Is this paint compatible with my car's original paint?
Yes, the paints are compatible with OEM finishes, and also suitable for both acrylic and cellulosic finishes.

The paint is fast drying. Expect it to be touch dry in approximately 15-20 minutes, but allow more time before applying subsequent coats or lacquer.
Can I use this to repair deep scratches?
This paint is best suited for touching up minor scratches and stone chips. For deeper damage, multiple applications might be needed, or professional repair may be more appropriate.

How should I store the touch-up paint?
Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Make sure the cap is tightly sealed after each use.
Troubleshooting
Paint not dispensing or brush clogged
Ensure the can was shaken sufficiently. Clean the brush tip with a suitable solvent if dried. If the ball bearings are stuck, shake more vigorously.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Avoid overloading the brush. Practice on a scrap surface first. Lightly sand and reapply if necessary.
Color does not match perfectly
Ensure you have the correct paint code for your vehicle. Note that older paint may have faded, so a perfect match can be challenging. Consider a primer and lacquer for better integration.
Paint is too thick or too thin
Shake the can more or less vigorously as needed. If too thick, consider adding a small amount of appropriate thinner (consult manufacturer recommendations). If too thin, apply multiple thin coats.
