Instruction manuel

The most MoTip spray paints have a so-called no-spray ring or a tamper-proof cap. This is to avoid unauthorized use. Please see the corresponding advises on the cap or on the label.
Before use, carefully read and observe the warning texts on the label!

Preparation of the ground:

  • Clean underground from dirt, fat and rust. 
  • Treat existing pore rust with presto Deruster.
  • Generously mask off the repair spot. Larger surfaces should be masked off at creases and edges of the car body, too. 
  • Fill and sand uneven surfaces. If there is no putty necessary, apply MoTip Primer. Otherwise apply MoTip Filler Spray on the fine-sanded putty layer.
  • Smooth the thoroughly dried Filler layer by wet-sanding (sandpaper P1000).

Lacquering:

  • Before use, shake the can vigorously for 3 minutes.
  • The spray distance should be approx. 20-30 cm.
  • Spray the metallic lacquer in 3 - 5 minute intervals several thin coats onto the dry repair spot.
  • Metallic paints have to be sealed after 30 minutes drying time with clear lacquer. Otherwise the aluminium parts in the lacquer will be attacked by environmental and weathering influences.
  • Do not spray over synthetic paints!

Tips for spray painting

Protect the object and the surrounding area from spray mist. When painting small areas it is recommended that a piece of card is used as a mask, with a hole cut in it slightly larger than the area to be sprayed. The mask should be held 1 to 2 cm from the surface. With this method, the mainly part of the spray mist is brought under control. It recommends to mask parts not to be lacquered, to protect the surrounding against the spray mist.

The aerosol can should have room temperature.

Temperature should range between +10°C and +25°C, max. air humidity 60 %.

Store in a dry place. Protect from direct sunlight and other sources of heat. Use only during dry weather, in places protected from the wind, and in well-ventilated rooms. Follow the warning texts on the labels!
