FAQs
Can this be used on plastic bumpers?
Yes, Hycote Colour Touch Up is suitable for use on plastics, including automotive bumpers.
Does it require a clear coat?
While the paint is durable, applying a clear lacquer over the top can provide extra gloss and protection, depending on the specific finish of your vehicle.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint is fast-drying, typically touch-dry within a short period, though full curing takes longer depending on ambient temperature.
Is it safe for metal surfaces?
Yes, it is designed for use on metals, which makes it effective for repairing stone chips that have exposed the metal primer.
How do I ensure the colour match is correct?
Check your vehicle's paint code—usually found on a sticker or plate in the door jamb, engine bay, or service book—and verify it matches the manufacturer code provided by Hycote.
What is the shelf life of the paint?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the cap tightened securely, the paint will remain usable for a significant period.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thick or gloopy
Ensure the bottle is shaken well. If it remains thick, check that the cap was stored tightly; the paint may have begun to cure.
Visible brush marks on the finish
Apply thinner layers and ensure the brush is not overloaded. Using a light touch and allowing each coat to dry fully can help achieve a smoother finish.
Paint does not adhere to the surface
The surface likely has residual wax or silicone. Clean the area thoroughly with a degreaser or alcohol-based cleaner before reapplying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the Hycote Touch Up Brush, first shake the bottle vigorously for at least one minute to ensure the pigment is thoroughly mixed. Use the brush to apply thin layers, allowing sufficient drying time between coats. Regarding compatibility, this product is designed for use on OEM finishes and is suitable for both acrylic and cellulosic applications. For optimal care, store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure the cap is tightened firmly after each use to prevent the paint from thickening or drying out within the bottle.
