Product Information
Full details
The Hycote Touch Up Brush Paint in Silver is designed for vehicle owners and DIY enthusiasts looking to repair minor cosmetic damage like scratches and stone chips on their car's bodywork. It offers an easy-to-apply solution that provides a durable, colour-matched finish with excellent resistance to fading and UV light. While it is perfect for small touch-ups, it is not intended for large-scale panel resprays, and users should ensure the surface is properly prepared to achieve a seamless blend with existing factory paint.

FAQs
Can I use this on plastic bumper parts?
Yes, this paint is specifically formulated to be compatible with plastic surfaces.
Does this product require a clear coat?
While the paint is durable on its own, applying a clear coat over the top can provide extra protection and a higher gloss finish, especially for metallic paints.
How long should I wait before driving after application?
While it is fast-drying, it is recommended to wait at least 2 to 4 hours to allow the paint to cure sufficiently before exposing it to road dust or moisture.
Is this paint suitable for deep dents?
This is a cosmetic touch-up paint. It will cover the color of a scratch or chip but will not fill or level deep dents.
What is the shelf life of the paint?
When stored in a cool, dry place with the cap tightened securely, the paint should remain usable for several years.
Troubleshooting
The paint looks too dark or light compared to the car.
Ensure the bottle is shaken thoroughly for two minutes. Silver paint contains metallic flakes that must be evenly distributed to reflect light correctly.
The finish looks uneven or 'bumpy'.
You likely applied too much paint. Sand the area lightly with very fine-grit paper once dry and apply a thinner, more controlled layer.
Paint is peeling off shortly after application.
The surface was likely contaminated with wax or grease. Clean the area thoroughly with an automotive degreaser and reapply.
