This guide is for vehicle owners looking to perform minor paint repairs on their cars. The Hycote Touch Up Colour Brush Paint offers a quick and easy solution for addressing scratches and stone chips with a fast-drying, durable finish. While it provides an exact colour match for many Ford models, its suitability depends on the specific paint type (acrylic/cellulosic) and the surface material.

Clean the area thoroughly with a degreaser and ensure it is completely dry. Remove any loose rust or paint flakes. For best adhesion, a light scuffing of the surrounding area can be beneficial.
Yes, this paint is suitable for use on metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics, making it versatile for various small repair projects.
The paint is fast-drying. However, drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity. Allow at least 15-30 minutes between coats for best results.
While the paint itself is durable, using a compatible primer before application and a clear lacquer afterward can enhance the longevity and finish, especially for metallic colours. Hycote offers matching primers and lacquers.
Apply the paint in very thin coats using the brush. Avoid overloading the brush. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Work in good lighting and try to match the direction of the original paint strokes if possible.
When stored correctly with the cap tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, the paint typically has a shelf life of several years. Ensure it is well-shaken before each use.
This touch-up paint is best suited for minor scratches and stone chips. For deeper scratches that expose bare metal, using a primer first is recommended.
Ensure the container has been shaken vigorously for the recommended time. There may be dried paint in the brush or nozzle; clean with a solvent.
Verify the exact paint code for your vehicle. Different model years or trim levels may have slight variations. Ensure the paint has been thoroughly mixed.
Apply in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Use light, consistent strokes. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Light sanding with very fine grit sandpaper (after full cure) may help blend, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or contaminants. For plastics, a suitable primer may be necessary.
Setup: Shake the 12.5ml container vigorously for at least two minutes before use to ensure the metallic particles are evenly dispersed. Remove any loose paint or debris from the area to be touched up.
Compatibility: This paint is compatible with OEM finishes, suitable for both acrylic and cellulosic finishes, and can be applied to metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
Care: Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out. Clean the brush with a suitable solvent immediately after use.
