What Makes Our Spray Paint High-Quality?

A great result starts with a superior product. We reject aerosols with poor coverage or inconsistent nozzles. The paints we stock are chosen for specific, expert qualities:

High-Solids & Rich Pigments:

Our paints provide exceptional coverage and deep, true colour, saving you time and materials.

Advanced Nozzle Technology:

We prioritise products with nozzles designed to produce a fine, wide spray pattern, minimising the risk of drips and "tiger striping" for a smooth, factory-like finish.

Proven Durability:

Every product is selected for its ability to last, whether it's withstanding UV rays on outdoor furniture, resisting stone chips on a vehicle, or preventing corrosion on structural steel.

Our range is built to provide the perfect coating solution for your specific task.

For the Home & DIY:

Transform your home with confidence. Our versatile paints make it easy to upcycle a vintage dresser, give uPVC window frames a modern anthracite grey finish, or restore weathered garden furniture. With a vast selection of colours and finishes, your imagination is the only limit.

For Automotive Restoration:

Achieve a showroom-quality finish with our durable automotive paints. Our range includes everything from basecoats to high-performance heat resistant paint perfect for brake calipers and engine blocks.

For Industrial Applications:

When performance is non-negotiable, our industrial aerosols deliver. For ultimate metal protection, our anti-corrosion sprays create a sacrificial barrier that actively prevents rust. These are the tough, reliable coatings trusted by fabricators and maintenance professionals across the UK.

A Complete System for a Flawless, End-to-End Finish

A professional job is a process. We provide the complete system in aerosol form, so you can control every stage of your project and work towards the perfect finish.

1. Primer Sprays: The Critical Foundation

Our advice: don't skip the prep. Our high-build and etch primers create a smooth, durable base, ensuring a powerful chemical bond between the surface and your colour coat. This prevents peeling and guarantees a longer-lasting finish.

2. Metal Paints & Coatings: Ultimate Protection

Protect and transform any metal. Our range includes 2K (two-component) coatings with activated hardeners for chemical-resistant finishes, flexible direct-to-metal paints, and our essential anti-corrosion primers for lasting rust protection.

3. Plastic Paints & Promoters: Unbeatable Adhesion

Painting plastic is notoriously difficult. However, the systems we have carefully selected make it simple. We supply powerful adhesion promoters that microscopically etch the non-porous surface, creating an unbreakable key for your paint. This ensures your topcoat won't flake or peel on car bumpers, interior trim, or garden furniture.

How long does spray paint take to dry?

The drying time for spray paint depends on several factors including the type of paint, surface material, and environmental conditions.

Fast-drying spray paints and coatings, like those available at Nebula Paints, are often formulated for quicker application, helping you speed up projects without compromising on finish. Warmer temperatures, good airflow, and low humidity can also reduce drying time.

Always check the can or product data sheet for specific drying guidelines to get the best results.

How do you get a smooth finish with aerosol paint?

Achieving a professional, smooth finish with an aerosol can is all about technique and preparation. First, ensure your surface is perfectly clean, dry, and has been sanded to create a "key" for the paint to grip. The most important step is to shake the can vigorously for at least two full minutes to properly mix the paint and propellant.

For application, hold the can upright about 6-8 inches (15-20cm) from the surface. The key is to apply several light, thin coats rather than one heavy, thick coat. Start spraying just before the edge of your object and continue past the other side, moving at a steady pace. Overlap each pass by about 50% to avoid stripes. Allowing the recommended "flash-off" time between coats (usually 10-15 minutes) is crucial for a run-free, even finish.
