FAQs
How do I prepare the surface before applying the touch-up paint?
Clean the damaged area thoroughly with a degreaser. Ensure it is completely dry. For best adhesion and finish, lightly abrade the area if it is rusted or has loose paint.
Can I use this paint on plastic bumpers?
Yes, this paint is suitable for use on plastics as well as metals, wood, and ceramics.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is fast-drying, typically touch-dry within 15-30 minutes, but full curing may take longer depending on environmental conditions.
What is the volume of the paint in the container?
The container holds 12.5ml of touch-up paint.
Is this paint compatible with clear coats?
Yes, it is compatible with OEM finishes and can be used over existing paint systems, including clear coats, provided they are clean and sound.
Can I apply multiple coats?
Yes, multiple thin coats can be applied for better coverage and a smoother finish. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next.
What should I do if I apply too much paint?
If applied too thickly, the paint may not dry correctly or may appear uneven. If still wet, you may be able to carefully wipe away the excess with a cloth dampened with a compatible solvent. Once dry, it may require sanding and reapplication.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not dispensing from the brush.
Ensure the can was shaken sufficiently. If the brush tip is clogged, carefully try to clear it with a fine pin or a compatible solvent, ensuring not to damage the bristles. If paint has dried in the bottle, it may be unusable.
The repaired area looks uneven or streaky.
Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free from dust or debris.
Color does not match the original paint.
Ensure you have selected the correct Hycote touch-up paint for your vehicle's make and model. Color can also be affected by the age and condition of the original paint. For best results, test on an inconspicuous area first if possible.
Paint is not drying properly.
Ensure application occurred in a well-ventilated area with appropriate temperature (usually between 10-25°C). High humidity or low temperatures can affect drying times. Avoid applying thick coats.

Setup:

Care:
