FAQs

What is the best way to prepare the surface before applying the touch-up paint?

The damaged area should be thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free from any contaminants such as grease, wax, or rust. Lightly sanding rough edges can also improve adhesion.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

It is generally recommended to apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next, which usually takes about 15-30 minutes depending on conditions.

Can I use this paint on plastic trim?

Yes, this paint is designed to be compatible with plastics, as well as metals, wood, and ceramics. Ensure the plastic surface is clean and properly prepared for best adhesion.

How long does the paint last once opened?

When stored correctly with the cap sealed tightly in a cool, dry place, the paint should remain usable for an extended period. However, performance may degrade over time.

Is this paint suitable for large scratches or areas?

This product is primarily designed for small touch-ups like stone chips and minor scratches. For larger areas, a spray can or professional application might be more suitable.

Does this product include a primer or lacquer?

The product description indicates that primers and lacquers are available separately. This specific item is the colour touch-up brush paint itself.

Troubleshooting

Paint not dispensing from the brush

Ensure the container is thoroughly shaken. The brush may be clogged; gently clean the bristles with a suitable solvent if necessary.

Uneven or streaky finish

Apply thinner coats and allow adequate drying time between applications. Ensure the brush is not overloaded with paint. Practice on a scrap surface first.

Colour does not match exactly

Verify the vehicle's paint code to ensure this is the correct product for your specific Vauxhall model and year. Fading of original paint may cause slight discrepancies.

Paint remains tacky after extended drying

Ensure application in a well-ventilated area with appropriate temperature and humidity. Thick application or incompatible surface preparation can also cause slow drying.

  • Resistant to fading, maintaining the integrity of the repair.

Cons

  • Requires careful application for a smooth, unnoticeable finish.

  • Colour matching is specific; using on incompatible models may result in a visible difference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the damaged area is clean, dry, and free from rust or debris. Lightly sand any rough edges if necessary. For best results on metallic finishes, ensure the base coat is properly adhered and dry before application.

Application: Shake the 12.5ml container well before use. Apply a thin, even coat using the built-in brush directly onto the scratch or chip. Allow to dry completely before applying a second coat if needed. For optimal results, apply in a well-ventilated area and avoid extreme temperatures.

Compatibility: This paint is compatible with OEM finishes and suitable for both acrylic and cellulosic finishes. It can be applied to metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.

Care: Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use to prevent the paint from drying out.
