Can I achieve a professional finish using aerosol spray paint?

Yes — modern aerosol paint technology allows DIY users to achieve impressive results without professional spray equipment. Repco’s range of automotive paint includes high-quality aerosol products designed for smooth atomisation and even coverage.

Aerosol automotive paint is ideal for:

• Repairing bumper scuffs

Fast-drying formulations allow multiple coats to be applied within appropriate timeframes, helping reduce downtime. For best results, apply light, even coats and allow proper flash-off time between applications. When combined with correct preparation, products from Repco’s range of automotive paint can deliver a smooth, durable, and consistent finish suitable for everyday driving conditions.

What preparation is required before applying automotive paint?

Preparation is the foundation of any successful paint project. Even the best automotive paint will not adhere properly to a contaminated or uneven surface. Repco’s range of automotive paint is supported by a complete selection of preparation products to ensure optimal adhesion and longevity.

Before applying colour:

1. Clean the surface thoroughly with wax and grease remover.
2. Sand the area to remove imperfections and create a keyed surface.
3. Repair dents or damaged sections using body filler if necessary.
4. Apply the correct primer for the surface material.

Etch primer is recommended for bare or non-ferrous metal surfaces, as it promotes strong adhesion and corrosion resistance. Plastic primer should be used on plastic or fibreglass parts to ensure compatibility with the top coat. Using primers from Repco’s range of automotive paint helps create a stable base that improves finish consistency.

After priming, lightly sand again before applying the colour coat in thin layers. To maximise durability and gloss, finish with a clear coat. Clear coats available within Repco’s range of automotive paint add depth and provide additional protection against UV fading and environmental exposure.

Does Repco sell paint for surfaces other than car body panels?

Yes. Repco’s range of automotive paint extends beyond standard exterior panels. Durable enamel spray paints and specialty coatings are available for various automotive and workshop applications.
