FAQs

How do I find the correct black paint code for my car?

Consult your vehicle's owner's manual, check the manufacturer's sticker typically found on the driver's side door jamb, or contact your car dealership with your vehicle identification number (VIN).

Can I use this paint on large scratches or panel damage?

This touch-up paint is designed for small scratches and stone chips. For larger areas, professional repainting is recommended for a seamless finish.

What is the best way to prepare the surface before applying the paint?

Clean the area thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, and wax. Ensure the surface is completely dry. Lightly sand any rough edges of the scratch or chip if necessary.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying. It should be touch-dry within minutes, but allow at least 30 minutes before applying a second coat or exposing it to light wear.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

For best results, apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next until the desired coverage is achieved.

Can I apply a lacquer over this touch-up paint?

Yes, Hycote offers compatible lacquers that can be applied over the touch-up paint to provide protection and a gloss finish.

What surfaces can this paint be used on besides car paint?

The paint is versatile and can be used on metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics, making it suitable for various small repair tasks.

Troubleshooting

Paint not dispensing or brush is dry

Ensure the can was shaken thoroughly for at least two minutes. Check that the brush is properly seated in the cap and is not clogged. If clogged, clean the brush with a solvent.

Uneven application or brush marks visible

Apply paint in thin, even coats. Avoid applying too much pressure. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Ensure the surface is smooth.

Color match appears off

Verify the exact paint code for your vehicle. Ensure the surface is clean and free of contaminants that might alter color perception. Allow the paint to fully cure as the color can deepen slightly.

Paint is running or dripping

Apply paint in very thin layers. Do not overload the brush. Allow each layer to become touch-dry before applying subsequent layers. Ensure the surface is not over-saturated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, or loose paint. Lightly abrade heavily damaged areas if necessary. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Remove the brush from the cap.

Compatibility: This paint is compatible with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) finishes. It is suitable for use over existing acrylic and older cellulose finishes. It can be applied to metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics.

Care: Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Ensure the cap is securely fitted after use to prevent the paint from drying out. Clean the brush immediately after use with a suitable solvent to keep it ready for future applications.
