1. What is JENOLITE Ford White Transit Paint?

JENOLITE Ford White Transit Paint is a high-quality aerosol paint specially formulated to match Ford Diamond White (Colour Ref: XSC691). It acts as a primer, undercoat, and topcoat in one, providing a smooth gloss white finish that resists rust and corrosion.

2. What is it suitable for?

This paint is ideal for touching up and repairing paintwork on work vans, commercial vehicles, and cars, particularly Ford Transits finished in Diamond White.

3. Can it be applied directly to rusted surfaces?

Yes — this product can be applied directly to rusted or bare metal surfaces. It seals, protects, and finishes in one step, reducing the need for separate primers or topcoats.

4. Does it require a primer?

No primer is needed. JENOLITE Transit Paint functions as a primer, undercoat, and topcoat all in one, saving time and simplifying application.

5. What finish does it provide?

The paint leaves a smooth, high-gloss white finish that matches Ford’s Diamond White colour (XSC691). It delivers a professional look with excellent coverage and shine.

6. Is it suitable for other vehicles?

Yes. While colour-matched for Ford Transits, this paint can be used on other vehicles or metal surfaces where a gloss white finish is desired.

7. Is it durable?

Absolutely. The formula is hard-wearing and UV-resistant, preventing discolouration, cracking, and corrosion. It’s built to withstand everyday wear and tear on vehicles.

8. How many coats should I apply?

For best results, apply 3–4 thin coats, allowing 15 minutes drying time between each coat. This ensures even coverage and maximum durability.

9. How should I prepare the surface?

Before painting:

• Remove dust, grease, and dirt with a suitable degreaser.
  
• Remove rust or loose paint using a wire brush or abrasive paper.
  
• Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and cool before spraying.
  

10. How do I apply it?

1. Shake the can thoroughly until the agitator ball rattles.
   
2. Hold the can 15–30cm away and spray in smooth, even strokes.
   
3. Apply thin coats, allowing drying time between each.
   

11. How should I store the can after use?

Invert the can and spray for 2 seconds to clear the nozzle. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and temperatures above 50°C.

12. Is it made in Britain?

Yes — like all JENOLITE paints, the Ford White Transit Paint is proudly made in Britain, ensuring high quality and reliability.

Step 1 – Confirm the Colour

Check that Diamond White XSC691 is appropriate for the vehicle.

Vehicle paint codes should be checked before application.

For local repairs, test the colour first.

Step 2 – Start With a Cool Surface

Do not apply to hot bodywork or metal.

Ensure the repair area is:

Step 3 – Degrease Thoroughly

Remove:

Repair these first with the appropriate filler or body-repair system.

Allow approximately:

15 MINUTES

between coats.
