No gun, no compressor and no hardener: shake it and spray. It is made for touch ups and small jobs like plastic trims, interior parts, toolboxes and bar work, and covers about 1.5 square metres per 300g.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy reach for the can?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA small scuff not worth setting up a gun for.\u003c\/strong\u003e Touch up texture straight from the can.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaded or scratched plastic trim.\u003c\/strong\u003e Once prepped, it grips metal, aluminium, fibreglass, plastic and wood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall parts exposed to knocks and damp.\u003c\/strong\u003e The texture film stands up to impacts, scratches, rust and moisture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the 1K aerosol works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1K formula air dries without a catalyst. An agitation ball inside keeps it mixed as you shake.
