FAQs

What is the primary use for this touch-up paint?

This paint is primarily designed for touching up small scratches and stone chips on vehicle paintwork.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying, but specific drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity.

Can I use this paint on plastic parts?

Yes, the paint is suitable for use on plastics, as well as metals, wood, and ceramics.

Is this paint compatible with all car paint types?

It is compatible with OEM finishes, acrylic, and older cellulose finishes. It's always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first.

How do I ensure the best colour match?

Ensure you have the correct vehicle manufacturer and model code. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Test on a hidden area if possible.

What should I do if I get visible brush strokes?

Apply the paint in thin, even layers. Avoid overloading the brush. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.

Does Hycote offer primers and lacquers for this product?

Yes, Hycote offers compatible primers and lacquers that can be used alongside this touch-up paint for a more complete repair.

How should I store the touch-up paint after use?

Store the can in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not dispensing or the brush is dry.

Ensure the can has been shaken thoroughly. Check if the brush tip is clogged; if so, clean it carefully according to the care instructions.

Uneven finish or visible brush strokes.

Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Allow each coat to dry slightly before applying the next. Use a light, even stroke.

Colour does not match perfectly.

Confirm the correct manufacturer and model code were used when selecting the paint. Re-shake the can thoroughly. Colour perception can vary; test on an inconspicuous area first.

Paint is peeling or not adhering.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. The surface may not be suitable for this type of paint, or the original finish might be incompatible.
