Our spray paints work on a wide range of surfaces, including metal, wood, plastic, and masonry. Always check the product description for specific surface suitability. For best results, make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or rust before spraying.

Yes. Most of our ranges are designed to cover multiple materials. For smooth plastics or bare wood, a primer may be needed for the best adhesion and durability.

Not always. Many surfaces will accept paint directly, but for tricky materials like bare metal, wood, or plastic, we recommend a primer for maximum durability and a smoother finish. Some of our products already contain built-in primer to save you time.

Yes. Our spray paints are weather-resistant and suitable for both indoor and outdoor projects. For items exposed to heavy use or harsh conditions, apply a clear protective lacquer for extra durability.

With the right preparation, spray paint provides a long-lasting finish. Outdoors, durability depends on exposure to sun, rain, and wear. Applying primer underneath and lacquer on top will extend the life of the coating.

That depends on the product you choose. We offer a variety of finishes including matt, satin, gloss, metallic, and specialist effects. The finish is always shown on the label and in the product description.

Some ranges are specifically formulated for added protection — for example:

• Anti-rust paints help prevent corrosion on metal.

• Heat-resistant paints withstand high temperatures (ideal for BBQs, engines, or radiators).

• AerosolsRus.co.uk offer extra resistance to chemicals, oils, or cleaners.
  Always check the product description to make sure you’re choosing the right type for your project. If in doubt contact us

The colour on the cap is a close guide, but slight variations can occur due to lighting, surface texture, and application method. For guaranteed accuracy, choose a RAL code colour, which follows strict matching standards. 

Our custom filled aerosols will have a white cap and the colour name will be printed on the tin, In all cases you should do a test spray to check colour accuracy.

All paints can be affected by sun, heat, or weathering over time. Our outdoor spray paints are UV-resistant to help prevent fading, and clear lacquer can be applied to give extra protection against discolouration.

Preparation is key. Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or rust. Sand lightly to create a smooth base, and apply a primer if the material requires it (e.g. bare metal, wood, or plastic).

Hold the can 20–30cm (8–12 inches) from the surface. Keep the can moving in smooth, overlapping strokes for an even finish.

Most spray paints are touch-dry in 20–30 minutes, ready to handle in 1–2 hours, and fully cured in about 24 hours. Drying time may vary depending on temperature, humidity, and thickness of coats.

For the best finish, apply 2–3 light coats instead of one heavy coat. Always allow each coat to dry before applying the next.

Always spray in light, even coats, holding the can the correct distance from the surface. Keep the can moving rather than concentrating on one spot. Several thin layers give a much smoother, professional finish.

Coverage depends on the surface and colour. As a guide, a 400ml can covers 1.5–2m² (around the size of a small table). Dark surfaces or dramatic colour changes may need extra coats.

Yes. Most paints can be recoated within 1 hour or after 24 hours once the paint has cured. Always check the instructions on the can for the specific recoat window.

Yes, but only in a well-ventilated area. Spray paint releases fumes while drying, so we recommend opening windows and doors or spraying outdoors when possible. 

Please visit our Consumables Page

We recommend wearing a mask or respirator, plus gloves, when spraying. This helps protect you from fumes and keeps paint off your skin. Safety glasses are a good idea too for larger projects.

Yes. Aerosols are pressurised and flammable, so keep them away from flames, sparks, and high heat. Never smoke while spraying.

Store cans upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heaters, or open flames. Do not expose cans to temperatures above 50°C. Always keep out of reach of children.

Yes. Once completely empty, aerosol cans can usually be recycled with household metal or mixed recycling. Check your local council’s guidelines to be sure.

General spray paints are designed for everyday projects on wood, metal, or plastic. Specialist products are formulated for specific tasks, such as UPVC resprays, heat-resistant coatings, anti-rust protection, or appliance enamel. Choosing the right paint ensures the best results and longer-lasting protection.

Yes. Professional-grade paints often contain higher pigment levels, giving better coverage and durability, while DIY ranges are designed to be easier to apply for beginners. Both give excellent results — it just depends on your project and experience.

Yes, but only certain ranges. We stock paints specifically designed for automotive use, including primers, topcoats, wheel paints, and clear lacquers. These withstand the heat, vibration, and weathering that cars experience. Always check the label to make sure it’s suitable for your part.

We offer specialist appliance enamels and heat-resistant paints for ovens, radiators, and white goods. Standard spray paints are not designed for food-contact areas or high-heat surfaces. Always choose the correct product for appliances to ensure safety and performance.

If the nozzle becomes blocked, remove it and soak it in warm water or paint thinner. After use, turn the can upside down and spray for 2–3 seconds to clear the valve — this prevents clogging for next time.

Uneven spray usually happens if the can is held too close, the surface isn’t properly prepared, or the coats are applied too heavily. Don’t worry — it’s easy to fix:

1. Shake the can well before use (at least 2–3 minutes) to mix the paint properly.

2. Hold the can 20–30cm from the surface and keep it moving in smooth, overlapping strokes.

3. Apply several light coats instead of one heavy coat — this gives a smoother, even finish.

4. If you’ve already sprayed and the finish looks patchy, let it dry fully, lightly sand with fine sandpaper, then reapply in thin layers.

For best results, always spray in a dust-free, well-ventilated area at room temperature.

Peeling or poor adhesion usually means the surface wasn’t properly prepared before spraying. Spray paint needs a clean, smooth base to bond correctly.

Common causes:

• The surface was dusty, greasy, or damp.

• Old paint or rust wasn’t removed first.

• No primer was used on a tricky surface like bare metal, plastic, or wood.

How to fix it:

1. Remove any loose or peeling paint.

2. Sand the surface lightly to create a smooth key.

3. Clean thoroughly with a degreaser or mild detergent, then let it dry fully.

4. Apply a suitable primer if the surface requires it.

5. Reapply the spray paint in thin, even coats.

✅ With the right prep, the paint will bond properly and give you a durable finish.

❓ How do I remove overspray or mistakes?

Don’t panic — overspray and small mistakes are common and can usually be fixed easily.

For fresh paint:

• Wipe it away straight away with a clean cloth and a little paint thinner, acetone, or nail polish remover (test on a small hidden area first to make sure it doesn’t damage the surface).

For dried paint:

• Lightly sand the affected area with fine sandpaper until smooth, then reapply light coats of paint.

• For glass, metal, or other hard surfaces, you can carefully scrape dried overspray off with a razor blade or plastic scraper.

✅ Tip: Always mask off surrounding areas with tape and Masking Paper/card to prevent overspray in the first place.
