FAQs

What is the maximum temperature this paint can withstand?

This Hycote High Heat Paint is designed to withstand temperatures up to 100°C.

Can I use this on plastic parts?

This paint is specifically formulated for metal automotive components. Compatibility with plastics may vary, and testing on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended. For best results, use on intended metal surfaces.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times can vary based on temperature, humidity, and application thickness. Typically, recoat times are around 15-20 minutes, but full curing may take up to 24 hours. Refer to the can's instructions for specific guidance.

Do I need a primer?

While not always mandatory, using a compatible Hycote primer is highly recommended for optimal adhesion, durability, and a professional finish, especially on bare metal or previously painted surfaces.

How many coats should I apply?

It is generally recommended to apply 2-3 thin, even coats for best coverage and durability. Allow the recommended drying time between each coat.

Can I paint over existing paint?

Yes, provided the existing paint is sound and clean. Lightly abrade the surface for better adhesion, and ensure it is free from contaminants before applying the Hycote paint.

What is the volume of the can?

The can contains 400mL of paint.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray pattern or splattering

Ensure the can is shaken vigorously and frequently during use. Check that the nozzle is not clogged; if so, remove and clean it according to instructions. Hold the can at the recommended distance.

Paint runs or sags

Applied too thickly or held too close to the surface. Apply in thinner coats and allow adequate drying time between applications. Maintain the recommended spray distance.

Poor adhesion or chipping

Surface was not properly prepared (not clean, dry, or de-greased) or primer was not used. Ensure the surface is meticulously clean and use a compatible Hycote primer for optimal adhesion.

Does not withstand expected temperatures

The component may exceed the 100°C temperature limit, or the paint was not applied correctly/fully cured. Ensure application follows guidelines and that the component operates within the paint's rated temperature range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from rust, grease, and loose paint. Lightly abrade smooth surfaces to improve adhesion.
  2. Mask off any surrounding areas that should not be painted.
  3. Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use and periodically during application.
  4. Hold the can upright, approximately 25-30cm from the surface.
  5. Apply paint in smooth, even strokes, overlapping each pass by about 25%. Apply in thin coats rather than one thick coat.

Compatibility:

  • This paint is designed for use on metal components, particularly automotive parts like brake calipers and engine parts.
  • For best results and maximum durability, use in conjunction with Hycote primers and top coats. Ensure compatibility before mixing different brands or types of coatings.

Care:

  • Allow paint to cure fully (typically 24 hours) before subjecting parts to heavy use or extreme temperatures.
  • Clean painted surfaces with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
  • Store cans in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition.
