FAQs

How do I prepare the surface before applying the paint?

Clean the area thoroughly with a degreaser and ensure it is completely dry. Remove any loose paint flakes and lightly sand any rough edges. Shake the paint can well before use.

Can this paint be used on plastic bumpers?

Yes, the Hycote Touch Up Brush Paint is suitable for use on plastics, as well as metals, wood, and ceramics.

What is the drying time for this paint?

The paint is fast-drying. However, exact drying times can vary depending on temperature, humidity, and application thickness. Refer to the product packaging for specific guidelines.

How many coats should I apply?

Typically, one or two thin coats are sufficient. Apply a thin coat, let it dry, and then apply a second coat if needed to achieve full coverage and a smooth finish.

Is this paint compatible with my car's original paint?

Yes, it is compatible with OEM finishes and suitable for both modern acrylic and older cellulosic finishes. It's always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first.

How should I store the touch-up paint?

Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use.

What does 'colour matched' mean?

It means the paint has been precisely formulated by Hycote's technical team to replicate the exact shade of specific vehicle manufacturer paint codes, ensuring a seamless repair.

Troubleshooting

Paint not drying quickly

Ensure application is in a well-ventilated area with adequate temperature. Thick application or high humidity can slow drying times. Apply thinner coats.

Brush appears clogged or hard

Clean the brush immediately after use with cellulose thinners. If dried, it may be difficult to salvage; consider using a new brush for subsequent applications.

Color doesn't match perfectly

Verify the exact vehicle model and year. Ensure the original paint has not significantly faded. Allow paint to fully cure as color can change slightly. Test on a hidden area first for comparison.

Paint appears streaky or uneven

Apply thinner coats and allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Ensure the brush is not overloaded with paint. Smooth, consistent strokes are key.

Cons

  • Best suited for minor repairs; larger areas may require professional attention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required. Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, or dirt. For best results, lightly sand any rough edges around the scratch or chip. Shake the paint thoroughly for at least two minutes before use to ensure the pigment is evenly dispersed.

Compatibility: This paint is compatible with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) finishes and is suitable for use over existing acrylic and cellulosic paint systems. It can be applied to primed surfaces, metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle's paint and any existing coatings.

Care: Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent the paint from drying out. Clean the brush immediately after use with a suitable solvent (like cellulose thinners) to keep it in good working condition for future applications.
