FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This Hycote Touch Up Brush Paint is suitable for use on metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics.

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.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

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 do I ensure the best color match?

Hycote color brushes have been matched to over 100 specific manufacturers and models. Ensure you select the correct paint code for your vehicle. Remember that original paint may have faded over time, which can affect the exact match.

What should I do after applying the color paint?

For a durable and glossy finish, it is recommended to apply a compatible lacquer (sold separately) once the colour coat has fully dried.

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the damaged area is clean, dry, and free from rust or debris. Lightly abrade the area if necessary.
  2. Shake the paint can vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure thorough mixing of the paint.
  3. Apply a thin, even coat of paint using the built-in brush. Avoid applying too thickly.
  4. Allow the first coat to dry completely (typically 15-20 minutes) before applying a second coat if needed.
  5. For best results, apply a compatible lacquer (sold separately) once the colour coat is dry.

  • Compatible with OEM finishes, acrylic finishes, and cellulosic finishes.

Care:

  • Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

  • Clean the brush immediately after use with a suitable thinner to maintain its usability.
