Degree of gloss (at measurement angle 60° acc. to DIN 67530):
glossy: 85 - 95 gloss units
-
Efficiency:
Depending on consistence and color of the ground:
160 ml are sufficient for approx. 0.3 - 0.4 m²
-
Drying time (at 20°C, 50% relative air humidity):
Dust-dry: after approx. 30 minutes
Non-sticky: after approx. 2 hours

24 months if appropriate storage provided (=10°-25°C, relative air humidity max. 60%).
Potlife after activating the hardener: 24 hours (at 20°C)
-
Disposal: Put only empty cans into the recycling bin. Bring cans with remainders of paint to the special refuse disposal.
-
Size: aerosol cans, maximum nominal volume 160 ml
Environment and labelling
Environmentally sound: The products of MOTIP DUPLI are 100% free of heavy metals. The caps and packagings are made of recyclable material.
Disposal: Only the completely emptied cans should be put into the recycling skip or appropriate container for reclaimable refuse. Cans which are not empty should be disposed off as "special refuse".
Marking/Labelling: All products made by MOTIP DUPLI comply with the actual labelling regulations according to Preparation Guideline 1999/45/EG. All aerosols correspond to TRGS 200 and TRG 300 as well as to aerosol guideline 75/324/EWG in the actually valid version.
Using instructions
The most DUPLI-COLOR 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:
- Base coatings have to be fully dry. Please observe instructions of the paint manufacturer.
Mixing the clear lacquer with the hardener:
- The hardener is integrated within the spray can in a separate cartridge.
- To mix the hardener with the A-component, place can upside down on even surface.
- Remove protecting cap from the bottom of the can.
- Take out the ring and mount the ring through the hole of the bolt.
- Pull the bolt at the bottom of the can with the aid of the metal ring as far as it will go.
- By a following 360° turn the cartridge will be completely opened and the hardener will be released.
Application:
- Important: Shake can vigorously for 3 minutes from the audible noise of the balls in the can. This grants the optimal mixing with the hardener.
- Test spray at an invisible spot.
- Apply 2 – 3 coats of the clear lacquer. Allow to lift off for approx. 2 minutes after every coat.
- Potlife: After activating the hardener, the clear lacquer hast to be used within 24 hours (at 20°C). The working time depends on the surrounding temperature. Higher temperatures lead to a shorter pot life, lower temperatures to a longer potlife.
- Do not spray over synthetic paints!
- Hint: On white or other pale surfaces there might occur slight colour deviations.
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!
