Product Information
Full details
The Hycote Touch Up Brush Paint is designed for vehicle owners who need a professional-grade solution for masking minor scratches and stone chips. Its primary benefit is a precision-engineered color match that creates a durable, UV-resistant finish across automotive, metal, plastic, wood, and ceramic surfaces. However, users should note that because the finish is designed to be hard-wearing and fast-drying, careful application is required to ensure a smooth, level result on non-porous materials.

FAQs
Can this be used on plastic bumpers?
Yes, the formula is compatible with plastic surfaces, making it ideal for bumper scuffs.
How many coats should I apply?
Apply as many thin coats as necessary to achieve full coverage, allowing the paint to dry between each layer.
Is it safe for use on wood?
Yes, it adheres well to wood, though a primer may be necessary for porous, untreated timber.
What is the shelf life of the paint?
If kept tightly sealed in a cool environment, the paint can remain usable for an extended period, though it should be checked for consistency before each use.
Does this require a clear coat finish?
While the paint provides a tough finish, a clear coat can be applied over the top for additional depth and protection if desired.
How long does it take to dry?
The formula is fast-drying, typically reaching a touch-dry state within minutes, depending on ambient temperature.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears darker or lighter than the vehicle.
Ensure the bottle was shaken for a full two minutes. If the discrepancy remains, verify your vehicle's paint code against the product label.
The finish is uneven or shows brush marks.
Apply thinner layers and allow adequate drying time between coats. Use light, quick strokes to prevent the paint from drying while the brush is still touching the surface.
Paint is too thick to spread easily.
The paint may have thickened due to solvent evaporation; ensure the cap is tightened firmly. Do not add thinners unless specified by the product manufacturer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying, shake the bottle vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the pigments are properly mixed. Test the paint on a hidden spot or a piece of scrap material to verify the color match before proceeding to the vehicle.
- Compatibility: Safe for use on acrylics, cellulosics, and most plastics and metals.
- Application: Use the integrated brush for pinpoint accuracy. Use light strokes to avoid over-applying.
- Storage: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place. Ensure the cap is screwed on tightly to prevent the solvent from evaporating, which would cause the paint to thicken prematurely.
- Cleanup: If paint gets on unwanted areas, use a suitable automotive solvent or paint thinner immediately before the product cures.
