FAQs
How do I prepare the surface before applying the paint?
Clean the area thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, and wax. Ensure the surface is completely dry before application.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is fast-drying. Drying time is typically 15-30 minutes for the first coat, but this can vary based on temperature and humidity. Allow full drying before applying additional coats or lacquer.
Can I use this paint on plastic parts?
Yes, this paint is suitable for use on plastics, as well as metals, wood, and ceramics.
What is the best way to apply the paint for a smooth finish?
Apply in thin, even coats using the brush. Avoid applying too much paint at once. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat for a smooth appearance.
Do I need to use a primer or lacquer with this paint?
A primer may be beneficial for bare metal or heavily damaged areas. A compatible clear lacquer is recommended after the colour coat has dried to enhance durability and gloss.
How should I store the touch-up paint?
Store the pot in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly after each use.
What does 'Intense Blue' refer to?
'Intense Blue' is the specific colour name for this variant of Hycote Touch Up Brush Paint, designed to match a particular shade of blue on compatible vehicle models.
Troubleshooting
Paint not dispensing from brush
Ensure the paint has been thoroughly shaken for at least two minutes. The brush might be clogged; carefully clean any dried paint from the brush bristles.
Uneven or streaky finish
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Avoid overloading the brush. If unevenness persists, allow to dry and apply subsequent thin coats, feathering the edges.
Paint not drying
Ensure application is in a well-ventilated area at an appropriate temperature (typically above 10°C). Humidity can affect drying times. Avoid applying excessively thick coats.
Color doesn't match perfectly
Verify the exact vehicle manufacturer, model, and paint code. Ensure the original paint hasn't significantly faded. Minor variations can occur due to age and environmental exposure of the original paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Before application, ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease or contaminants. Lightly abrade the damaged area if necessary. Shake the 12.5ml pot vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed.
Application: Use the integrated brush to apply a thin, even coat of paint to the scratch or chip. Avoid applying too much paint, as this can lead to runs or an uneven finish. Allow the first coat to dry completely (typically 15-30 minutes depending on temperature and humidity) before applying a second coat if required. For optimal results and protection, consider applying a compatible clear lacquer after the colour coat has fully dried.
Compatibility: This paint is compatible with OEM finishes, suitable for both acrylic and older cellulose finishes. It can be used on metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Care: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after use. The paint is designed for touch-up purposes and is not intended as a full respray solution.
