FAQs
Is this paint suitable for plastic bumpers?
Yes, Hycote Colour Touch Up is suitable for use on plastics, making it effective for bumpers and trim pieces.
Do I need a clear coat after applying this paint?
While it provides a tough, hard-wearing finish, applying a clear lacquer over the top can help achieve a glossier look and add extra protection for metallic finishes.
How long should I wait between coats?
Due to the fast-drying formula, you should wait 15-30 minutes between coats, depending on ambient temperature and humidity.
Can this be used on metal surfaces other than cars?
Yes, the formula is effective on various metal surfaces, wood, and ceramics, provided the surface is properly prepared.
How do I ensure I have the right shade of grey?
Always verify your vehicle's paint code—usually found on a manufacturer's sticker in the door jamb, under the hood, or in the owner's manual—before purchasing.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears darker than the surrounding area
Check that the paint has fully cured; the color may darken slightly as it dries. Ensure the surface was cleaned of all oxidation before application.
Paint is bubbling or peeling shortly after application
This is usually caused by wax or grease remaining on the surface. Clean the area thoroughly with a wax and grease remover and reapply.
Paint is too thick to apply smoothly
Ensure the bottle has been shaken adequately. If the paint has aged, ensure the lid is always kept airtight between uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying, ensure the vehicle surface is clean, dry, and free of wax, grease, or silicone; using a degreaser or alcohol wipe is recommended for the best bond. The product is compatible with most OEM acrylic and cellulosic finishes.
To maintain the longevity of your touch-up bottle, ensure the cap is tightened firmly after every use to prevent the paint from thickening or drying out inside the container. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the brush bristles become stiff over time, they can be gently cleaned with a small amount of appropriate thinners.
