Aerosol painting system for small automotive jobs

An aerosol painting system for use on small areas of cars or other vehicles, is said to achieve results previously possible only with the use of a professional spray gun.

Plascon recently streamlined its Automotive Touchup range to include its Touchup Single Pack Fill In aerosol and Touchup 2K Topcoat Fill In aerosol, both available in 300 ml cans with the option of additional aerosol caps, to facilitate safe storage.

The painting systems offer a number of benefits, including:

• Any desired Mastermix technology – from 2K polyurethane and Flowline to Cargoline or Basecoat mix – can be filled in and the can marked to indicate the contents. This facilitates professional and cost-effective repairs on smaller parts of a vehicle, in any desired colour and in the required quantity.
• The aerosol can allows for either vertical or horizontal spraying, without causing a variation in colour or finish.
• The cans are designed with an inbuilt converter, eliminating the need for a hardener to be activated or added. This helps to ensure durability and longer paintwork lifespan.
• The twin pack system also increases the product lifespan as it can be used multiple times.

Plascon highlights a number of additional advantages of using its aerosol system for small touch-ups, compared to using a spray gun, including the elimination of common paint problems such as ‘fish-eye’ bubbling, wrinkling, lifting, dulling, air trapping, grit, mottling, sand scratches or peeling. It also says that its latest enhancements add fewer overspray emissions, better weather and scratch resistance, and the fastest and most economical paintwork repairs for cars, motor bikes, yachts, or any other type of vehicle.
