FAQs

How do I prepare the surface before applying the touch-up paint?

Clean the area thoroughly with a degreaser, ensure it's dry, and remove any loose paint or rust. Lightly sanding the edges of the scratch or chip can help the paint adhere better.

How long does the Hycote touch-up paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. However, drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity. It's recommended to allow sufficient time for each coat to dry before applying another or before exposing the area to harsh conditions.

Can this paint be used on plastic parts?

Yes, Hycote Touch Up Brush paints are suitable for use on plastics as well as metals, wood, and ceramics.

What if I need to apply multiple coats?

Allow the first coat to dry sufficiently before applying subsequent thin coats until the desired coverage is achieved. This helps prevent runs and ensures a smoother finish.

How should I store the touch-up paint pot?

Store the pot in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Make sure the lid is securely closed after each use to prevent the paint from drying out.

Is this paint compatible with my car's original paint?

Yes, the paints are compatible with OEM finishes and suitable for both acrylic and cellulosic finishes found on modern and older vehicles.

What is the volume of the container?

The container holds 12.5ml of touch-up paint.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. Lightly abrading the surface can also improve adhesion.

Uneven finish after application

Apply paint in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Ensure the brush is not overloaded with paint.

Colour match appears incorrect

Verify the vehicle's exact paint code and ensure it matches the product. Colour variations can occur due to age, sun fading, or previous paint repairs.

Paint is too thick or thin

Shake the can vigorously for the recommended time. If the paint is too thick after mixing, a very small amount of appropriate thinner (e.g., cellulose thinners for cellulose finishes) may be added, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
