FAQs

Can I use this on plastic bumpers?

Yes, this paint is specifically formulated to be compatible with metal, plastic, wood, and ceramic surfaces.

Is this paint suitable for deep scratches?

It is ideal for deep scratches and stone chips, though multiple thin coats may be required to fill the void properly.

Does this require a clear coat?

While the paint is hard-wearing, applying a clear coat over the top can provide additional gloss and depth, matching the surrounding finish more closely.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying, but it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before subjecting the area to heavy washing or polishing.

Can I use this on older cars with cellulose paint?

Yes, Hycote paints are designed to be compatible with both modern OEM acrylic finishes and older cellulose systems.

How should I clean the brush after use?

The brush is designed for the 12.5ml bottle; ensure the bristles are wiped clean of excess paint using a compatible thinner before closing the lid.

Troubleshooting

Paint is bubbling during application

Apply thinner layers and ensure the base surface is completely dry and free of moisture or wax.

Color mismatch

Ensure the surface is properly cleaned. If the vehicle's paint has faded significantly due to sun exposure, a professional color match might be required as the touch-up represents the factory-new shade.

Paint is too thick for a smooth finish

Ensure the product is stored at room temperature before use; cold paint will have a higher viscosity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to sunlight and color fading
  • Easy to apply for non-professionals
  • Suitable for a wide range of materials beyond automotive metal
  • Fast-drying properties reduce wait times
  • Highly durable against weathering and corrosion

Cons

  • Small 12.5ml volume is not suitable for large body panels
  • Requires careful preparation to achieve a seamless blend
  • Metallic finishes like silver can be difficult to match perfectly depending on vehicle age

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper preparation is essential for the best results. Before application, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned with a degreaser to ensure maximum adhesion. The paint is compatible with most OEM acrylic and cellulose systems, but it is always advisable to perform a small patch test in an inconspicuous area. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is tightened securely after every use to prevent the paint from thickening. If the paint becomes too viscous, ensure it is stored at room temperature to maintain the proper consistency for the brush applicator.
