FAQs

How do I prepare the surface before using the touch-up brush?

Clean the area thoroughly with a degreaser, ensuring it is completely dry. Remove any loose paint or rust. Lightly sand the edges of the scratch if necessary and wipe clean.

Can this touch-up paint be used on plastic bumpers?

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

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. Typically, a light touch can be made after a short period, with a second coat recommended after approximately one hour, depending on ambient temperature and humidity.

What is the shelf life of this product?

When stored correctly with the cap tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, the paint typically remains usable for several years. However, performance may slightly decrease over extended periods.

Can I use this paint over existing clear coat?

This touch-up paint is designed to match the base coat color. For best results on minor chips that have gone through the base coat, apply to the base color. It is not a clear coat substitute.

Is this product suitable for large repairs?

No, this product is specifically designed for small touch-ups such as scratches and stone chips. It is not intended for covering larger areas.

How many coats should I apply?

For best results, apply one thin, even coat and allow it to dry. If needed, apply a second thin coat after the first has dried sufficiently (usually around one hour).

Troubleshooting

Paint not dispensing

Ensure the pen has been shaken vigorously for the recommended time. Check if the brush tip is blocked; gently clear any dried paint.

Uneven application or visible brush strokes

Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Use light, consistent strokes. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Color mismatch

Verify the exact vehicle make, model, and year. Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepped. Different lighting conditions can affect perceived color match.

Paint not adhering properly

The surface must be completely clean, dry, and free from wax, grease, or polish. Ensure proper shaking of the product before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required. Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease and contaminants. Lightly sand the damaged area if necessary and wipe clean. Shake the brush pen vigorously for at least two minutes before the first use and intermittently during application.

Compatibility: This paint is compatible with OEM finishes and suitable for acrylic and cellulosic finishes. It can be applied to metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics.

Care: Store the touch-up brush in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent the paint from drying out in the brush. Clean any accidental spills immediately with an appropriate solvent before the paint fully cures.
