FAQs

Can I use this on plastic bumpers?

Yes, this paint is specifically formulated to be compatible with metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics.

Does it need a clear coat?

While the paint provides a tough finish, you may apply a compatible clear coat over it for additional gloss and protection if desired.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is designed to be fast-drying, typically touch-dry within minutes, though full curing takes longer depending on environmental conditions.

Is this paint suitable for deep scratches?

It is best for stone chips and light surface scratches; deep gouges that penetrate to the bare metal may require primer first.

How do I ensure the color matches?

Hycote matches these paints to specific manufacturer codes; always verify your vehicle's paint code against the product specifications before purchase.

Can I use this on non-automotive items?

Yes, its versatile formula allows it to be used on wood, metal, and ceramic objects as well.

Troubleshooting

Paint is clumpy or thick

Shake the bottle vigorously for at least 60 seconds; if it remains thick, check the cap seal for damage.

Visible brush marks after drying

Apply thinner layers and ensure the brush is not overloaded; allow more drying time between coats.

Paint is not sticking to the surface

The surface likely contains wax or contaminants; clean the area thoroughly with a suitable degreaser.

Pros and Cons

  • Precise color matching reduces the visibility of chips
  • Suitable for various substrates beyond just automotive metal
  • Highly resistant to sunlight and color fading
  • Easy to apply with the included brush applicator
  • Compact 12.5ml size is perfect for glovebox storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the surface is free of wax, oil, and loose debris using a degreaser or alcohol-based cleaner. Hycote Colour Touch Up is compatible with most standard automotive finishes, including acrylic and cellulosic types. To store the product, ensure the cap is tightened securely to prevent the paint from drying out. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Always shake the bottle thoroughly before each use to ensure pigments are properly suspended for an accurate color match.
