To ensure the best color match, locate your vehicle's paint code (usually found on a sticker in the door jamb, engine bay, or boot) and select the Hycote Touch Up Brush Paint that corresponds to that code. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Yes, this paint is suitable for use on plastics. Ensure the plastic surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants. For optimal adhesion and finish, consider using a plastic primer before applying the touch-up paint.
The paint is fast-drying. However, recoating times and full curing times will vary depending on ambient temperature, humidity, and the thickness of the application. Allow sufficient time for each coat to dry before applying the next, and before applying lacquer.
A primer is recommended for bare surfaces (metal or plastic) to ensure good adhesion and color coverage. A lacquer can be applied over the dried touch-up paint to provide additional protection, enhance gloss, and improve durability. These are sold separately.
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed, the paint should maintain its quality for a considerable period. Check the container for any specific expiry date information. Ensure it is well-shaken before each use.
The 12.5ml container with a brush applicator is primarily designed for small cosmetic repairs such as scratches and stone chips. For larger areas, consider alternative Hycote products such as spray paints.
Ensure the container is shaken thoroughly for at least two minutes. Check if the brush is clogged and clean if necessary.
Apply thinner coats. Ensure the paint is shaken well before each application. Practice on a test surface if unsure about technique.
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from grease. Consider using a compatible primer for better adhesion.
Ensure you have selected the exact color code for your vehicle. Allow the paint to fully cure as color can change slightly when drying. Test under different lighting conditions.
Preparation: Ensure the area to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease or debris. Lightly abrade the damaged area if necessary and clean again.
Application: Shake the container vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Apply thin, even coats using the built-in brush. Allow adequate drying time between coats as recommended by the product. For best results, a primer may be needed for bare surfaces, and a lacquer can be applied over the dried touch-up paint to enhance durability and gloss.
Compatibility: This paint is compatible with OEM finishes, acrylic, and cellulosic finishes. It can be applied to metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Care: Store the container upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly closed after use. Clean the brush with a suitable solvent immediately after application if re-use is intended.
