IRIDA Professional Irida Acrylic Spray Paint Group

IRIDA Professional Acrylic Spray Paint is a high-performance, rapid-drying aerosol paint tailored for both professional artisans and DIY enthusiasts. It is widely recognized in South Africa for its high pigment load and “all-surface” versatility.

Unlike standard decorative sprays, the acrylic-based formula provides a more flexible, UV-resistant finish that resists yellowing over time.

Key Features

• High Opacity: Excellent “one-coat” coverage, even on darker surfaces, thanks to premium pigment density.
• Rapid Dry Time: Generally touch-dry in 10–15 minutes, allowing for faster project completion.
• All-Weather Durability: Highly resistant to UV rays and rain, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
• Non-Yellowing: The pure acrylic resin ensures that whites and bright colors stay true over years of exposure.
• Multi-Surface Adhesion: Bonds effectively to metal, wood, most plastics, wicker, glass, and masonry.

Common Applications

• Automotive Touch-ups: Used for rims, plastic trim, and small bodywork repairs.
• Furniture Restoration: Ideal for giving metal or wooden chairs a modern, high-gloss or matt finish.
• Industrial Marking: Frequently used on-site for marking steel or concrete due to its high visibility.
• Craft & Decor: Popular for upcycling glass jars, vases, and ornate picture frames.

Application Tips for a Professional Result

• Preparation: Clean the surface with a degreaser or alcohol. For metal, a light sanding with 400-grit paper improves “bite.”
• The “Shake” Rule: Shake the can for at least 2 minutes after the mixing ball starts rattling. This is crucial for acrylics to ensure even pigment distribution.
• Thin Coats: Apply 2–3 thin “mist” coats rather than one heavy coat to prevent runs or sagging.
• Nozzle Care: After use, turn the can upside down and spray for 2 seconds to clear the nozzle. This prevents the paint from drying inside the valve and ruining the can for next time.
