FAQs
Can I use this on plastic bumpers?
Yes, this paint is compatible with plastic surfaces, making it suitable for touch-ups on bumpers and trim.
Do I need to apply a clear coat over this?
While the paint is durable, applying a clear coat over the touch-up will provide extra gloss and protection if the original vehicle finish was a basecoat/clearcoat system.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint is fast-drying, typically touch-dry within minutes, though full curing for a hard, durable finish may take several hours depending on ambient temperature.
Is this paint suitable for deep scratches?
It is best for chips and light surface scratches. Very deep scratches that have penetrated to the metal may require a primer first to prevent rust.
Can I mix this with other colors?
It is not recommended to mix this paint with other colors, as it is specifically color-matched to OEM standards.
How do I clean the brush after use?
Use a suitable thinners or brush cleaner to remove excess paint from the bristles, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thick or gloopy
Ensure the bottle is shaken well. If it remains thick, check that the cap was sealed properly; improper storage can cause solvent evaporation.
Visible streaks after application
Apply thinner layers and ensure the brush is not overloaded with paint. Use light, even strokes and allow for drying time between coats.
Paint is not adhering to the surface
The surface is likely contaminated with wax or silicone. Clean the area thoroughly with an automotive-grade degreaser before re-applying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using the brush, shake the container thoroughly for at least two minutes to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Ensure the surface is free of wax, oil, and loose rust. If applying to bare metal, a primer may be necessary for optimal adhesion. After use, wipe the brush clean with a suitable solvent to prevent hardening. Always store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure the cap is tightened securely to prevent the solvent from evaporating and the paint from thickening.
