Product Information

Full details

Designed for automotive enthusiasts and DIY vehicle owners, the Hycote Colour Touch Up Brush Paint offers a precise solution for repairing minor paint damage like stone chips and surface scratches. This 37.5ml red paint is engineered for high-quality coverage and durability, featuring quick-drying resin technology that blends seamlessly with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) finishes. While it provides excellent resistance to sunlight and fading, achieving a factory-perfect look on deep body-panel gouges may require professional-grade blending techniques or multiple applications.

FAQs

Can I use this paint on plastic bumpers?

Yes, this paint is suitable for use on plastics as well as metals, wood, and ceramics.

Does this require a separate clear coat?

While the paint provides a tough finish, a clear coat can be applied afterward if your vehicle's original finish has a high-gloss metallic look.

Is this paint compatible with cellulose finishes?

Yes, the resin technology used by Hycote ensures compatibility with both modern acrylic and older cellulose paint systems.

How long should I wait between coats?

Due to its fast-drying formula, you should wait until the surface is touch-dry, which typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on temperature.

What is the best way to clean the surface before applying?

Use a specialized car panel degreaser or isopropyl alcohol to remove wax, silicone, and road grime for the best adhesion.

Is this suitable for deep gouges down to the metal?

For deep gouges, it is recommended to use a filler or primer base first to level the surface before applying the touch-up colour.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or gloopy

Ensure the cap is tightened fully during storage to prevent solvent evaporation. If the paint has thickened, it may have reached the end of its shelf life.

Colour appears slightly different

Paint colours can appear different on older vehicles due to sun fading of the original finish. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Paint is bubbling during application

This is usually caused by applying too much paint at once or applying in direct sunlight. Use thinner, lighter coats and work in the shade.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent colour matching for a wide range of specific vehicle models
  • Suitable for both modern acrylic and older cellulose paint systems
  • Highly resistant to sunlight and environmental fading
  • Fast-drying nature speeds up multi-coat repair projects
  • Compact 37.5ml size is ideal for small, recurring touch-up needs

Cons

  • Not intended for large-scale body panel repainting or spraying
  • May require clear coat application for high-gloss metallic finishes
  • Limited to specific pre-matched colours rather than custom blending
  • Requires steady hand for application on very fine scratches

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, verify the vehicle's paint code against the Hycote specification to ensure an accurate match. The paint is compatible with existing OEM finishes and does not require a primer if applied directly to a clean, non-corroded surface. After use, wipe the brush applicator clean with a suitable solvent to prevent the paint from hardening inside the cap. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ensuring the lid is tightened securely to prevent the solvent from evaporating and the paint from thickening.
