7 - Allow Proper Drying Time
Once all coats are applied, let the paint dry for at least 24 hours before handling. For applications where the surface is prone to scratches, wait up to a week before use to allow the paint to fully cure.
Step 8: Achieve the Best Results
For the smoothest, most professional finish, spray application using a spray gun or aerosol spray cans will provide the best results compared to brushing or rolling.
Mixing
Always stir any paint well before use, as our coatings are heavily pigmented and separation can easily occur. You may experience colour float; for example, a green paint can appear blue before mixing. This is one of the reasons why mixing your paint before use is essential.
- Use a mixer on a slow-running drill or a palette knife on smaller cans to mix the paint. An egg whisk, screwdriver, or small stick that doesn’t reach the bottom of the can is insufficient for proper mixing.
- Mixing should take place for 3-5 minutes.
- If you are adding thinners; they will need to be added once stirred.

Spraying
If applying with a pot gun:
Use a 1:8 to 2:0 tip setup and thin by 10% if required. More thinners may be added to achieve good atomisation and improve the flow of the paint, resulting in a better finish.
Air-assisted or Airless system:
Use an 11-13 thou tip (no thinners are usually required). If thinning is necessary, use around 10%. Set air and paint pressures until good atomisation is achieved and fingering (lines in the spray) have blended in.
