ColorBond FAQ
What is the coverage of the aerosols?
While coverage may vary depending on the colour selection and substrate to the painted, a conservative estimate is 6-8 ft² per can.
Can ColorBond create custom colours?
Yes, we offer a bespoke colour match service.

How can I find the correct colour for my vehicle?

Does ColorBond fill cracks or tears in the substrate?

What should I use for cleaning the surface after application?
We recommend using our own ColorBond prep cleaner. Please note that whatever you choose to use, do not use solvent cleaners!
Is priming necessary?
In some cases you do not need to prime the surface, but this is dependent on the type of material you are coating. Generally, for non porous surfaces such as metal and some plastics, we would always recommend using color Bond adhesion promoter.
