FAQ

Will Matt Black work on bare wood, plastic or metal?
Wood and rigid plastics yes. Bare metal needs Grey Primer first. Soft plastics (polypropylene, polyethylene) don't hold spray well.

Is it food-safe?
No, not food-contact certified. Fine for decorative items not touching food (vase exteriors, picture frames).

How long outdoors?
12–24 months before fade. Double the life with two coats of Gloss Clear topcoat.

How many cans for a 60×80cm canvas?
About 2 cans of 100g for full two-coat coverage. One can does a 30×40cm canvas comfortably.

Why ground freight only?
NZ Civil Aviation rules prohibit aerosols from air freight. Adds 1–2 days vs express. Free shipping over $75 still applies.
