FAQs
How do I prepare the surface before using the touch-up paint?
Clean the area thoroughly with a degreaser and ensure it is completely dry. Lightly sanding or abrading the damaged area can improve adhesion.
Can I use this paint on plastics?
Yes, this Hycote Touch Up Paint is suitable for use on plastics, as well as metals, wood, and ceramics.
What is the drying time for this paint?
The paint is fast-drying, but a minimum of 30 minutes is recommended before applying a second coat or lacquer, depending on ambient conditions.

Troubleshooting
Paint not dispensing correctly from brush

Uneven finish after application
Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick one. Ensure consistent pressure and motion during application. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Paint peeling or not adhering
The surface may not have been properly cleaned or prepared. Ensure the area is free from contaminants and lightly abraded if necessary.
